HBO’s I May Destroy You is the best show currently airing on television. That may sound like a grandiose statement, but give it a couple of episodes and I suspect you’ll agree. What Michaela Coel has constructed with this complex, compelling, and emotionally visceral series is nothing short of amazing. And while there have already […]
Like many women who grew up in the late 80s/early 90s, Ann M. Martin’s “The Baby-Sitters Club” book series holds a special place in my heart. I remember taking the books out of the local library as a kid (starting with the “Baby-Sitters Little Sister” series that followed Kristy’s step-sister Karen and then “graduating” to […]
Back in the winter of 2015, I went with a group of friends to see a mockumentary film from a couple of guys from New Zealand about vampires. While several of my friends were already fans of Jermaine Clement and Taika Waititi (years before Waititi would snag an Oscar and become a celebrated MCU director) […]
Love, Victor, a sequel of sorts to the gay teen rom-com Love, Simon, had a winding road to its upcoming premiere on Hulu. Originally planned as a Disney+ original series, the streaming network got scared earlier this year and announced (after some additional time in cancellation limbo) that the series would be moved to Hulu […]
An interesting shift has happened over the last couple of months in the streaming war between Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, Disney+, and AppleTV+: Hulu has surged ahead in the race to develop the best original content. Yes, a large part of that surge has come from taking on the FX on Hulu imprint (which has also […]
The Office and Parks and Recreation are routinely heralded as two of the best comedies of the 21st century (and both are often mentioned on “Best of” lists that encompass a more significant period of time). But what fans of both shows will be quick to mention is that they became beloved in spite of […]
And, with an incredibly poetic (albeit frustrating) final scene, Killing Eve wraps its most uneven season to date. While I’ve been writing about it for the past eight weeks, often calling it out for its shockingly incoherent plotting and spiraling narrative, I had genuinely high hopes for the finale. I was expecting it to tie […]
If you love Bob’s Burgers but wish the series included more musical numbers (and boy, has that show had some great musical numbers), have I got a series for you! Central Park, the first major animation release from Apple TV+, comes from the minds of Burgers writers Loren Bouchard and Nora Smith, adding Josh Gad […]
Well gang, we’ve done it. We’ve made it through the penultimate episode of season three of Killing Eve, and I sure hope you understand all of what the show is trying to show us better than I do at this point. Watching this episode I had multiple moments where I was genuinely confused at how […]
Confession: I meant to write this article last year, right after the premiere of Dead to Me in 2019. But life in the Time Before was hectic and it never got written. However, now with seemingly unlimited time on our hands, the time has come to sing the praises of my two favorite trashy Netflix […]
