House of the Dragon Season 3 got off to a pretty chaotic start, and with all the action going on in the Gullet and King’s...

House of the Dragon opening Season 3 with the Battle of the Gullet seems like something of a mission statement. Considered to be one of...

You have to hand it to Sam Levinson, Euphoria’s Season 3 finale was not what I expected it to be, in several ways. In hindsight,...

In a feature for Variety, Richard Gadd said that, “I don’t think happy endings, or even conclusive endings, are really true to life.” He wasn’t...

I’m not sure how it happened. I’ve been making fun of Euphoria Season 3 since the beginning, and it really did look to be running...

Watching Half Man can be so stressful that I'm not sure it even qualifies as entertainment. Art is supposed to make you feel things, obviously, and this show certainly does that. But what I mostly felt during Episode 5 is sheer, weapons-grade anxiety.

Here I was, claiming that Euphoria doesn’t have a great deal going on in Season 3 beyond the obvious viral sensationalism of Sydney Sweeney’s kaiju boobs.

And that scene is a major character’s OnlyFans persona taking on outsized proportions and stomping Kaiju-style through a fake cityscape.

To say the show is called Rooster, it’s very much not about Rooster for depressingly large stretches. And given we’re right on the cusp of...

Half Man is a cruel show when you think about it. Sure, it’s about cruelty, but that’s not really what I mean. Just think about...

How do you follow Baby Reindeer? This must have been the question knocking around Richard Gadd’s head when coming up with Half Man, since, at...

Euphoria is a very literal show, often too literal for its own good, so the whole enterprise isn’t partial to metaphor. This has been as...

At the risk of repeating myself, I’m not sure Rooster is really going anywhere. I keep giving it a chance to, and Episode 8 is...
