I was born and raised in the Chicagoland area, and I have a confession to make: I’ve never had an Italian Beef. I have had many an authentic Chicago dog – I’m not a monster, after all – but never an Italian Beef. If you’re not from Chicago, that likely means next to nothing to […]
When I started watching season two of Hulu’s murder mystery comedy Only Murders in the Building, I very quickly became worried that it had lost its mojo. It didn’t quite feel like the same show from season one – which was punchy, fun, quirky, and smart. Instead, it felt a bit lost in the woods […]

If there’s one question every TV critic hears time and again it’s: “I’ve finished Parks and Rec/The Good Place/The Office/Brooklyn 99/Schitt’s Creek and I need a new comedy. What should I watch?” If someone is looking for a show with a bit of an edge, I tend to recommend The Other Two or Mythic Quest, […]
