The following contains spoilers of Search Party Season 5 in its entirety Well, I was wrong. Search Party did not end with Season 4, and I couldn’t be happier about that, because the Season 4 ending didn’t really do it for me in terms of closure.

It’s time for another round of the venerable TV Obsessive Awards! A word as to the ethos that guides the entries that follow (which also gets to a broader kind of ethos around here): we’re not claiming that our choices are the “best of the year” as though we can inhabit some objective point of […] More

Either way, if you’re looking for some things to consume while you relax (besides food), we’ve got you covered. Each week you’ll find in […] More

The following contains spoilers for Mare of Easttown Episode 5, “Illusions” I must start by saying if you are a viewer who has been watching Mare of Easttown purely for Evan Peters, I am truly sorry.

It’s like something out of a science fiction story, but it’s cold, brutal truth.
