As the pandemic raged on, Jo Firestone bravely led a class of senior citizens to the stage. The resulting 2pm standup comedy airs on the Peacock app and is very much worth watching. It’s hilarious, sweet, and life affirming. We all know that senior citizens have the raunchiest sense of humor and Jo encourages her […]
Stath Lets Flats is weird, funny and even more awkward and cringe-inducing than The Office (either version). It won BAFTAs for best comedy and comedy performances. Jamie Demetriou has created something original and lovable.
Mixed-ish is a kooky, sweet and funny coming of age story. I just finished watching the second and final season. I delayed watching the last few episodes because I really didn’t want it to end. But I’d recently learned my lesson of putting off endings too long; first when the delightful “Doing the Most with […]
When I heard that there was a mural of “Lucifer” painted by @wisesnail in Brooklyn to advertise the final season on Netflix, I had to go see it. I was devastated that the series was ending and wanted to mark the moment. Lucifer is a really special show. On the surface it’s a procedural with […]
Reservation Dogs is a 2021 television hit. FX and Hulu have partnered with Taika Waititi and Sterlin Harjo to produce the Native American comedy, filmed in Oklahoma and written by a team of all-indigenous writers. The show follows a group of delinquent teenagers in a rural reservation. They get into and out of trouble, trying […]
For a show with Man in the title, there sure are a lot of women in charge. Ronald D. Moore (or “L. Ron Moore,” as I’ve taken to calling him due to his tendency to inspire cult-like fanbases) is not shy about strong, complicated, flawed female characters. “For All Mankind” puts women on the moon […]
The Starz series “Run the World” is, like the first episode’s title, phenomenal. The first season is nine 30-minute episodes that go by too quickly. There’s plenty of drama, but the comedic dialogue is fast and funny. There are too many one liners to name but one of my personal favorites is when Erika Alexander’s […]
On March 12, 2020, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert went on without an audience. 460 days later, Stephen Colbert returned to The Late Show stage with a full audience. He seemed ecstatic, and to be honest, it was a contagious feeling. It felt good to see Colbert in his element – in front of […]
I’ve been on a Irish and UK dark comedy/slapstick streak lately and I am absolutely loving it. The show “Frank of Ireland” pretty much got me from the name. It took the whole first episode to get into it but once I did I finished them all right away. (Well, I passed out after episode […]
