    Mike Flanagan's Timely 'Carrie' Is the First Worthwhile Adaptation in 50 Years (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Everyone knows what happens in Carrie. Fifty-two years after its publication, the novel that ignited Stephen King’s career has so thoroughly engulfed the culture, you’d have to be almost as sheltered as Carietta White herself not to have absorbed its most indelible images. The locker-room tampon gauntlet and “Plug it up!” chant. Carrie’s smothering holy-roller mom, locking her up in prayer-closet solitary confinement. The eerily unlikely prom date. The swinging bucket that has haunted every coro

    HBO’s Billionaire Divorce Drama 'War' Doesn’t Know What It’s Trying to Say (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    In the third episode of War, a legal drama from HBO and Britain’s Sky TV, a tech billionaire played by Dominic West makes a generous and degrading offer. He’ll give Steven (Robert Daws), one of many hirelings advising him in a nasty divorce, a wristwatch worth a million dollars if he disrobes “down to your socks, right now.” Steven’s initial response is a nervous giggle. Then he’s frantically unbuttoning his shirt. His point duly made, West’s character, Morgan Henderson, quickly stops the stript

    Netflix’s 'A Different World' Revival Has Less Spark But Loads of Heart (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Hillman College might be the most vividly realized institution of higher learning that never cashed an actual tuition check. The fictional historically Black college at the heart of A Different World, the generation-defining NBC sitcom that ran for six seasons beginning in 1987, has school colors (maroon and white) and a Latin motto (“Deus nondum te confecit,” or “God is not done with you yet”). It has sports teams, Greek organizations, homecoming traditions. The campus is constantly abuzz, with

    'Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story' Has Nothing New to Say About Female Rage (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    This article discusses the full season of Netflix’s Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story is about female rage and repression. That isn’t my personal interpretation of the latest installment of Ian Brennan and Ryan Murphy’s Netflix true-crime anthology. It’s the talking point that the show’s makers have been leading with, in publicity materials and in multiple interviews. These are fine themes for the first season of Monster with a female subject, even if they’re not

    In the Hilarious 'Youth,' Sharon Horgan Nails the Precarity of Middle Age (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    There are plenty of shows that could have been titled Youth. Most have casts in their teens and 20s. One of these is called Adults, the joke being that its postcollegiate characters are more like children—playful at best, feckless at worst. HBO’s Youth, a comedy premiering Sept. 20 about a divorced 50-year-old sandwiched between her college-aged son and declining parents, sounds like it might be similarly ironic. It isn’t, really. As in everything its creator and star, Catastrophe and Bad Sister
