I've purposefully tried not to look into what Pluribus is about (which will be ruined as soon as I have to start prepping for some interviews), but I cannot WAIT for Vince's next joint.

Rhea Seehorn AND Y&R journeyman Peter Bergman as POTUS? What’s not to like.

LOVE. (And also a big supporter of bared torsos on romance covers, which I fear we've strayed too far away from!)

Despite commendable efforts from Jason Clarke and Patricia Arquette, Hulu's latest foray into ripped-from-the-headlines territory fails to add anything new to the conversation. My review of Murdaugh: Death in the Family:

'Murdaugh: Death in the Family' Review: Despite a Stacked Cast, Hulu's True Crime Limited Series Fails To Say Anything New

Murdaugh: Death in the Family, starring Jason Clarke and Patricia Arquette, relies too heavily on speculation to fill an overstretched limited series.

For The Conversation, @dramyburge.bsky.social and I wrote an obituary for the late, great Jilly Cooper.

Jilly Cooper: why readers still cherish her ‘fat, fun, frothy novels’

Many of Cooper’s depictions of sex are very funny. However, there is a clear message throughout.
