so impressed by Stuart Campbell & Mitchell Robertson, the two young stars of HBO's HALF MAN. briefly spoke to them about finding their way into Richard Gadd's new show & what they found most compelling about it:

Isn't it telling that a guest star is the best part of one of the final episodes of The Boys? www.avclub.com/the-boys-rec...

Hulu's crime comedy adds Kumail Nanjiani, Fred Armisen, and Andrew Rannells to its cast. www.avclub.com/deli-boys-se...

Hellooooo bluesky I’ve been super thrilled to cover this Broadway season - you can find some highlights in this thread 😃

it’s already that time of the year huh? wrote about THE BEAR:

Well, my turn to make one of these posts. Yesterday was my last day at The A.V. Club. I got laid off and the site’s Games section is basically gone. It was a pleasure working with Garrett and our freelancers. If anyone has opportunities for games/TV/film journalism or consulting please let me know.

After 4 years at Jezebel & 2 1/2 as EIC, I'm signing off. This was the dream job of all dream jobs. Working at Jez—let alone leading it—never stopped feeling surreal. I'm so proud of the work we've done, & so grateful to everyone who made my time here what it was. More soon 💚🏄‍♀️

sooo The Vampire Lestat is going on tour, babyyy!!! cannot wait to see Sam Reid rock out.

Big court date for the InfoWars takeover tomorrow. Cross fingers, knock on wood, send one up. We're hoping our agreement with the families and receiver is greenlit by the judge, despite Alex's hate campaign against them all. If we win, expect an Emergency Broadcast. Stay tuned, and wish us luck.

Obsessed with Apple TV's WIDOW'S BAY, an eccentric & sharply written horror comedy that boasts a stellar cast & setting. Come for Matthew Rhys & Stephen Root, stay for Kate O'Flynn!! The show kinda feels like lightning in a bottle. Full review:

AMC's THE AUDACITY is a show about terrible tech titans. I spoke to creator Jonathan Glatzer and star Billy Magnussen about why they want the audience to care about affluent, awful characters & how Magnussen prepared to play a man-child CEO like Duncan Park.

The Audacity's Billy Magnussen and Jonathan Glatzer chat with The A.V. Club about satirizing Silicon Valley, lessons from Succession, and more. www.avclub.com/the-audacity...

loved watching Schmigadoon! on Broadway & loved reading @drewupdates.bsky.social on why it works as well as it does:

Matthew Rhys, Kate O'Flynn, and Stephen Root are delightful in the sharply written series Widow's Bay. Our review: www.avclub.com/widows-bay-r...

You don’t need to go very far to see that the Para-Bros merger will mean censorship, reprisals, punishment and exclusion. They are already at it. Trust them when they tell you they will use the power and this consolidation of media for political reasons. www.avclub.com/hollywood-bl...

wrote a little bit about THE PITT writing out Dr. Samira Mohan, the outcry around it, & the conversations we ~should~ be having more of about this whole situation:

bring back shame

The heated online discourse about Supriya Ganesh's departure from The Pitt only scratches the surface of a bigger issue.

We put The Pitt's season-two closer under the microscope, and ask if a night shift spin-off could work. www.avclub.com/the-pitt-sea...

crazyyy timing for today's new episode of THE BOYS S5, in which Homelander has quite a vision & decides he's better than Jesus Christ & that people should worship him...

“Everybody’s using AI for everything nowadays, and if you don’t, you’re a misfit outsider who should be stoned to death in the town square, and then resurrected virtually from your data so you can be stoned to death in the virtual town square, for infinity.” www.nytimes.com/2026/04/15/o...

there are lots of great reasons to watch Margo's Got Money Troubles, but one of them is that if you are into a certain Type of Guy, Nick Offerman has never been hotter

A few thoughts on THE CHRISTOPHERS (which I liked!) and Soderbergh’s embrace of AI (which I like a lot less).

surprised at how much i enjoyed DTF ST. LOUIS(probably because of the performances), despite not being a fan of its whole whodunit conceit

For more than a week, Amazon has managed to keep a death at its Troutdale, Oregon, facility out of public view. Workers I spoke to are pissed.

Back at the old stomping grounds covering The Audacity. Pretty good premiere; looking forward to watching Sarah Goldberg on the verge of a nervous breakdown for the next seven weeks. www.avclub.com/the-audacity...

I’m back on the Hacks recap beat for the final season, naturally www.avclub.com/hacks-season...

What a beautiful moment.

Now that the DARK WINDS S4 finale is out, re-sharing my set visit piece! It was so special to go and watch this show come to life & to talk to the cast + crew about the value of this type of Native American storytelling and representation on TV today.

If you're interested in more on the business model that took over TV as streaming ascended, I talked to Parks & Rec/Good Place creator Mike Schur about this model, a "bait & switch" & how all this affected the medium/writing for TV (from 2020 but still relevant): www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/20...

Is AMC's The Audacity: A. A drama B. A comedy C. A dramedy D. A telenovela Check out this BTS clip to decide for yourself. www.avclub.com/the-audacity...

spoke with Irene Choi for @vulture.com about her first (and hopefully not only) season on The Pitt: www.vulture.com/article/the-...

So excited to report that I got to visit the New Mexico set of DARK WINDS (one of my favorite shows!) last summer. It was a lot of fun to talk to and an eye-opening experience to watch the cast & crew bring this special, sensational AMC drama to life:

Had a really great in-depth conversation with #Paradise writer and EP John Hoberg about the Season 2 finale, which characters' fates are 100% definitive, how the third and final season "will answer all your questions," and more:

wrote about PARADISE's season 2 finale, which is somehow unhinged yet sentimental and a tad rushed yet satisfying:

icymi, reviewed Riz Ahmed's #Bait, a pretty galvanizing & deeply personal comedy show about the pitfalls of fame, what it means to be a South Asian actor, & (like it or not) carry that torch of representation. out on prime video now! also: Sheeba Chaddha is in this & SHE RULES.

i will be riding the high of this great news for such a long time!

Riz Ahmed's foray into 007 territory is now streaming at the Bond franchise's new home, Prime Video. ICYMI, here's our review of Bait: www.avclub.com/bait-review-...

wowww ok color me intrigued

I've been fascinated for a while by the comedy-to-directing-horror pathway, and was freaking *thrilled* to be able to discuss how the genres interact with Zach Cregger, Jorma Taccone, and the #ReadyOrNot2 team! consequence.net/2026/03/horr...

obsessed with Riz Ahmed's new tv show, BAIT, which premieres tomorrow on Prime Video. it's a creative & darkly funny comedy that comments on the pitfalls of fame and tells a deeply personal story. highly recommend!

just watched PROJECT HAIL MARY and my review is that i want to watch it on a big screen again immediately!!!

Never After Dark was the best thing I saw at SXSW and it wasn’t close! www.avclub.com/best-film-at...

BREAKING: Workers at CBS are walking out. The unionized team that works CBS' streaming service are going on a 24 hour strike in New York and San Francisco. The walkout comes after negotiations with CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss reportedly imploded.

soo happy to get the official S3 renewal for PARADISE. recapped this week's very fun episode, which expands on the show's bonkers sci-fi scope & gives its elusive villain a backstory.

congrats to amy madigan for winning an award for playing dr. meredith grey's therapist!!!

next: I 🩵 I Love Boosters!

i need to know who is holding Nicole Kidman hostage and making her do these dreadful tv shows. prime video's SCARPETTA is a real low point imo:
