5 Favorite Episodes: 2023

It’s time for my longest-standing End of Year tradition: highlighting my favorite episodes of the year.Film is an in-and-out trip, while TV stays in our lives for day-long bingethons, weeks, and years as seasons stretch on.

Law & Order's Biggest Lie

Law & Order has come under a decent amount of scrutiny for its pro-police propaganda, but we're still missing the big part of the puzzle. Police officers might be cruel and ruthless, but that's because the legal system assumes you're already guilty.You see, when a police officer harasses you or arrests you ...

2023: One Show For Every Kind of TV Viewer

I’m not a big fan of Top 10 Lists. Even when there’s this much TV, you end up with a lot of lists that look the same, and they all kind of assume a specific viewer. But there’s a fundamental problem with that task—not everybody watches TV for the same reasons.Some people watch TV to be transported, some want co...

January Update

Just another reason to hate Law & Order.I took a little time to res...

"Innocent Until Proven Guilty? Myth." — Conversation w/ Olayemi Olurin

I sat down to talk with movement lawyer and public defender Olayemi Olurin (@olurinatti) about the biggest misconceptions that media consumers have about the legal system.We talked about Supreme Court cases that have whittled away rights, how judges and prosecutors are on the same team, and how the legal process is par...

The Anti-Copaganda of Veronica Mars

Veronica Mars is a show that has no patience for the terrible cops that patrol its episodes. It's also very nuanced in the ways it approaches the law as a social construct. Where does the show get this perspective and could it be a template for creating a cop show that is not copaganda?Hey everyone, the next episod...

Why Black Mirror Had to Change

At this point, Black Mirror is a show that needs no introduction. But this year, the 6th installment of episodes were released, and well, it’s impossible to ignore how different the series feels now.It's more focused on the past, and some episodes don't contain any dark tech at all.While this feels like a rad...

I've been working on a video about Black Mirror (it'll be out next week) and when I reached the episode USS Callister in season 4, I was struck by the juxtaposition of a sci-fi show that is often hopeful and idealistic (Star Trek) and one that is so often dark and bleak (Black Mirror)So I decided to call the bi...
