David Lynch being in the #Emmys in memoriam broke something in me. He embodies so much of the medium’s potential that it’s almost impossible to think about him in the past tense.

If I were queen of the world I would institute a rule that you must decide whether or not to cancel a show BEFORE they film the season finale.
OR if you cancel a show after a cliffhanger finale you must allow the showrunner to write & release a summary of what was going to happen & what it meant.

The Pitt went into mass casualty mode this week with its best episode yet. I wrote about all the ways this great show celebrates the power of people who know what they're doing:

You might say 2024 was a bit of a disappointing year. But some of its best series were ABOUT disappointment in impressive, jarringly healthy ways.

Suggesting that people not valorize a murderer is not tone policing. And this is a column about how we talk about fixing social problems. And she does offer suggested solutions - did you read to the end of the column?
