Bert Kreischer is one of the least funny people to have ever had a successful career in comedy, so it’s fitting that his fourth Netflix...

Buddhism is snaking through The White Lotus Season 3 like a vein, pumping life-giving thematic resonance through arteries and organs and back again.

I’m assuming that I know what the end of The Potato Lab is going to be already because it’s an enemies-to-lovers rom-com and they all tend to work the same in a macro sense.

Sometimes a show like The Potato Lab comes along and works almost in spite of itself. It’s an odd phenomenon.

Iliza Shlesinger was my favorite female stand-up comedian until Taylor Tomlinson (Quarter-Life Crisis;  Look at You) entered the scene, and even then, it was a...

The White Lotus is always about a murder. Season 3 is potentially about several; we know this because the premiere featured a bunch of gunshots and at least one floating corpse.

There’s an easy charm to The Potato Lab that feels like alchemy; narrative gold from leaden rom-com tropes.

I get it. I get why The Potato Lab works, and it’s a surprisingly obvious realization, highlighted really capably by Episode 3.

Picture This has all the traits of a failed romantic comedy, but some elements hold it up at times, making it a decent option for...

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, it's worth reiterating that Poppa's House is a significantly better show when it's focusing on Poppa -- especially his relationship with Ivy.

You can’t cancel Andrew Schulz, that much is clear. And people have tried. This Netflix special, taped on his Life tour, was originally going to be filmed at...

At a pinch, you could quite easily forget that The White Lotus is still a murder mystery in Season 3. It’s the only show that can devote an episode to characters lounging around poolside and doing basically nothing and still be considered prestige TV.

Oddly, my concern with The Potato Lab is now that the weirdness of it might put people off. And that’s an interesting position to be in as early as Episode 2, since I’m still making a few assumptions about where it might all be heading.

What is it with K-Dramas these days? The concepts seem to be getting more and more bonkers. Now seems an odd time to suddenly decide that a good old rom-com isn’t enough anymore; there needs to be some kind of unique qualifying gimmick.

Adulthood is complex—at least, that’s the main message of the Norwegian Netflix film The Wrong Track. I also believe that labeling this movie solely as...

Pardon my ignorance, but I thought a slumber party was something teenage girls did. Perhaps that’s true and Junior is just regressing even further into his default state of unevolved moron in the absence of his wife, who is sadly elsewhere for Episode 12 of Poppa’s House.

With the introductions out of the way, “Special Treatments” is another quintessential episode of The White Lotus.

Look, it was virtually a given that When the Stars Gossip was going to have a lackluster ending given how increasingly bad it has become...

Like many people, I can’t wait for When the Stars Gossip to end. And while that might sound a little harsh, don’t worry about it, since I firmly believe that the show itself can’t wait to end either.

There’s a lot going on in Episodes 9 & 10 of Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, which is to be expected. “Hero or Menace” and “If...
