Supriya Ganesh's exit from The Pitt underscores TV's broader representation problem Supriya Ganesh's exit from The Pitt underscores TV's broader representation problem

wrote a little bit about THE PITT writing out Dr. Samira Mohan, the outcry around it, & the conversations we ~should~ be having more of about this whole situation:

Anyone who enjoyed the way Lena Dunham’s Famesick brings a new dimension to Girls should check out next month’s The Sane One by Anna Konkle, which will remind you how good PEN15 was and help you appreciate the series in a brand new light.

On the set of Dark Winds, a show looking back to shape the future of Indigenous stories On the set of Dark Winds, a show looking back to shape the future of Indigenous stories

So excited to report that I got to visit the New Mexico set of DARK WINDS (one of my favorite shows!) last summer.

It was a lot of fun to talk to and an eye-opening experience to watch the cast & crew bring this special, sensational AMC drama to life:

Paradise, Parables, and predicting the future On Octavia Butler and the second season of Hulu's apocalyptic sci-fi series

Paradise continues to be my favorite show on the air, and after binge-reading some Octavia Butler this year I feel even more jazzed on its delicious sci-fi structure. Wrote about it here: open.substack.com/pub/thedesko...

Beware the Ides of March, Timothée Chalamet Et tu, Club Chalamet?

I come to bury Timmy, not to praise him.
The online mob hath told you Timmy was ambitious:
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously hath Timmy answer’d it.

This made me so mad I had to write a pre-Oscars screed about F1, a toxic American fantasy funded by a collaboration of technocracy and autocracy: open.substack.com/pub/thedesko...

The draw of F1 being that it’s young, cool, stylish, and diverse & so this movie spends its entire runtime putting the young, cool, stylish, non-white star in his place

F1 the most poisonous propagandist enterprise I’ve seen in a minute… artistically bankrupt paid advertisement that doesn’t even function well as a paid advertisement

I have seen the pilot 7 or 8 times over the last 10 years and it only just now clicked that Keith Mars’ classic “who’s your daddy” line is foreshadowing😭😭 that’s crazy. I love good stories

It’s almost hard to believe that was the broadcast version!!!!!

I guess the version of the Veronica Mars pilot I’m most familiar with is the extended one but the version on Netflix feels like it starts so abruptly

Primer: The unwavering appeal of Shah Rukh Khan From pioneering a new type of romantic hero to experimenting with action, Bollywood staple Shah Rukh Khan has endured through it all.

went slightly long on Shah Rukh Khan in what is one of my favorite pieces i've gotten to write 🥰

I always think the Bridgeton costumes are cheap and tacky… and yet Jonathan Bailey is still styled better in his 15 min cameo this season than he was as Fiyero😭
