I’ve been watching a Danish comedy (though I question the categorization) called Rita on Netflix. If you don’t want spoilers, (and it’s really good you ought to watch it when you have time to pay attention to subtitles) bookmark this for now and come back to it after you’ve finished Season 2. Watching Rita has […]
Scandal and Empire Bring Shakespearean Drama to Network Television
The accessibility and price of film and television are often seen as a threat to live performance by those who work in the theatre industry. From the very beginning, silent film threatened to eclipse the popularity of vaudeville entertainment and the livelihoods of performers all across the country. But, as PBS notes, the advent of […]
REVIEW: Bojack Horseman Season 2
Season 2 of Bojack Horseman, an animated Netflix original series, is now streaming. And it is perfection. You should stop everything else you’re doing and watch it right now. That includes reading this article. You can finish reading of course, if you need more convincing, but then clear everything else off your schedule for the […]
Review: Orange is the New Black – Season 2

Since I’m not paying close attention, I usually put on a cooking show where there isn’t a plot or something I’ve already seen before. Lately, I’ve been watching episodes of I Love Lucy on […]
Cutthroat I Ain’t
I recently started watching Cutthroat Kitchen on Netflix. I’ve seen it once or twice on someone else’s cable TV and wasn’t a huge fan, but I love Alton Brown. Plus, let’s face it, I’ve already powered through all the episodes of Good Eats, Chopped, and Man v Food streaming on Netflix so I need some […]
