Issa Rae is on a roll, obviously. Two days after the second season of her critically-acclaimed HBO show Insecure wrapped, the actress and showrunner announced she had landed a CoverGirl partnership, which includes an ad campaign.
Couples in real life don’t often get a shot at a relationship post-mortem. When they do, the conversation turns out awkward and resentful by design, though if you’re lucky it’s also reflective and full of perspective—it is, after all, a discussion about the end of a love that didn’t work—hence the title of Insecure’s…
Veep is such a prescient political satire, its last season basically included gags about President Donald Trump before that was even a thing. Now that reality is too bizarre for serialized television, Veep is laying their story to rest.
Theeere he is, Mr. True Detective. Theeere he is, your ideal! The dream of a million men who are more than pretty can come true!
Jon Snow makes a fair number of dumb decisions. One of them: Not wearing a hat, or any sort of head covering, not even a nice fur-lined hood, when his entire family schtick is wandering around gloomily informing people that winter is both coming and also here. But it turns out this one’s not entirely his fault!
A hacker escalated its weeks-long attack on HBO’s computer network on Sunday, leaking several episodes of Curb Your Enthusiasm that weren’t due out until October. It has not, however, spilled any new episodes of Game of Thrones, just to get that out of the way up top.
Jon Stewart saw us crying and screaming about how much we miss him right now, so he’s returning with two comedy specials to shut us up.
David Simon’s forthcoming HBO series The Deuce is ostensibly about how porn became the cultural and economic juggernaut it is today—but it’s also about misogyny, according to David Simon. Cool.
Westworld premiered its first season two trailer at San Diego Comic-Con this weekend, offering a glimpse of a world turned chaotic and brutal. In the midst of it all, our heroine Dolores snarls atop a galloping horse, firing a rifle like a goddamn goddess of vengeance. Promising!
On Insecure, Issa Rae’s HBO comedy about black life and dating in Los Angeles, Yvonne Orji plays Molly, an ambitious, single lawyer with a hole in her heart like everyone else. The first season saw Molly warily dipping into the dating pool with little success and surviving a fractured friendship, while Season 2 finds…
One of the highlights of The Defiant Ones—HBO’s four-part documentary about music magnate Jimmy Iovine, Dr. Dre, and the music and culture that launched their careers—is the trove of studio footage the filmmakers were able to access.
On Allen Hughes’s The Defiant Ones, the four-part HBO series airing this week that traces the careers of Dr. Dre and Interscope boss Jimmy Iovine, hip-hop journalist Dee Barnes is positioned as an unimpeachable bearer of truth. Her authority is called upon several times during the second part of the series, which…
Sometimes the world does give gifts.
Mahershala Ali is what True Detective needs to recover from its terrible second season.
HBO has just released its latest trailer for season seven of Game of Thrones, focusing on the war that is and the war to come. Winter is here, everyone, and while things aren’t looking great for the peoples of Westeros—particularly everyone who’s dumb enough to be fighting against Daenerys—season seven is looking…
On the heels of their break with Kathy Griffin, CNN has severed ties with Believer host Reza Aslan—and also, seemingly, for Trump-related reasons. Aslan recently referred to Donald Trump as a “piece of shit” on Twitter. Who among us, truly?
The web series Brown Girls, written by Fatimah Asghar and directed by Samantha Bailey, was released in February to a wildly enthusiastic reception. Now their story is jumping to cable.
For as much time as The Leftovers spent on loss and its manifestations, it was very much a show about possession and unity. And though it may have been hard to discern at times, it was also a show about hope. [Spoilers.] Each season ended with the show’s central characters, Kevin and Nora (Justin Theroux and Carrie…
HBO’s much-hyped Bernie Madoff movie—the one that starred Robert De Niro and Michelle Pfeiffer, not Richard Dreyfuss and Blythe Danner—premiered over the weekend. While it did very little to help me understand exactly how Madoff’s $50 billion Ponzi scheme actually worked, Wizard of Lies is an expectedly slick-looking…
