If you told me last year that this week’s unmasked singer would be afforded a cultural redemption arc by dressing like a mythical creature and singing a 7-year-old song written by Charli XCX and performed by Icona Pop, I wouldn’t have believed you. The Masked Singer is simply magical.

Fresh off a Golden Globe win, A Very English Scandal is being expanded into an anthology series. Next they’ll tackle the 1963 divorce of the Duke and the so-called “dirty” Duchess of Argyll, which should provide extremely rich territory for reassessment with modern eyes.
