“Vida” Ends as It Began: A Queer Love Letter to Chicanx and Latinx Communities

Much like the Hernandez sisters, Vida is Tanya Saracho’s bar, her nightclub — and no one gets to push her out before last call without a fight. Few get to say that they’ve truly made history. That what they’ve touched won’t be the same after they’ve gone. Television won’t be the same after Vida. That’s just a fact.

“Hitmen” Review: Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins Trade Poached Pears for Contract Killing in This Silly Comedy Series

With a high focus on the banter between the two, it’s perhaps only the absence of Sue’s trademark lesbian blazer and Mel’s trademark not-lesbian blazer that nudges our subconscious to remember they’re not being national treasures Mel and Sue, but mercenary murderers.
