I don’t think that Mallory necessarily knew that Jeanette hadn’t seen Kate. After all, she saw her break into Martin Harris’s house and spend some time there before fleeing PLUS she saw who she assumed was Martin’s lady friend in the window right before Jeanette broke in. So I would think she pretty logically assumed…

Agreed.  These people are fairly well resolved - Kate is happy, Jeanette’s as disturbed as we all thought she might be, Vince and his boyfriend are back together (literally the only relationship that matters).  I want to watch new people.

I think it’s almost got to be an anthology. Otherwise, what, it becomes about a series of minor offenses between Kate and Jeanette spanning the seasons?

Poor Kate!  No wonder she’s so messed up.

So uncomfortable.  I was worried that they were going to toe the line of “look how charming he is” prior to last week’s episode (the scrunchie and the stargazing, etc) but then they really brought it home just how creepy and premeditated his acts were.

I’ve really enjoyed Cruel Summer.  Yes, part of it is just fun teen politics, but I thought last week’s episode was a really good example of how grooming works.  Too often on tv even now, young girls are given attention by older men and it’s treated as fun or cute or romantic and not what it is, which is really…

A solid 7.5. I never really thought about editing in tv before but after reading this I thought more about how editing helps jokes land in sitcoms.

It’s weird how people who frequent a site about film and tv might enjoy reading about aspects of making film and tv.

Yes. I love that Sudeikis manages to stay on the right side of Ted’s wholesomeness and kindness in a scene where Ted is essentially showing off.  It helps that the script makes it pretty clear that the only reason he’s showing off in the first place is to help Rebecca out, but just that calm, thoughtful delivery about…

I’ve read Tana French’s The Witch Elm, so I can tell you the answer:  Something very heartbreaking that has unintended ramifications for the people investigating the crime.

Esther is 15, so she’s been in Gilead since she was 8, but even before Gilead you had a growing deeply religious faction that was gaining more and more power. (I would argue that there are many young women who were raised in Duggar-type homes that are pretty close to being raised as Handmaids) It’s like Nick’s first…

Yes; from the book/initial premise of the show, the issue wasn’t that people couldn’t get pregnant so much as it was that the radiation that created The Colonies caused issues with babies being born living/able to thrive.

If the reveal is that Dan is still being skeevy and spying on kids at Constance, I’m going to be very excited.

Please; every time thick headbands go back into fashion, it’s GG reaching its paws out into society.  It may not have been good, but it had a lot of reach.

No, he would.  I like Dan well enough, but he has very little sympathy for people in the closet once they’re 18.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a vegan must be in want of someone to talk about veganism with.

Are you shocked, though?  Where lame white men frequent, so goes the Joe Rogan nation, and there are a lot of lame white men here.

Ted Lasso is just SUCH a delight. I hemmed and hawed about watching it because I didn’t want another streaming service, but it is worth the 5 bucks a month just to be able to pop on an episode when I’m feeling down.

Yes, you should. It’s not a genius, ground-breaking comedy by any means, but it is so sweetly charming and good-hearted and you will find yourself incredibly invested in the characters. A lot of people compare it to Schitt’s Creek in that it is equally a fish-out-of-water sitcom that is less concerned with plot than…

A very, very funny show about an Indian-American girl coming of age, thirsting over mostly useless boys and, surprisingly, narrated by John McEnroe.
