W najnowszym odcinku Ania z Kubą bez spojlerowania rozmawiają o Pełnym kole, nowym serialu Stevena Soderbergha wyprodukowanym dla HBO Max. Detektywistyczny thriller opowiada o skutkach nieudanego porwania nastolatka przez gujańską mafię. Wydarzenie splata ze sobą losy dwóch rodzin i ujawnia dawno skrywane sekrety. Obsada jest wspaniała, wśród niej Claire Danes, Zazie Beetz i Timothy Olyphant. Czy Pełne koło jest warte waszego czasu?
