We chose as strange a week to come back as we did giving up smoking, amphetamines, and sniffing glue. Two of the first four days really have not much new to offer. And sadly we’re going to have to get used to it since the … Continue reading What To Watch: 09/09/2023
Whether lightly bellowing the warning title of the most important horror film of the last decade or explaining eccentric schemes to his friend Childish Gambino, LaKeith Stanfield always catches the screen scholar attention. In a new Apple TV+ series he’s a New York City father … Continue reading What To Watch: 09/08/2023

Reality Winner is a hero to some and at best a question mark to others. She clearly did a brave thing, whether or not you think she was heroic. Either way, her story is compelling, and that compelling story is at the center of Tina Satter’s play and now HBO series. And it leads a post-Succession, post-Barry TV suggestion universe on this Memorial Day.
BRAD’S PICK:
Reality [HBO, 10p]
It girl Sydney Sweeney stars as Reality Winner in this new biopic on Max. The play-turned-movie will be informative for me because i don’t know a lot about her story. Also it should cement Sweeney’s status as a mega star.
KATHERINE’S PICK:
The Curious Case of Natalia Grace [ID, 9p]
Investigation Discovery offers “bombshell interviews” and “unprecedented access” into the adopted family of Natalia Barnett, who might have been a six-year-old with a growth disorder and hearing and vision problems or a murderous adult, like Orphan.
JASON’S PICK:
The Rising/Barons [The CW, 8p/9p]
The CW imports a pair of new series and I could not decide which to use. At 8pm, it’s a UK revenge-from-the-grave thriller, and an hour later, we’ve got an Australian drama about 1970s surfers. Both look promising.
We’re back and just in time for one of the biggest days/weeks in TV in awhile. Two iconic shows end today and a third modern classic finishes up on Wednesday. Tonight, we find out will it be Shiv or Kendall or Roman or even Cousin … Continue reading What To Watch: 05/28/2023
