To the point
Recently, Netlflix broke our tender queer hearts by announcing that it would not renew Sense8 for a third season, citing such dreary (and frankly heteronormative) reasons as “numbers.” But today, co-creator Lana Wachowski took to Twitter to announce that the show’s fans had done the impossible, and convinced Netflix to give us the goodbye we deserve…
Hello and welcome to the recap of the finale of the rebuilding season of the best women’s prison drama in the Southern hemisphere. Previously on Wentworth, Franky and Allie plotted their escape via the giant, person-size coffins the prisoners were inexplicably making for their window boxes. Franky wanted out to prove her innocence in Mike…
Previously on Wynonna Earp: Dolls is still a missing lizard man, Mercedes moved home to buy real estate and rebuild her family’s fortunes but mostly she just found giant spiders, Nicole is worried about Waverly and she is probably very correct, and also there are ghosts. Today at the homestead, Waverly Earp is in a…
First of all, it feels important to say that I don’t normally do the thing I’m about to describe. There are people who do; people whose whole social media raison d’etre is going head-to-head every day with Trump supporters. I’m not one of them. That’s not to say I don’t argue about politics on Twitter,…
Cable Girls (or as it is known in Spain—Las Chicas Del Cable) had me at “women-focused” and “historical setting.” From the moment I found out about the show, I knew I had to devour it as soon as it was released on Netflix this past April.

Previously on Wynonna Earp: Dolls was captured and then he wasn’t but now he is in the wind, Waverly feels strong but her smooches taste different, Jeremy exists and so does a monster with a bedazzled glove, and Wynonna is going to kill everything in the Ghost River Triangle that is not an Earp or…
Ladies and gentlemen of Wentworth fandom, it has long been my opinion that sports analogies are the last refuge of defeated writers, a kind of rhetorical Helm’s Deep to which one can marshall one’s remaining forces and make a final stand against an encroaching tide of meaninglessness. I had been saving mine for a rainy day,…
You know, any time I start to complain about my job, I firmly remind myself that I get to watch and write about television for a living, and I shut my mouth. I know I’ve got it easy. But guys, recapping the middle episodes of a Janet King season is HARD! The plots are so…
Previously on Wynonna Earp, everything was demons. Wynonna got a destiny and a gun and had to shoot her own evil sister. Dolls disobeyed his shady government agency Boss Lady to help his friends, and got himself locked up in the process. Waverly got the girl and touched some black goo and might be evil…
