It’s fair to say that every human on Earth knows that Peter Parker became Spider-Man after being bitten by a spider, so it’s a mercy...

Returning in Episode 9 after a hiatus of several weeks, Poppa’s House abides by the principle that a dog makes everything better.

Well, Ryong’s extraterrestrial isolation didn’t last long, did it? There I was thinking that When the Stars Gossip might improve a little after taking a fairly major swerve.

It’s the script, isn’t it? I think that’s what’s irking me about When the Stars Gossip. We’re on Episode 7 now and the K-Drama still hasn’t really improved in any meaningful sense.

The ending of Shafted resonates because it doesn’t take the easy way out. It isn’t especially happy, either, though Episode 6, “Heartbreak”, at least ends...

We’ve seen a lot of shows like Shafted, especially on platforms like Netflix. The French comedy series is a knockabout exploration of masculinity, especially the...

I said in my recap of the premiere that Disney+’s K-Drama Unmasked is unusually forward about sex and violence, and if nothing else Episodes 3 and 4 prove me right.

One of the problems with When the Stars Gossip – and it’s admittedly a "me" problem – is that I only care what’s going on in one narrow section of it.

When the Stars Gossip needs a turning point, I think. If Episode 5 proves anything, it’s that the status quo isn’t quite enough, despite the novelty of the setting.

You have to wonder how much money Cameron Diaz was offered for Back in Action. It was evidently enough to coax her out of retirement,...

If you’ve seen Season 1, I’m sure you know the base story of Jenny Hans’ Netflix Series, XO Kitty. If you haven’t, however, here’s a...

I have no idea what to make of Unmasked, which after two episodes feels like a comedy tripped and fell into a crime drama and nobody knew how to separate them.

From a stage festooned with live plants for no real reason that I can discern, Ari Shaffir delivers his second Netflix special (fifth overall), America’s...

A question that occurred to me midway through When the Stars Gossip Episode 4 – what, exactly are we supposed to be latching onto here? It’s a worthwhile question.

When the Stars Gossip has been, thus far, a very strange and silly show, with a far-out premise about fertilizing eggs in space and a lot of low-stakes slapstick to pad out the episode runtime.

Filmed at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Florida, Gabriel Iglesias: Legend of Fluffy opens with a bit of self-aggrandizing artifice that...

Stick with me here as this is a slightly weird thing to say on just Episode 2, but When the Stars Gossip is almost like the anti-K-Drama.

It’s fair to say that sci-fi isn’t exactly a go-to genre for K-Drama, and sci-fi-comedy even less so, which makes When the Stars Gossip an especially curious choice for a Netflix series.

It takes an effort to remember this now, but there was a time when nobody knew who Sacha Baron Cohen (The Spy) or any of his...

It’s obvious what the ending of The Love Scam will be ten minutes after pressing play. Depending on who you are and what you’re looking...
