With only two remaining episodes, the financial conspiracy of Devils will soon be fully revealed. In the meantime, the show continues to blame investment bankers for ruining ordinary people and causing suffering and death. The latest episode also portrayed the 2011 Italian debt crisis as the fault of corruption and trickery by banks, rather than bad governance, overspending and other…

Once again, we’re back to discussing everyone’s least favorite TV topic: racial justice. This time, Amazon Prime offers its take on the subject through Steve McQueen's (12 Years a Slave) anthology series Small Axe. Although the first episode in the anthology, Mangrove, is based on a real event in 1970 in London, it didn’t take long for people to pretend it relates to…

These days a thriller about a global financial conspiracy is practically guaranteed to be permeated by liberal, anti-capitalist attitudes. Devils on The CW is no exception.

With the election just days away, Freeform’s Kal Penn Approves This Message election series finally came to an end. After weeks of tackling “non-partisan” issues like environmental racism, Medicare for All, and why Hillary Clinton is so polarizing, we closed things off with the bold declaration that the Second Amendment “doesn’t apply to black people.” This kind of rhetoric is…

Col. Muammar Gaddafi was a brutal dictator, but on The CW show Devils his history is reinvented. It suggests he may not have been the one deciding to commit mass murder, and that bankers were calling the shots instead.

The third episode of Devils mirrors reality by showing news reports of a mass grave in Tripoli…

Freeform’s Kal Penn Approves This Message has only two weeks until the election, so the limited series now has to work overtime if it wants to sway any voters. To do that, the latest episode shifts radically to the left to the topic of climate change. And the show still believes it’s acting “nonpartisan.”

AMC’s newest science-fiction series Soulmates is an anthology following a world in which a test has been developed to find one's “soulmate.” Considering this is the network that brought us Preacher, the series also aims to bring out the worst parts of these “soulmate” relationships. Case in point, the third episode introduces the idea that it’s “kind of crazy” to stay with…

HBO Max’s A West Wing Special to Benefit When We All Vote, much like the original show, goes above and beyond to shill liberal politics under the veil of promoting non-partisan get out the vote efforts.

Last week, Freeform’s Kal Penn Approves This Message made the rare decision to invite an actual conservative on to discuss political issues. From there, I was hoping for the show to actually keep its word on being a “non-partisan” election series. Unfortunately, all that ended with its latest effort to shill for Medicare For All.

Amazon Prime’s The Boys aired its season finale on October 9, and some people were not happy. Not because the show is over, mind you, since the series was already renewed for a third season, but because it dared to show that liberal politicians could be evil. Looks like you can’t please everyone.

Hulu’s Monsterland is a bizarre show, and it's not just because Halloween is coming soon. It’s a depressing, hateful anthology series that seems to think humans are worse than any fictional monster. In this case, a wealthy CEO can be the literal vessel for an evil demon. Oh, and somehow Donald Trump is involved.

How can you possibly make a show as violent, vulgar, and godless as Amazon’s The Boys even worse? Just add politics! Yes, The Boys is only the latest in a long line of shows to remind us that the phrase “Make America Great Again” is somehow a sign of evil.

The craziness of Lovecraft Country is nothing compared to the insanity of the past week, but the HBO series is unfortunately back making waves anyway. More specifically, it’s back to making obvious yet ridiculous parallels between 1955 and today. The latest example comes courtesy of an apparent comparison of George Floyd to Emmett Till and an "I can't breathe" reference.

Just about the only thing that could make your blood boil more than the first presidential debate is one half-hour of Freeform’s Kal Penn Approves This Message. For those of you not in the know, this is the program that believes it can still be non-partisan after showcasing Bill Nye and Hillary Clinton. Somehow, I don’t think that will bring people together.
