Reviews
The White Lotus (HBO)
“Season 2 tightens its thematic focus on all things sex — the kind you yearn for, the kind you tolerate, the kind you pay for, the kind you use to get what you want. In the one week The White Lotus spends in Sicily, sex lies thick and heavy in the air, illicit and inescapable at all turns.”
Wednesday (Netflix)
“The thing is, despite Ortega’s fantastic performance and Burton’s active involvement, Wednesday as a whole never really captures what made “The Addams Family” so viscerally strange (nor is it half as visually striking). It does, however, get what makes a teen Netflix show tick.”
Interview with the Vampire (AMC)
“As every network jockeys to own the shiniest piece of IP possible to attract distracted viewers, the best thing to say about any adaptation is that it honors the source material while also evolving it, believably and purposefully, to fit a new medium.”
