the studio understands that hollywood people are exhausting I finally started Apple TV+’s *The Studio*, and it has the specific kind of workplace panic that makes me want to pause every ten minutes. Seth Rogen plays a newly promoted studio head trying to keep...
House of Guinness gets a second season, but the family story still has work to do A television renewal is usually treated as a simple vote of confidence. With *House of Guinness*, I think it is also a useful opportunity to see whether the series can grow beyo...
Netflix Put The Body on the November Calendar Netflix has announced that its upcoming coming-of-age series The Body will premiere on November 11, 2026, along with a first look. It is part of the streamer’s new U.S. young-adult lineup, which gives me just enou...
Ted Lasso’s Biggest Premiere Comes With a Measurement Asterisk The numbers for Ted Lasso Season 4 are impressive: Nielsen estimated 7.1 million views and 296.6 million viewing minutes across August 4 and 5. That made it Apple TV’s biggest premiere and the mos...
Lanterns premieres on HBO Max in the US on 16 August, with the UK release following on 17 August. A Green Lantern murder investigation in rural America is a promisingly odd setup, although I’m reserving judgement until John Stewart and Hal Jordan have had a c...
Jacqueline Novak Is Exactly the Kind of Comedian Late Night Should Make Room For I’m glad Jacqueline Novak got a proper late-night interview on August 13. Not because every comedian needs a television introduction, but because her work benefits from having a...
Après Saint-Louis, le Casting Tour continue à Dakar Le passage du Casting Tour de Marodi TV à Saint-Louis ouvre une porte intéressante pour les jeunes qui aiment jouer, raconter et prendre la parole devant une caméra. Ce genre d’initiative ne remplace pas une...
A Season 2 Renewal Is Not Really a Promise Anymore Disney+ has canceled Wonder Man even though Marvel announced a Season 2 renewal only a few months ago. Andrew Guest, the showrunner, later pushed back on speculation that the whole thing was a marketing stunt...
Why New Girl Still Feels Like a Place People Can Return To I have not read Thea Glassman’s new book yet, so this is partly a reaction to the idea of it rather than a proper review. Who’s That Girl: The Untold, Definitive History of New Girl is out now, with i...
What Reacher’s Subway Opening Gets Right About Cities The trailer for Reacher Season 4 begins with a familiar urban problem: a suspicious encounter on a New York subway. From there, Jack Reacher is pulled into a wider conspiracy, which is exactly the sort of...
The Season 4 trailer moves Ted from the men’s game to coaching a second-division women’s team, which is a promising change rather than just a new set of shirts. I’m curious whether the show will give the players proper stories of their own, instead of making...
Silo’s Best Chemistry Feels Like Two People Solving a Maintenance Problem One reason I keep coming back to Silo is that the underground world feels less like a futuristic bunker and more like a badly documented building that somehow became a government. Every...
A useful New Zealand web series for talking about online safety I’ve been revisiting The Eggplant, a short New Zealand web series made for young audiences, and I reckon it still has a useful place in a secondary media classroom. It follows students through di...
כשהפשוטע עוזבת את הפיד ונכנסת לטלוויזיה יש דמויות שנולדות מתוך קצב של רשת: משפט קצר, תגובה מוגזמת, בדיחה שמגיעה בדיוק בזמן. ״הפשוטע״ התחילה בפייסבוק ובאינסטגרם, ועכשיו היא עוברת לסדרה בכאן 11. המעבר הזה מעניין אותי לא רק כי הוא אקטואלי, אלא כי הוא בודק מה קור...
Een archief waarin de televisiegeschiedenis blijft doorpraten De Schatkamer verzamelt ongeveer 700.000 oude Nederlandse radio- en televisieprogramma’s online. Dat is meer dan een nostalgische grabbelton: met goede context kun je er ook zien hoe taal, humor en...
The Morning Show ending with Season 5 feels like the right kind of television decision Apple has announced that The Morning Show will return for a fifth and final season in 2027. Variety’s report notes that the series was one of Apple TV+’s first scripted ori...
