I wrote this review, #Industry is fantastic TV.
Industry Season 4 might be the most incisive depiction of modern ambition on TV—where incentives, access, and image-building are as decisive as talent. Framed through fintech intrigue and razor-sharp character work, it’s prestige television with real bite.

‘Industry’ returns to assert itself as one of the best shows on TV
Season 4 makes Industry must-watch prestige TV: money, power, and control. Harper & Eric chase Tender’s secrets while Yasmin and Henry Muck turn the heat up.

The Pitt - Season 2 is the type of TV show we've been missing
‘The Pitt’ Season Two continues its high level of weekly TV
Season two of The Pitt sharpens its focus with deeper character work, intense medical realism, and a confident ensemble that proves traditional weekly TV still works.

They ain't letting them take those GPUs.
If Xi Jinping invaded Taiwan right now, and toppled the president there, on what grounds would the United States object? Or have any credibility to say anything?

I finally wrote out my thoughts on Bugonia — and I’m still conflicted months later. It’s a film with incredible performances and sharp filmmaking — but an ending that completely reframed how I felt about everything that came before it. Full spoiler review on Substack/Patreon. #Bugonia #moviereview
So whose side is Bugonia on?
I don’t like spoiling films—but Bugonia left me no choice. Months later, the ending still bothers me, and I can’t talk about this movie honestly without addressing why.

Former delivery warehouse worker, looking for assistance.
Currently looking for work and it's bleak. I hate still being in this situation, but I’ve gotten few hits on my many applications.
If you can help, I'll appreciate it more than anything. If you can't, I understand.

Timothée Chalamet gives one of his strongest performances—funny, messy, chaotic, and full of raw ambition. Odessa A’zion, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Tyler, the Creator also shine. This might be one of A24’s best films of the year.
