Also, as much fun of a show that it's been the last few years, I'm really happy the Emmy bubble has finally burst on The White Lotus. Time to free up all those nomination slots. (Except for Carrie Coon. She deserves every nom.)

There is a lot of excellent television on the air right now (Severance, The White Lotus, Yellowjackets, to name a few).
And The Pitt is the best show currently on TV by a mile.

Finally started season 2 of Poker Face, and if I were @rianjohnson.bsky.social I also would have cast Cynthia Erivo in every single role. This show is so damn butt-munching good.

I was so excited about this episode of The Last of Us that I finished this post a full day early. This may be the most fun I’ve had writing about TV so far. Plus, I got to title a section, “Liar, Liar, (Joey) Pants On Fire”, which I think deserves a Pulitzer.
