A lot of people are wondering what the future of Russia is, and even asking me to pull out my crystal ball and prognosticate it a little bit. And I’ll admit that it is truly a great question. And it largely hinges on the answer to a different question: “Do Russians like being China’s bitch?”…

Ranking and Grading the Seasons of “Ozark”
If “Ozark” was ever a contender for the title of “Best Crime Drama on Television” then it long ago seceded that mantle to “Better Call Saul” (another crime drama finishing its run this year, albeit in a much higher quality). “Ozark” was as frustrating as it was excellent, often alternating between choice bits of drama…

TV Reviews: “Vikings: Valhalla” and “The Girl Before”
“Vikings: Valhalla”…As a long-suffering “fan” of the original “Vikings,” I kept watching all six seasons years after most people had given up. So I wasn’t totally thrilled to see Netflix revive the “Vikings” brand, and in a way where changes are so minimal, they’re practically non-existent.
