Like the medical dramas of the 2000s, the following decade was swamped by shows about dance. One of the most prevalent was Amy Sherman-Palladino’s “Bunheads,” which followed a former Vegas showgirl turned small-town ballet teacher, and was unfortunately cancelled after one season. Now, nearly 15 years later, Sherman-Palladino and her
The Second Season of “Andor” Stands Tall | TV/Streaming
“Andor” opens its second season with a micro version of what it does so well: a scene of sharp intellect about becoming who you are when you stand up for what you believe in, before pivoting to a larger-than-life “Star Wars Action Sequence” that comes out of nowhere and unfolds
In Season 2 of HBO’s “The Rehearsal,” Nathan Fielder Tries to Save Lives | TV/Streaming
There’s nothing quite like the Nathan Fielder stare.

Apple TV’s “Government Cheese” is Almost Great | TV/Streaming
Apple TV’s new comedy-drama “Government Cheese” boasts a talented cast. The story is witty, filled with religious references and commentary on 1960s culture.

Class Critique In Apple TV+’s “Your Friends and Neighbors” Lacks Bite, But Still Entertains | TV/Streaming
Apple TV+’s new series “Your Friends and Neighbors” opens with the image of its protagonist, Andrew Cooper (Jon Hamm), laid out in a pool of blood. It’s not his own, though: it belongs to the body of an unknown man, whose corpse Cooper walked in on when he was attempting
Seth Rogen’s Clever “The Studio” Skewers Hollywood with Love | TV/Streaming
Following the industry shift brought about by the 2023 SAG and WGA strikes, Seth Rogen’s “The Studio” arrives as a tribute to artists and creatives striving to thrive in the business while also serving as a hilarious giant middle finger to the executives undermining the art form today. If all
Tom Hardy Carries Promising Double-Episode Premiere of Paramount+’s “MobLand” | TV/Streaming
I’ll admit to entering “MobLand” with some hesitation. Paramount+ has wasted no time becoming the hub for what could be called “Dad TV,” mostly by Taylor Sheridan, but not exclusively, and I haven’t been the biggest fan of most of it. It’s really an extension of the fact that network
“Side Quest” Expands Virtual Universe of One of Apple’s Best Programs | TV/Streaming
Apple TV+’s “Mythic Quest” has been one of the streaming company’s best comedies, an underrated examination of the increasingly difficult work/life balance, and how easy that can be thrown off in creative fields like video game development.
