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…

American Horror Story: Cult premiered on FX September 5 with an episode rife with social justice themes and worn-out tropes about conservative racism. Throughout the episode, we are not-so-subtly reminded that liberals are the good guys, the tolerant ones, the kind and conservatives are hateful, bigoted, and conscienceless. The show sets up a classic good vs. evil, and the Trump supporters are…

In keeping with liberals’ quest to remove the stigma from abortion, Tuesday’s episode of Hulu’s Difficult People, “Fuzz Buddies,” has lead character Julie (Julie Klausner) treat abortion as casual and normal as getting a punch card from your local coffee shop.

With great trepidation, I tuned into Thursday night’s episode of NBC’s The Night Shift, knowing the plot would center on a mass school shooting and dreading slogging through a predictable story line. Imagine my surprise when conservatives not only weren’t the predictable, caricaturized villains commonly found flinging lead on network television, but were instead the victims of an amped up,…

In the September 1st episode titled “We Are All Sharks” of Netflix’s Chelsea, disgraced longtime journalist and CBS anchor Dan Rather bloviated on today’s journalism. The interview was laced with irony and the lack of self-awareness was breathtaking.

The September 4 episode of TBS’s People of Earth “Bee Kind,” revisited their sacrilegious storyline of a Catholic priest having an affair with a married woman, and this time, they took the story to even more offensive heights.

Netflix’s hit series Narcos premiered its third season on September 1 and, after two seasons of a violent, semi-historical account of the war against drugs in Colombia in the 1980s and '90s, the show decided to go one step further by highlighting and focusing on infamous drug lord Pacho Herrara’s homosexual orientation. Because even in September 2017, critics still consider that “amazing to watch…