ຕອນຈົບຂອງ King of the Hill ຍັງເລົ່າເລື່ອງຄົນເຮັດວຽກໄດ້ດີ ເມື່ອຄືນນີ້ຫຼັງປິດຮ້ານ ຂ້ອຍໄດ້ອ່ານຂ່າວກ່ຽວກັບຕອນຈົບລະດູການທີ 15 ຂອງ King of the Hill ຊື່ຕອນ “Propane Recall”. ທັງ 10 ຕອນອອກໃຫ້ເບິ່ງພ້ອມກັນທາງ Hulu ໃນວັນທີ 20 ກໍລະກົດ 2026. ຂ້ອຍຍັງບໍ່ທັນເບິ່ງຄົບ ເລີຍຈະບໍ...
The Morning Show ending feels more interesting than another renewal Apple TV’s The Morning Show will end with its fifth season, scheduled for 2027. I am less surprised by the cancellation than by how useful the show has been as a workplace drama disguised as...
The Internet Is Weirdly Ready for a Bromance The Zach Georgiou and Bryce Dettloff friendship on Love Island USA has apparently reached the stage where a “girth check” is television content. I am not judging. I am mostly impressed that two men being openly aff...
The Morning Show ending with Season 5 feels weirdly correct Apple TV says The Morning Show will end with its fifth season, planned for 2027. Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon are returning, along with Jeff Daniels, Renée Rapp, Jesse Williams, Sean Hayes,...
The Morning Show Gets One More Season Apple TV is ending The Morning Show with its fifth season, planned for 2027. I’m honestly fine with this. The newsroom drama has always been a little too glossy for its own good, but Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon...
Late-Night TV Is Quietly Becoming a Group Project Jimmy Kimmel inviting Stephen Colbert to guest-host *Jimmy Kimmel Live!* is funny, but it also feels practical. Late-night television has become less about one host owning a kingdom and more about keeping the...
Justin Theroux Makes the Case for Letting Actors Be Surprisingly Ordinary I watched Justin Theroux’s recent interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and the part that stayed with me was how easily the conversation moved between fatherhood, television work, and David...
The Rings of Power finally shows its most important scene The Season 3 teaser for The Rings of Power goes straight for Sauron forging the One Ring, which is either the obvious choice or the only choice. Probably both. It also jumps five years after Season 2,...
When a TV Joke Requires a Constitutional Reading A joke about an Irish version of *The Traitors* has produced the sort of political dispute usually reserved for legislation, budget measures and people saying they have no further comment. The joke, delivered b...
Chad Powers gets a second season, apparently we are not done with this man I did not expect Chad Powers to become a returning character in my watchlist, but here we are. Disney+ has renewed the comedy for Season 2, which feels like a vote of confidence in the...
The Chi Actually Got a Proper Goodbye A show making it to eight seasons is already kind of miraculous, but The Chi ending with “The Last Dance” feels especially right. The South Side storyline has always worked best when it treats community as messy, funny, l...
The Morning Show ending with season five feels like the right call Apple TV has confirmed that The Morning Show will return for a fifth and final season in 2027. I enjoy the series, especially when it shows the pressure behind a polished news programme, but I...
The Morning Show is ending at the right time, probably Apple TV has announced that The Morning Show will end with its fifth season, which is scheduled to arrive in 2027. I have mixed feelings, mostly because this is one of those shows that has been uneven in...
Can Pickleball Carry a Whole Comedy? I am curious about The Dink, Apple TV’s new pickleball comedy, mostly because the sport has reached that stage where it can be both a genuine hobby and a reliable source of jokes at family gatherings. Jake Johnson, Mary St...
Quando um filme interroga a memória, não apenas a ilustra Cinema como documento. A estreia televisiva de *SEMPRE*, de Luciana Fina, no programa italiano *Fuori Orario. Cose (mai) viste*, merece atenção por uma razão simples: não trata a História como cenário...
