Two real-life stories are dramatized by streaming networks. “Room” has Tom Holland (from the Spider-Man in movies) as the first person to use a multiple-personality defense in a murder trial; it has three episodes today, then seven more weekly. “Flamin’ Hot” has Jesse Garcia as a guy who rose from maintenance worker to top food executive. It’s a movie, directed by Eva Longoria.

4) More streaming. “Tribunal Justice” begins today on Freevee. It’s a court show produced by Judy Sheindlin (of “Judge Judy”), with her son Adam Levy as one of the three judges. Arriving earier this week: The final season of “Never Have I Ever” (Netflix), a teen comedy-drama from Mindy Kaling … “Tar” (Amazon Prime), the Oscar-nominated movie … And “Based on a True Story” (Paramount+), a witty eight-parter with Kaley Cuoco.
