Just ended an interview saying “happy weekend” instead of “have a good weekend” is getting added to my growing list of awkward ways that I end these things.

Just want to clarify that in the Lit Hub piece that the New York Times links to, my premise was weird girl lit is a silly category, and also women have been writing this way forever www.nytimes.com/2026/10/02/b...

A recent LitHub article dug back to the 1970s and ’80s, citing Elaine Kraf’s “The Princess of 72nd Street” and Nettie Jones’s “Fish Tales.” Others on Reddit have recommended Dorothy Baker’s “Cassandra at the Wedding” (1962) and Sylvia Plath’s “The Bell Jar” (1963).

Besides being skeptical about the “weird” factor, some writers and readers are wary of singling out books by and for “girls.” Moshfegh, for example, pointed out that she’s not a girl, and has “never written a book about a girl.”

Others felt that the use of the word “girl” reflects a tendency to treat writing by women as a separate category from “literature” writ large.

I have so many questions about Ted Lasso being in the reader Top 10, and is this high placement due to when the first season was released (and ignoring the last two seasons)? www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Count me in on the Carrie train (there are a few things that don't work but not enough to squash my enthusiasm). Another show that is doing some fun things costume-wise, particularly Carrie's homemade garments (designs by Tammy Joe). Oh and Summer H. Howell is fantastic.

East of Eden is out now, and what an incredible adaptation by Zoe Kazan. I will have more to say, especially about the costumes by Kirsty Cameron. Watching the first two episodes on the big screen last week only made me wish I could've seen the rest of the season that way. What a feast!

I'm happy to see Netflix announce a November 5 premiere date for the second season of "Black Doves," a smartly written, wonderfully acted assassination thriller, but this is 100% yet another show that won't be able to recover the momentum after an endless, needless gap between seasons.

Falling asleep with the Bones crossover episode with Family Guy was confusing enough, but waking up to the dream world nightclub episode that followed made me feel like someone had slipped me some drugs. Yes, I had forgotten about this Booth brain tumor storyline.

Outlander: Blood of My Blood continues to be the most unabashedly romantic show on TV in Season 2, which throws up yet more obstacles for our favorite lovers to conquer and doubles down on yearning. My review for @ebertvoices.bsky.social:

rogerebert.com

In Its Second Season, “Outlander: Blood of My Blood” Is Still Peak Romance

It’s so satisfying to watch because love isn’t treated as a byproduct of a larger story. It is the story.

It is great to see TV shows like Widow's Bay, Sterling Point, and Furious that actually feel like they are embracing the medium they are made for. So, it is a real treat that I got to dig into how these shows are doing this for @lwlies.com lwlies.com/small-screen...

Resharing my conversation with Matthew Rhys pre-nominations about his work on Widow's Bay and The Beast in Me. We talked just before the Widow's Bay premiere and I don't think either of us had any idea of how this award season would pan out www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

latimes.com

Matthew Rhys promises he's not 'disturbing.' But his TV characters definitely are

Rhys showcases his range with two Emmy-contending roles this season, in Netflix's mystery-thriller 'The Beast in Me' and Apple TV's horror-comedy 'Widow's Bay.'

Sterling Point is less scary than Widow’s Bay, and far less fraught than Furious, but each of these shows is not pretending to be something they aren’t, and viewers are responding accordingly. Maybe we want TV to feel like TV after all, writes @frazbelina.bsky.social
