On March 4, or roughly 98 weeks ago in 2020 time, a 20-year-old musician named Curtis Roach uploaded the following video to TikTok. He was, we suspect, bored in the house and in the house bored. Oh, this sweet summer child. Little did he know what was coming.

Last week, season 17 of Bravo’s Top Chef premiered and the first of the 15 returning all-star chefs was summarily sent home. Thus begins another cutthroat season of the competitive cooking show, where tempers are sure to flare-up just as much as the grills and stovetops. Meanwhile, over on Instagram, a group of…

These are stressful days, so it no doubt comes as a relief that One Day At A Time is returning to our lives March 24 on Pop TV.

In their…

It’s a little unclear at first what we’re seeing unfold at this beginning of this episode.

One of Westworld’s biggest weaknesses has always been the distance between set-up and payoff. Take season one. The pilot ends with Dolores violating the one ironclad rule that hosts live by, the rule that makes the entire park possible: she kills a fly. It’s a small act of violence that immediately sets our…

Much of this final season of Homeland has lacked a certain...well, finality is probably the best word for it. For the most part, this feels like another chapter in the life of Carrie Mathison, consistent with what has gone before but not especially monumental.
