Horny Bisexual Betty Is the Best Part of Riverdale’s Final Season So Far

Even if her attraction to Veronica is mostly relegated to fantasies, that doesn’t make it not “real.”

In Never Have I Ever Season Four, Devi, Eleanor, and Fabiola all go to Prom. Devi is South Asian and in a peach gown, Eleanor is East Asian and in a purple gown, Fabiola is Afro-Latina and in a red tux.
TV Reviews

“Never Have I Ever Season Four” Stepped Right Into the Affirmative Action Debate

As in previous seasons, it’s hard not to feel that a show that’s theoretically about raising the profile of an often-misrepresented racial minority in America, instead completely misrepresents racism as it exists in America.

TV Reviews

“Class of ’09” Features Sepideh Moafi and Kate Mara Flirting Over 3 Decades

The show eased a fear I didn’t realize I had by guaranteeing that the end of The L Word: Generation Q did not mean the end of Sepideh Moafi playing queer and looking at women like she wants to devour them.

Jinkx Monsoon’s New Comedy Special Is Wonderfully Weird

With “Red Head Redemption,” Jinkx finds something between her singular cabaret shows and more traditional stand-up.

HBO’s “Somebody Somewhere” Is Middle-Age Queer Friendship and Hard-Won Hope

I’m one half of a Hallmark movie, if they made Hallmark movies about middle age lesbians.

TV Reviews

“Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies” Can’t Go Both Ways

Rise of the Pink Ladies wants the privilege of deciding when and how questions of race matter, but that’s not how it works — not on a fictional television show where teenagers sing on cafeteria tables for fun, and not in life.

TV Reviews

“Dead Ringers” Review: Rachel Weisz Playing Dysfunctional Twins in This Gory, Glorious Queer Nightmare Has Ruined Me

This series is the gold standard for how gender-swapping adaptations should function; it should feel intentional and be an additive and expansive choice, not mere surface-level detail.

I’m delighted to report that there is not one, but two different storylines that involve LGBTQ+ characters in the TV adaptation of Naomi Alderman’s best-selling book.

TV Reviews

Netflix’s Beef Is Very Stressful — It’s Also an Incredible Work of Art

Beef grapples with a lot of the same themes of sex, power, wealth, perception, and deception as the popular series White Lotus but does so with a lot more nuance — especially in its explorations of race — and a lot more creative ambition.

TV Reviews

“Tiny Beautiful Things” Neglects Its Queer Storyline

Since television is a collaborative medium, changes to expand a story to include other identities and experiences are welcome. The problem with this series is it wants inclusivity without acknowledging how that changes its central narrative.
