Season Four of Netflix’s BoJack Horseman, the animated adult sitcom about a washed-up ‘90’s television star, debuted on September 8th. The fantasy rich series focuses on hot button issues, including fracking and mass shootings this season.

In its penultimate episode on September 13, The Sinner crossed the line again with a scene in which teen sisters Cora (Jessica Biel) and Phoebe (Nadia Alexander) kiss each other and Frankie (Eric Todd). Frankie and Phoebe then have sex on the couch while Jessica Biel gets intimate with her boyfriend J.D. (Jacob Pitts) and another man on the floor in the same room. From the series that brought us…

South Park kicked off its 21st season on September 13 by taking on the entitlement of the uneducated, working-class, angry white men who were said to be Trump's base.

Season Four of Comedy Central’s Broad City opened with an episode titled “Sliding Doors” on September 13th. Themes from last season randomly pop into this flashback-style episode through the eyes of both characters, Abbi Abrams (Abbi Jacobson) and Ilana Wexler (Ilana Glazer) as they relive the day they first met, with a twist.

If you were looking for a liberal's thoughts on Donald Trump's immigration policy strung together with a plot, the September 12 episode of American Horror Story: Cult is just the show for you. If, however, you were looking for an entertaining horror story that won't preach at you for an hour, I'm afraid you're fresh out of luck. The episode "Don't be Afraid of the Dark" featured the show's main…

NBC's Midnight, Texas is back on the list for yet another religious slam. This time a human priest faces possibly the most violent and gruesome death of the series so far. And right next to his church. 

Amazon’s original series One Mississippi, which streamed its second season on September 8, focuses on a Los Angeles radio host, a lesbian named Tig (Tig Notaro), moving in with her family in Mississippi. The story follows semi-autobiographical scenarios based on comedienne Tig Notaro’s life, but the low hanging fruit of Trump-is-a-racist jokes, the modern day slavery remarks, and the jerkish…

To hear New York’s junior senator, Democrat Kirsten Gillibrand, talk, you would think that the reason for random gun violence deaths was due to the sales of gun silencers. In the September 8, 2017 episode of Netflix’s Chelsea titled “Comfortably Naked,” Gillibrand describes the reason she left the ever-shrinking ranks of moderate Democrats to join in with the far-left wing crowd and, of course,…

Though the ominous feeling of concern for those in the path of Hurricane Irma in Florida hung heavy in the air, the show must go on. Miss America 2018 on ABC aired September 10th and throughout the show, donations for hurricane relief were solicited for those affected in both Texas and Florida. Never fear, though. Politics dominated the final question competition and yes, it was all about…

The description of the newest HBO show The Deuce reads, “The story of the legalization and ensuing rise of the porn industry in New York beginning in the 1970s.” If a plot like that doesn’t make your stomach churn, get your supply of eye-bleach ready for what’s sadly up to be the latest hit show on HBO’s hands - because this story, along with HBO itself, is all too ready to remind us that sex…

During the season 16 premiere of Lifetime’s Project Runway, we were introduced to designer Aaron Myers who described himself as a "dude in a dress" who wants to create androgynous fashions because as he claimed, that is where fashion is heading.

FX’s Snowfall has finally come to its season finale, and it honestly couldn’t get here fast enough for me. The long, drawn-out stories of characters making down-right awful choices has never been a turn-on for me, and ten episodes is ten too many. The final insult comes from one last jab at former President Ronald Reagan.

Until this week, The Sinner was a wonderful break from the regular agenda-driven television that overwhelms all other options. With the September 6 episode, Part VI, they broke their streak, when the main character Cora (Jessica Biel) demonstrates what her boyfriend does to her on her younger sister Phoebe (Augie Murphy).

We have learned about the fears held by Ximena (Lisseth Chavez) this season as her illegal immigrant parents face their fear of potential deportation. In the September 5th season finale titled “Prom”, direct aim was taken at the timely subject of DACA – Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. The writers of the show must be extra excited that President Trump just today announced his intention to…
