afraid to tell tvscholar hive I'm thinking of watching The L Word (for the first time)
i know it's illegal to critique The Sopranos but why does Edie Falco get like nothing to do in the early seasons (so far). sometimes she's barely in an episode rip
should I be blueskying more...what are the vibes where is everyone at
the more time goes by since HOW TO DIE ALONE's cancellation the more I think about what a shortsighted decision that was. what a shame.
hoping to watch less shows about crime, murder, and cops in 2025...give me a surrealist slow burn gay yearning auteur dramedy or something 😭 the stakes are too damn high. I'll even settle for an emotional family drama, what happened to those!
the concept of Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip (basically RH All Stars) is so much better than its execution, which ends up being quite boring as a watching experience — except for the bits where they reflect on their experience as housewives, but that could be explored in a different format imo
the way this genre is evergreen: “When a series of murders begins in the neighborhood,” Peacock’s logline teases, “Mickey realizes that her personal history might be related to the case.”

a fantastic leading cast (Julianne Nicholson, try not to say mother challenge FAILED) didn't make up for a mystery/conspiracy that was a bit womp womp for me. less colloquial thoughts in my review of Hulu's Paradise for @thewrap.com: www.thewrap.com/paradise-hul...

Why isn't every show about climate change?
Apple TV+'s Extrapolations is a decent attempt—there should be more.

New York Magazine@nymag.com · 2y agoHulu’s latest queer comedy import from the U.K. takes us back to the 2010s.
BIG BOYS was dropped unceremoniously on Hulu last month and I could not rest until I wrote about how much I love this queer show with uncanny parallels to my own life: for the first entry of my Appointment Viewing column in 2025 for @thecut.com www.thecut.com/article/revi...
