The TV Thread redux (Part 1)

There is a lot of media attention on the long awaited return of Euphoria for S3. I’d never watched an episode so barely even knew who these people were who have been getting so much attention. I knew Zendaya and I knew Sidney Sweeney, but the latter only a social media culture wars totem not as an actor. So I gave it a go and I’ve been really surprised at how good it is.

Something else I recommend is Widow’s Bay., Matthew Rhys’ new one with Apple. Its very Stephen King coded but not in a way that feels like a rip off or a cheap copy. Rhys is the mayor of an island town in New England trying to drive more tourism to the island while ignoring all the stories about its troubled, spooky past that maybe explain why the residents have been content for the island to not get much attention. It’s only 3 episodes in but they have been absolutely brilliant.
