Los Angeles Times Gushes Over Medical Drama With Syrian Refugee
On September 1, NBC premiered the “Pilot” of Transplant, which had been the most-watched television series for the 2019-2020 season when it aired in Canada.

‘Lovecraft Country’ Evokes Freddie Gray Death in 1955 Chicago
HBO’s Lovecraft Country is probably the perfect show for this time. Namely, it’s the perfect show to compliment the hateful racial breakdown that’s happening all over the country. Like any given riot, Lovecraft Country is only happy to pour fuel on the fire of a false racial narrative.

Yellowstone’s third season went out with a bang. Literally. **Warning: SPOILERS**
Freeform COVID Drama Infected With Social Justice
Freeform’s Love in the Time of Corona may go down in history as the one show nobody wanted to see. A snapshot of the miserable shutdowns done with all the subtlety of the Party of Five reboot. When even The Daily Beast calls it “unbearably on the nose and oversimplified,” something clearly went wrong.

Hedge Funder Pays Men to Harass, Assault ‘Yellowstone’ Wranglers
Land development and ranching are both dirty, mean and violent businesses, if Yellowstone is to be believed. Hollywood loves to make businessmen their villains and Yellowstone is no exception. The twist in this show is that the Dutton family and their foes are all willing to be evil to keep or to get what they want.
More 'Timely' Racial Reckoning from HBO's 'Lovecraft Country'
As if 2020 didn’t have enough racial tension, HBO decides to throw fuel to the fire through its latest series Lovecraft Country. Based on a 2016 novel, the story is yet another remark about how racist America is. This time, we’ve got the usual “timely” comparisons between 2020 and the Jim Crow era.

Watch Jesus Drop An F-Bomb in ‘Doom Patrol’ Season Finale
Like its heroes, HBO Max’s Doom Patrol is kind of a mess. The former DC Universe show is yet another example of TV writers thinking the concept of superheroes being noble people doing the right thing is too boring. Instead, we get a raunchy series that has the gall to have Jesus drop an f-bomb. I’m starting to miss the liberal fantasies of Stargirl.
