"Please Stand By" was fairly interesting and well done I thought.  Stars Dakota Fanning and several other fairly well known actors/actresses.  Fanning's character is a young woman w/ autism living in a group home in the Bay Area.  She is a huge Star Trek fan.  There is a contest to write a script for a Trek movie.  She completes a script but it's too late to mail it, so she decides she needs to deliver it by hand in a couple days in Hollywood.  She leaves the group home by bus at first, then suffers a series of misadventures.  Some people she meets try to help her, others take advantage.  I think it was barely in theaters and hasn't gotten much buzz, but worth checking out.

I didn't end up watching the whole season, but saw some of "The Alienist" on tv.  I'd say Fanning has very successfully transitioned to playing adult roles.  Don't see her still trying to play high schoolers or college kids.

Almost forgot, while Fanning is really good in this "Pete" the little dog almost steals every scene he's in.
