The three themes of lessons learned from HBO Max's Station Eleven are the same as the pandemic: love, regret, and art.

A tale of legendary hunters and monsters that reminds us once more not to judge a book by its cover. Enjoy this heartwarming sea shanty with a well-done plot twist.

‘A Good Person’ makes it clear that forgiveness is hard.

I didn’t love Expecting Amy, the mini-series following Amy Schumer’s pregnancy, but it brought up a lot of great unspoken side-effects of working and growing a human in America.

“Nobody 2” is the kind of sequel you expect to roll your eyes at—and then end up grinning through the whole thing.

The whole venture is frustratingly empty, and left me desiring something more.
