Freeform’s “sitcom” grown-ish aired the second of their two-part BLM-themed episodes on Thursday, and it was just as awful as the first, this time focusing on woke (whack?) terms such as “white fragility,” continuing to depict the police as brutal bullies out to hurt black people, and justifying and making light of looting, rioting and arson.

After scrapping the first four episodes in the wake of last summer's George Floyd protests, the NBC "sitcom" Brooklyn Nine-Nine's final season finally premiered with a new episode promoting Black Lives Matter. The entire episode implies that it is rare for cops to not be corrupt, racist villains and that most are secretly bad people. 

What’s a feminist lawyer to do when her back is up against the wall? Apparently, the answer is to dream about asking deceased Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg for advice. That is exactly what happened for the second week in a row in Paramount+’s (formerly CBS All-Access) The Good Fight.

Season two of Showtime's The L Word: Generation Q premiered on Sunday, August 8, and the new season found a way to make the show even worse than last season. It introduced a lesbian fiancée played by Rosie O'Donnell who bemoans the fact that women sometimes lose elections.

When we left off with the creepy and perverted new Gossip Girl reboot on HBO Max last week, we, unfortunately, had the displeasure of seeing a teacher, Rafa Caparros (Jason Gotay), give into having gay sex with his male student, Max (Thomas Doherty), something that was completely unjustifiable despite Max claiming to be “of age.” This Thursday, in the opening of the episode, “Hope…

Well, it was only a matter of time before an -ish series went there. “There” being a Black Lives Matter storyline on Freeform’s Grown-ish (a spinoff of the racist ABC show Black-ish) depicting cops as racist predators in a system that is “determined to destroy” innocent black people who have “targets on (their) backs.” There was also some racism towards white people…

Showtime's The Chi officially jumped the shark this season with their ridiculous defunding the police storyline that saw community protection groups step in instead. Even worse, in “Raisin in the Sun,” the August 1 season 4 finale, they laughably declared the experiment a success, saying, "The people of Chicago don't need policing. They need protection from the police." What's not…

We’re only four episodes into HBO Max’s Gossip Girl reboot and already we have witnessed the graphic sexualization of teenagers. Thanks to episode four, “Fire Walks With Z,” which became available to stream on Thursday, we can now add gay teacher giving into his lust for his male student and having sex with him.

It’s not easy being Diane Lockhart in Season Five of Paramount+’s The Good Fight. The liberal feminist lawyer, a name partner in a well-established black Chicago law firm, is conflicted because of major attacks of white liberal guilt. She is struggling with two questions – should she step aside as a white name partner of a historically black law firm and can her marriage to a…

In Sunday's episode of Paramount+’s Evil, aptly titled “C is for Cop,” it’s racist cops and white privilege that constitute this week’s evil entity.

Evil (formerly on CBS and now running on Paramount+), a series about a forensic psychologist teaming with a Catholic priest-in-training to investigate supernatural events, has targeted racism in the past, but their latest episode was about the evils of corporations and the need for unions.

As if the CW’s The Republic of Sarah isn’t melodramatic enough, the latest episodes of the new show have involved an affair Alexis Whitmore is having with AJ Johnson, despite being married to the town's former mayor. In the July 19 episode “A Show of Hands,” that affair caused an abortion.

Netflix's teen comedy Never Have I Ever dropped its second season on July 15. It brought us back into the world of high schooler Devi Vishwakumar (Maitreyi Ramakrishnan) and the struggles she faces not only as a typical teen trying to navigate boys, friendships, and school, but one doing so as a first-generation Indian American caught between cultures.

“Queer Disney history” was made on Friday when the absurdly titled High School Musical: The Musical: The Series debuted the kids entertainment giant’s first ever gay love song between two boys on Disney+.
