XO, KITTY: A Sweet Expansion of the TO ALL THE BOYS I’VE LOVED BEFORE Universe

XO, Kitty (2023) is a sweet expansion of the To All the Boys universe that manages to capture the often all-encompassing and multi-layered confusion of teenage matters of the heart, while still sometimes managing to strain, but never quite break, the limits of believability in other areas. Smartly, this series takes the characters outside the … Continue reading XO, KITTY: A Sweet Expansion of the TO ALL THE BOYS I’VE LOVED BEFORE Universe

GINNY & GEORGIA S2: Stomps Out the GILMORE GIRLS Comparisons, Gets Darker, Messier, More Interesting

CW: Self-harm, depression, disordered eating, domestic violence, gun violence. I like the way the second season of Ginny and Georgia, whether intentionally or not, crushes any remaining tired comparisons to the Gilmore Girls under it's heel like some discarded chili cheese fries from Luke's Diner. This season also dispenses with cute hideouts behind loose floorboards … Continue reading GINNY & GEORGIA S2: Stomps Out the GILMORE GIRLS Comparisons, Gets Darker, Messier, More Interesting

FAKES Season 1 (2022): A Sincerely Good Series

Watching all ten episodes of Fakes will likely leave you with some trust issues, but you can believe me when I say it's entirely worth it. The Canadian series—which recounts the story of two high school best friends accidentally-on-purpose building a huge fake-ID empire—doesn't move at the frenetic pace of a lot of Netflix shows, … Continue reading FAKES Season 1 (2022): A Sincerely Good Series

DO REVENGE (2022): Yes, Do Watch Netflix’s Sharp-Witted Teen Satire

You know what never goes out of style? High school drama. Social status, cliques, outcasts, loners, crushes, kisses, jealousies, plots, ploys, meanness, ostracization, and, yes, revenge plots, are as timeless as some misguided adult telling teens that high school will be the "best years of their lives." Do Revenge, Netflix's latest contribution to this canon, … Continue reading DO REVENGE (2022): Yes, Do Watch Netflix’s Sharp-Witted Teen Satire
