I agree. I am still trying to process but, the way I see it, the show right now is more focused on making a statement about how easily man can and do detach from their responsibility to the children they create. It is also making a statement about the various kinds of fathers there are out there. All season, we've…

Of course, the child's racial identity will be an issue but when you suddenly find yourself pregnant, I think the focus is more on getting through the pregnancy, ensuring the health of the baby, and for Hannah in particular, culling support from friends and family and even the child's father (which she does not have).…

No, the "magical negro" trope goes way back in literature, predating television, theatre, even Spike Lee. Just one example off the top of my head: Jim from Huck Finn.

Not trying to be mean here, in all seriousness, but there are rumors that she is struggling with an eating disorder. I sincerely hope that is not true and she has just taken her diet/workout overboard, but you are right, she appears unwell.

She was great, made the character very likable and fun. I haven't googled but I'm surprised if this is her first big job, though I bet she'll have more.

Thank you for providing context. I don't agree with the reviewer, but at least I understand his thought process now a little better. Carrie can channel some of her "unflappability" into motherhood, not a bad thing to do.

I don't get why it's tragic or unsettling that Carrie would choose her child over her job. She capitulated bc Dar was playing with the highest stakes possible. Who would play around with their child like that? I would say nothing and play nice as well. It's one thing to struggle with balancing work with motherhood,…

No, it is the same guy, I am pretty sure. The man who Chuck was in the sauna with and got him the interview at Cravath?? (I thought that was the firm) is the same person who is now Chuck's attorney.

Except it is highly unlikely that the state's attorney for the Southern District would be home at an hour that children should reasonably be having dinner. Just not how it is for the big lawyers in NY. Getting home at 7 or 8 is more the norm (if you don't have a long commute, which Chuck doesn't), and most kids aren't…

Or the fact that Wendy, casually dressed, had time to take her daughter to a skateboarding lesson (and stay for the whole thing) in the middle of the day. I understand that she is technically her own boss at the moment, but given the Rhoades' housing/tuition bills, she would have to be hustling nonstop to book…

At this point in my life, the better husband is the person I'm attracted to. Signed, woman who had her fill of good looking bad boys and is now happily married to a good guy. Wish Madeline would see the light.

At that age, you can't really force them and they engage in so much fantasy and magical thinking you don't know what's what. They are unreliable, at best. If Renata did coax or pressure Amabella into giving a name, Amabella is likely to say Ziggy again, because she knows that response is palatable to her mother (bc…

I think that no matter how you see yourself and live your life, when it comes to your child, you want them to have better and more. I don't think she is looking for his help so much as she wants to know that the baby she is growing and has grown to care about has a father who cares about it too, at least a little. If…

Her acting has gotten so much better, so much more skilled and nuanced, at least in this role. My main criticism of this show is that the acting is generally subpar, but she has raised her game significantly.

It almost rivals the Joey Buttafuoco/Amy Fisher opera from Mozart in the Jungle…but that was decidedly much worse.

I think that in the case of Big Little Lies, Ziggy's mom is doing her best to give him base level information about his dad, despite the fact that he is wholly unsatisfied with what he's received (can't blame him, poor kid). It is not age appropriate to tell him about the rape - and she doesn't really know much else…

I think a better actress would have handled Marnie's arc better. Allison Williams is just too stiff and one-dimensional as an actress that you never fully buy into what she's selling. She always sounds like she is reciting lines so everything she says comes across as inauthentic.

p.s. Am I the only one who was sorta impressed with Andrew Rannell's pre-basketball dancing?

This was a great episode and also made me feel that I didn't want the show to end so soon, a sentiment I heretofore have not had about Girls. Each of these miniarcs could have stood alone as an episode, and I would have been invested, though much less with Marnie's (I am sorry but Allison Williams is such a terrible…

Are you talking about Steph? Why would you assume she is Nigerian or transgender?? There has been nothing contextual to suggest either. This is the review for Billions by the way, because I don't think you are watching the same show….
