I wrote about the enormity and intimacy of the Eras Tour as, after nearly two years, it finally comes to a close this weekend. Also, on live music scratching a metaphysical itch, the communal experience of shows and how they can be a near religious experience for fans.

The "cultural juggernaut" that is Taylor Swift's Eras Tour comes to an end this week. How did it become the most extraordinary live event of our time?

The final season of #MyBrilliantFriend hits Sky/Now today, so here’s a reminder of why it’s the best show on tv and you really, really should watch it. www.bbc.com/culture/arti...
'Criminally underrated': Why My Brilliant Friend is one of the best shows on TV
As the final season of the HBO adaptation of Elena Ferrante's Neapolitan novels begins this week, why has the show not received the plaudits – and the viewership – it deserves?

Seconding the below. Somebody, Somewhere is a total hidden gem and more people need to discover this wonderful show.
A while ago I asked for recs for good comedy dramas on TV as I'd broken my foot & was in need of cheering up. A few people mentioned Somebody, Somewhere with Bridget Everett, which had somehow passed me by. Now I can be a snooty, stony-faced bitch when watching comedy but MAN I love this show 1/2
