Brexit

-

As the British bicker over just how to leave the European Union, along comes a primer on how the 2016 vote for Brexit went down. The featurelen­gth docudrama captures machinatio­ns on both sides, but focuses on the “Vote Leave” campaign and its little-known chief strategist. Benedict Cumberbatc­h is all in as the slight, balding Dominic Cummings, who eked out a narrow, unexpected victory by stoking racial resentment­s and using social media to stir up groups of potential voters no one had targeted before. Just don’t count on this being the definitive account. Saturday, Jan. 19, at 9 p.m., HBO
