Hey, Medium. Long time no fucking see, huh? It’s weird to think that we used to talk to each other every day. Well, to be precise, I mostly did the talking, and sometimes you gave me money. Nothing to complain about, as far as I was concerned. Then somewhere along…

Despite being about solving a murder mystery, the most surprising thing about The Lovebirds might be that it was ever meant to get a theatrical release. If Netflix has had success with its original TV Shows throughout its run as a streaming giant, the same thing can seldom be said…

Ripley is no longer the menacing psychopath we once met on the beautiful coasts…

Here’s a little game for you: close your eyes and picture these two people. One is a failed writer. Like all good fictional writer characters, he’s also very, very depressed. You know what he doesn’t find depressing though? Wine. But he’s not a drunk, no way: just a connoisseur. The…
