The Good Place…How many TV shows (network or otherwise, drama or comedy) actually get you to think about “Am I good person?” I would say out of the shows currently on TV, exactly one: “The Good Place.” Sure, not everything featured on Michael Shur’s bananas-comedy (the wildest network show since “Pushing Daisies” and “Arrested Development”…

This video is about Movie Pass, which Alabama Liberal claims has already saved him $1,000.
How Did Russia Hijack the Rightwing?

End the War on Happiness: Legalize Prostitution
It’s time to end The War on Happiness. AL makes the case that the way to really stimulate the economy AND end mass shootings is not to make guns illegal but prostitution legal. Take it from sleazy alleyways to a thriving boutique industry like marijuana.
22-Word “Paddington Bear 2” Review
Paddington Bear 2…I’ve stalled writing a full review because all that really needs to be said is “Go see it.” So…”Go see it!”
Movie Review: The Cloverfield Paradox–OR–Cloverfield 3
Despite some ingenious marketing techniques (teasing an April release in theaters before officially revealing Netflix had bought it to distribute about two hours after telling the world it would be available–in February), this is probably the worst film in the “Cloverfield” franchise and can’t hold a candle to “10 Cloverfield Lane,” the second and by…

TV Reviews: “The Alienist,” “The Assassination of Gianni Versace,” “Counterpart”
Three very different crime series are early into their seasons, but so far it’s become pretty clear which one is most worth watching… American Crime Story Season 2: The Assassination of Gianni Versace…In season one of “American Crime Story,” I resisted watching (at first) largely because I had no interest at all in rehasing the O.J.
