‘A Different World’ is back with delightful new class (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“A Different World,” a multicamera comic collegiate soap opera spun off from “The Cosby Show,” has been updated and reborn as a single camera sequel a mere 39 years after the original series welcomed its freshman class and 33 after it packed them off into adulthood. It’s a different “A Different World,” times being what they are, but in many respects the same, set over a school year at the same fictional Hillman College, “the preeminent HBCU in the country.” As before, we begin with the arrival
In ‘Crew Girl,’ rowing and romance go hand in hand (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Out of all the YA series on all the streamers in all the world, why have I decided to write about “Crew Girl,” an eight-episode romantic sports soap opera, premiering this week on Netflix, set around a rowing team at a posh New England private school? It’s not that I care in particular for sports stories, and I blow hot and cold on teen lit, but aesthetically I like the look of sculls, or shells, and how they sit on and move over the water.

Read excerpt
If we are lucky enough to survive into our 20s, and have attained some degree of adult consciousness, we all will have lived a coming-of-age story. It’s a powerful, relatable basis for fiction or memoir or some combination of the two. Television likes a coming-of-age story, and has logged some great ones — “My So-Called Life,” “Never Have I Ever,” “Freaks and Geeks,” “Everybody Hates Chris” — along with … some other ones. A rich-kids drama with a side of serial murder set in 1981 Los Angeles, FX
Silly jokes in Will Ferrell’s ‘The Hawk’ par for the course (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“The Hawk,” a 10-episode series premiering this week on Netflix, is a golf comedy, a Will Ferrell comedy and, most to the point, a Will Ferrell golf comedy, following in the line of such sports-themed Ferrell films as “Blades of Glory,” “Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby” and “Semi-Pro,” and, at a stretch, “Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga.” It has the advantage of concerning a sport the actor loves and plays, making it feel affectionate and informed, even as it creates
Is ‘Legally Blonde’ prequel series any good? ‘Elle’ yeah (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Advertised as “from the world of ‘Legally Blonde,'” the new Prime Video series “Elle” revisits that film’s heroine, Elle Woods (Lexi Minetree), as a 16-year-old high school student, suddenly transported from Beverly Hills to Seattle after her plastic surgeon father (Tom Everett Scott) botches a nose job and has to lie low. Set in 1995, six years before the events of the first “Legally Blonde” film, with Seattle still living through the long tail of first-wave grunge — Kurt Cobain, Eddie Vedder a
