“Yellowjackets” Episode 110 Recap: Unsolvable Mysteries

I hope Yellowjackets keeps teasing us, keeps planting “character Easter eggs” rather than plot ones, keeps revealing things that ultimately are easy to predict but difficult to swallow.

“RuPaul’s Drag Race” Episode 1402 Recap: Making HIStory

Ava DuVernay’s “Naomi” Is Here and Queer (and Absolutely Gorgeous)

It’s not the first time DuVernay has added queer characters to a pre-existing canvas: in 2016, she added Nova Bordelon, a bisexual journalist/activist, to the world Natalie Baszile created in Queen Sugar. The goal, the creator told television critics earlier this week, isn’t representation, it’s normalization.
