“This [TV show] is dedicated to touching.” While not technically canon, this (modified) epigraph of sorts from the beginning of Harry Styles’ “Watermelon Sugar” music video is a fairly accurate, albeit surface-level, summation up one of the most oft-discussed television series from the world’s spring quarantine period: Hulu’s “Normal People.” An adaptation of the 2018

With the state of moviegoing and the future of the Oscars in flux, the Trophy Hunter column will shift its attention to the next best thing: the Emmys. This year’s nominations — announced in July, with the show scheduled for September — were more genre-agnostic than in years past, as HBO’s gripping superhero drama “Watchmen”

At the end of AMC’s “Breaking Bad” in 2013, the show’s two main characters ended the series reaping what they sowed. Teacher-turned-kingpin Walter White died caressing equipment in a meth lab, while his former student Jesse Pinkman rode off into the night screaming and smiling after being freed from his neo-Nazi captors.

As HBO’s record and heart-breaking series “Game of Thrones” came to its regrettable conclusion this past May, I found myself looking for a show both to fill the hole its finale left in my heart and to make my HBO subscription worth it. So, as any good capitalist would, I decided to jump on the

If you want to understand what makes the second season of “Mindhunter” so undeniably eerie and effective, just watch the show’s opening credits.

Awards season: a time to celebrate a long list of celebrities as they step out of their black Escalades onto the red carpet or, in the case of the Emmys, the gold carpet. A time to judge them for outfits which, out of context, are somewhat bizarre and never practical. We do it because fashion,

In the season’s inaugural cast, Scene writers discuss Emmy quirks, flops and predictions — in anticipation of the 70th Primetime Emmys award show, which airs tonight at 8 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. Volume III: FALL 2018 by Scene, from The Observer

Expansive, empty mansions sprawl across the Southern California landscape, housing moody teenagers squabbling with their parents. An unspoken tragic backstory clouds the sight of our six main characters. We see them shuffle through meaningless high school days, far from each other and the happiness they once shared. Can they mend bonds broken, or will they

Adam Ramos Jon Stewart ended his iconic tenure on “The Daily Show” this past month, after a memorable 16 years, which is why it came as no surprise last night when “The Daily Show” took home the Emmy in all three of its nominations. While I have the upmost respect for “The Daily Show” and
