In addition to the joy of writing for Paste Books, getting to write for Lacy was a professional highlight. The fact that one more place for books/TV/film coverage is shuttering is both maddening and disheartening.

I've been hankering to rewatch The Americans from the start for a long time (especially seeing Matthew Rhys and Keri Russell in other shows). I bit that bullet last night, and that dynamic from the jump is firing on all cylinders.

THE BEAST IN ME, which came out yesterday on Netflix, is a mystery show about a New Yorker profile writer who gets IN TOO DEEP with one of her subjects, and it seems far fetched until you read a profile like this where it's like, did you guys do a murder together? Maybe dial that shit back.
