I would have much rather had a reality show called Raised by Wolves and a prestige sci-fi drama called Fuckboy Island

Every time I read an article about HBO Max, I have to ask myself “Did Elon Musk buy HBO?”

“So you’re saying he’s rushing, instead of dragging?”

I feel like JK Simmons shows up for half a day, nails everything on the first take, and heads home. It's the only way he could be so prolific. 

Why not? She showed up to the last reunion...

There’s a straight line from Bill Haverchuck to Roman to Guilfoyle.

They’re hot balls of gas is space. Learn a book.

The more you’ve spent, the more you can write off. Unless they think keeping Minx is going to attract more incremental subscriber dollars than it cost to produce (unlikely), the math works.  Problem is, they’ve been doing this over and over, and are almost certainly going to lose subscribers over the drumbeat of…

It think this finale should have also put Meghann Fahy in the running. The change in her face when talking to Ethan was a masterclass.

1) Laura Dern cannot cameo; oddly, her character was pictured on Dominic’s phone in the episode and it was definitely ... NOT Laura Dern.

not that there’s a ‘wrong way’ to watch stuff, but it feels you spent so much energy trying to get ahead of what was happening and be more clever than the show you forgot to actually watch it.

I don’t know if we can trust Jack’s insistence that it’s really his uncle. 

I don’t think Valentina got played. Mia is a transactionalist, purely so. She never promised Valentina a rose garden, just a night of self-discovery. Mia kiboshed the idea of a future relationship and Valentina rewarded her honesty. Theirs may be my favorite relationship of the show.

we unfortunately had to submit this piece the day SZA’s album came out, but i have personally been loving it!

You may have missed a point with Portia. Both her sticking with Tanya and not running from Unconscious Jack were classic abuse victim reactions, to which asking “why didn’t she leave” is off-base.

I don’t need a murder to get invested in a season. Just give me relationship drama among pretty people at a hotel.

The first time I watched Tanya's death I was near tears. The second time I laughed so hard I nearly passed out. What a phenomenal character. A+ episode.

Um...as a corpse?

Yellowstone: Tracey Flick Can’t Win

Yes. It was good, but it was more a sequel to the book (where Tracy was semi-sympathetic) rather than the movie (where she was a monster and was implied that she would rise to great heights because of it). Tracy has ended up in her early 40s as an assistant principal at a school who keeps getting passed over for…
