There was plenty to take away from Episodes 5 and 6 of “The Dynasty: New England Patriots,” which are now streaming on Apple+.
Episode 5 zeroes in on the 2008 season that the Patriots played without Tom Brady, while Ep. 6 is one of the wildest of the series. It dives into the rise and fall of Aaron Hernandez, the deeply troubled tight end who was arrested for murdering Odin Lloyd while on the Patriots roster. It begins with New England drafting Hernandez out of Florida, and chronicles his time in Foxborough through the eyes of teammates and executives.
