Hey everybody!
As you may have noticed, there was no livestream for Irresistible last night. First off, I'm sorry about that! There were a couple of technical hiccups that I wasn't able to rectify before the date and I should have updated you all in the meantime.
I am still planning on doing this livestream, altho...

HBO's Barry has a funny premise: a hitman is bored from killing people and just wants to settle down. It's a riff on the Difficult Men era of TV, defined by central middle-aged men behaving badly in shows like The Sopranos, Mad Men, and Breaking Bad. But is this premise just for laughs or is the show trying to say something d...

The Problem with Jon Stewart talks about a lot of issues—usually through the lens of massive generalized topics like "war" or "the economy" or "white people." But the one thing the show perpetually bumps up against is its unwillingness to grapple with the bedrocks of American policy: capitalism and neoliberalism.

There's a reason it's late, I promise!!
TLDR:
- Jon Stewart made an episode about race and whiteness and since I talk about that in the essay, I want to make sure I address that

- Q&A on Sunday 4/10
Thanks everybody, you are all super good

Jon Stewart is one of the most influential political commentators of the 21st Century, a champion for liberals, and one of the most dominant presences on TV ever (10 straight Emmys!). He's returned to TV with The Problem with Jon Stewart, and it got me wondering: What the hell happened to Jon Stewart?

Euphoria is a show on HBO and it is...a lot. Why does it take place in high school? Why not college? Why not the prison from Oz? Let's find out — I have thoughts!
Viewer Discretion advised. This video is uncut. In every sense of the word.

I’ve recommended 2021 shows here and here, and ranked every show I watched this year 2022-01-04 03:09:33 +0000 UTC View Post
Some people watch TV to be transported, some want company while they fold their laundry, and some people are determined to watch the worst trash they can. We can all enjoy TV in different ways, so I broke down the year into 9 categories based on different kinds of TV-watchers:
I’m not a big fan of Top 10 Lists. Even when there’s this much TV, you end up with a lot of lists that look the same, and they all kind of assume a specific viewer. But there’s a fundamental problem with that task—not everybody watches TV for the same reasons.
Did that stop me from ranking every single ...
