Mayor of Kingstown (S3/E9) Moving Day So maybe Mike isn’t the brilliant strategist we thought he might be.
The Serpent Queen (S2/E3) That’s Cult Behavior We need more Minnie Driver and less murderous queers.
RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars (S9/E12) All Right … We have great queens who show out, yet we’re left with a confusing ending to a forgettable season.
Lady in the Lake (S1/E3) A Tale of Two Mothers Maddie’s exploration of freedom is getting majorly dragged down by her bratty son.
The Real Housewives of Orange County (S18/E3) Flag on the Play We’re missing explosive drama, but it’s fun to have dumb, petty arguments like old Housewives seasons.
