The harmful trope that's still haunting queer TV

4 years 5 months ago
For four seasons, "Killing Eve" seduced fans with a deadly game of cat-and-mouse between the titular Eve, a British intelligence agent, and the assassin Villanelle -- two women bound by blood and crime who shared a sexy mutual obsession.

'The Northman' goes heavy on blood-soaked style and light on substance

4 years 5 months ago
Part "Hamlet," part "Conan the Barbarian" and a whole lot of "Vikings," "The Northman" is a gorgeously shot exercise in visceral thrills that goes heavy on atmospherics and very, very light on story.

4 years 5 months ago
Setting a high bar for HBO's upcoming "The White House Plumbers," "Gaslit" looks at Watergate from the perspectives of several key players, deriving its title from the horrid treatment of Martha Mitchell. Losing a bit of momentum down the stretch thanks in part to its diffused storylines and semi-satirical tone, it's still an extremely well-cast look at the presidential scandal that made the suffix "gate" part of our lexicon.
