The Audacity satirizes Silicon Valley's misbehavior and the exploitation of personal data, reflecting growing contempt for tech elites.
In a rare scene of pure, wholesome heroics that tie the entire season together, he bolts in and grabs the pen out of Doug Sr.'s hand. With full sincerity in his words, he tells his boss that he's interrupting the meeting because he's 'looking out for the people that have looked out for me.'
From the minute she enters the world, she has a mother who hates her and strangers trying to kill her. I'm actually still trying to make sense of the episode's prologue: Set in 1997, a random Circuit City employee gets a cryptic message on his Windows 95 PC ordering him to kill Jane, who is less than a day old, before she grows up into a major threat.
This being the final on-screen round with time-crossed lovers Claire and Jamie Fraser, there are plenty of older, previously absent faces who have returned for the show's swan song, as well as plenty of ghosts who loom large as Outlander makes its way to its final reckoning.
Whereas other characters are cold and sharklike, Yas feels her way through the world-and uses her vulnerability to manipulate others. Being born into wealth taught her that none of us is in command of our fate, so we had better cheat for whatever control we can. She's the statuesque girlboss for the new gilded age.
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, pickup order to lack of renewal. Here we bid farewell to the canceled shows of 2026. Less than a month into the year (and last lunar year not even over) and shows are already starting to drop. This post will serve as living tribute to the TV we're going to miss in 2027. Don't cry because they're over, smile because hopefully there are some sort of residuals in place for the workers.
It may have taken viewers a while to feel this fresh sense of buyer's remorse, but many of the problems with Landman, Season 2 are the same as with Landman, Season 1-they just feel less novel, and thus more grating, now. You can say what you want about Sheridan being a self-satisfied, boringly anti-woke writer of liberal, urban, and educated characters, and a spottily misogynistic writer of female characters-and this season has its doozies in each category.
Jenny G. Zhang: After a series premiere that seemed to be received pretty well by viewers-although the diarrhea smash cut was certainly divisive-we open the second episode of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms with another jump scare: big dong alert, courtesy of Ser Arlan of Pennytree, who is truly packing the heat. (While he is probably not a Best or a Worst Person in Westeros this week, he certainly deserves some kind of title.)
