Black History Month TV picks: 'Clean Slate' and 'Luther: Never Too Much'

A new sitcom about a transgender woman in the Deep South just came to Amazon Prime Video. "Clean Slate" stars Laverne Cox and is the last TV show that legendary producer Norman Lear worked on before his death in 2023.

NPR TV critic Eric Deggans explains how it evolved out of a pitch to reboot Lear's "Sanford and Son," and discusses "Luther: Never Too Much," a new documentary about Luther Vandross.
