What makes TV shows that don’t suck? Personal opinions… lots of them, usually. One person’s trash is another person’s treasure. These are my treasures. TV shows to help you get through a cold Michigan January. Personally, I am a fan of sci-fi, comedy, drama, and reality shows. These are all shows I have watched. I’m also including a couple that I want to check out based on Rotten Tomatoes ratings.
This show left me guessing right up until the end. It’s 6 episodes, but it felt like less because the show moved along so fast while still being suspenseful. Streaming on Netflix
Jimmy is back, and another 5 million dollars is up for grabs. Season 2 has brains against strength… sort of. The two also need to work together… and this season has a crossover element with Survivor. I loved season one, and I’m loving this season as well. Streaming on Amazon Prime Video
A gritty, darkly funny sci-fi drama set in a post-apocalyptic world. You don’t need to know the video game to get pulled in. This show is a beautiful, messed-up sci-fi dark comedy. The season gets a little slow in the middle, but hang in there… okey dokey? Streaming on Amazon Prime Video
The show follows the book series about a kid who finds out he’s the son of a mythology god. I love this show, and so does my son. There was a significant amount of time between season one and two (two years), which is standard on big production shows, but the kids are growing up! Sources say there will be a much shorter gap between seasons two and three. Streaming on Disney+
Sweet Dee (Kaitlin Olson) of It’s Always Sunny plays a brilliant mind hiding in plain sight. It’s clever, fast-paced, and built for viewers who like crime shows with personality and humor. This is an ABC show – Streaming on Hulu
Tim Allen and Kat Dennings form a workplace-meets-family comedy about change, second chances, and learning how to adapt. It’s a cute show! Tim Allen plays the curmudgeon father to Kat Dennings’ rebellious adult daughter when she and her two kids move in with him. The fridge in this show is the coolest fridge (pardon the pun) I have ever seen. This is an ABC show – Streaming on Hulu
Billy Bob Thornton is a landman with decades in the business, and it’s a risky job. John Hamm and Demi Moore are a part of this show, too. It’s a power-packed cast with juicy characters and some strong plot twists. Streaming on Paramount+
I’m three episodes in on season one, and I’m digging this show too. The second season is airing now. The first season follows the night manager at a hotel (Tom Hiddleston) as he finds himself in the role of an undercover agent. Season one aired on the BBC back in 2016… the new season (and the first season) are streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
Rotten Tomatoes Picks
I haven’t seen these shows yet, but they have super high ratings.
The Pitt has a 97% rating. It’s an E.R. drama set in Pittsburgh.
Ponies has a 95% rating. Set in the ’70s in Moscow, it follows two Ponies (person of no interest) working at the American Embassy.
Star Trek: Starfleet Academy has an 85% rating. The series focuses on a young bunch of Starfleet cadets pursuing their dreams.
Donielle Flynn has two kids, two cats, two dogs, and a love of all things rock. She’s been in radio decades and held down top-rated day parts at Detroit, Philadelphia, and Washington DC radio stations throughout her tenure. She enjoys writing about rock news, the Detroit community, and she has a series called “The Story Behind” where she researches the history of classic rock songs.
Last season, Lucy falsely claims she was a victim of sexual assault in order to protect what actually happened to her best friend Pippa. What was important to you in advancing that controversial storyline for the third season?
The main thing that I wanted to be very careful about was Lucy’s intention behind it all, and continuing to remind the audience that she did not do this for attention. She didn’t do it for any malicious reason. She didn’t even do it just to get Chris in trouble. She did it to protect her friend. And it was a dumb thing to do, but it came from a good place. I really wanted to be careful that we weren’t making any kind of statement that girls lie [about sexual assault] because I don’t think that girls really do usually lie about this, but this is such a unique and specific situation. And making sure that Lucy continued to reject any public sympathy or public attention, so that it never got misconstrued with her liking it or seeking it.
Lucy’s decision regarding Pippa’s assault last season upset fans and divided the writers’ room. How much of her season two journey was informed by those intense reactions?
It continued to be a divisive storyline in the room. I love our audience so much, but I do feel a bit hurt on Lucy’s behalf at how hard they are on her. They have asked for a lot of punishment for her, which I don’t think she deserves. Audiences are just harder on female characters. That has become very obvious to me while writing the show. So I was posing a question to them with this season: are you happy now? It was about getting her to a place where she was a caged animal. There can’t be too much time to think of other escape routes for her. It has to be right then and there. He’s going to call Bree right then. Otherwise, it falls apart.
The audience might think they know what they want, but it’s not always what’s best for the storytelling. But people send me all the memes, all the reaction videos, and I fucking love those. There are moments when you’re in the trenches, so stressed, and then you get the funniest TikTok video ever about a reaction. It gives you a bit of bounce in your step.
The Bree and Evan romance is beloved among Tell Me Lies fans, but this season you introduce a budding flirtation between Bree and Wrigley. When did you decide to explore their dynamic?
It was always on the table. It just became very clear by season three that these are the two purest people on the show. And I thought that those two really deserved that pure thing. Once we decided for sure that that was where the season was going to fully go, it happened so organically and their chemistry is just amazing. Also, last season, my God, we put Bree through the ringer. And we’ve always put Wrigley through the ringer, so they both needed some joy.
As it officially returns for its third season, Hulu has surprised subscribers with a three-episode premiere of its popular drama series from executive producer Emma Roberts.
Per THR, instead of just debuting Tell Me Lies Season 3’s first two episodes, the streamer has also released the latest installment’s third episode, titled “Repent,” today. This comes more than a year after Season 2 concluded its 8-episode run on Hulu.
What do we know about Hulu’s Tell Me Lies Season 3?
“Season 3 follows Lucy Albright and Stephen DeMarco as they rekindle their tumultuous romance in time for the spring semester at Baird College. While they promise things will be different this time, past indiscretions hinder their best intentions, and Lucy finds herself embroiled in a controversy she wants nothing to do with,” reads the show’s new synopsis. “Meanwhile, the disastrous repercussions from the previous year also force Lucy and Stephen’s friends to face their own destructive behaviors. As scandalous secrets fester around campus, vicious consequences threaten Lucy and everyone in her circle.”
Tell Me Lies is created and executive-produced by Meaghan Oppenheimer based on Carola Lovering’s 2018 novel of the same name. The show stars Grace Van Patten, Jackson White, Cat Missal, Spencer House, Sonia Mena, Branden Cook, Alicia Crowder, and Costa D’Angelo. Roberts is serving as an executive producer along with Karah Preiss and Matt Matruski under their Belletrist banner. Stephanie Noonan, Sam Schlaifer, Laura Lewis, and director Tyne Rafaeli are also executive producers, with Lovering set as a consulting producer. It is a production by 20th Television.
WARNING: SPOILER ALERT – MAJOR spoilers ahead for Tell Me Lies Season 3, Episodes 1-3.
And we’re back! Fans of Hulu’s Tell Me Lies rejoice. With Season 3’s debut, the streamer added a surprise third episode to the first drop Monday night at 9pm PT/ Tuesday midnight ET. And get ready, because this season is darker and more twisted than anything that’s come before.
This time around, the Chernobyl-level toxicity of Stephen DeMarco (Jackson White) and Lucy Albright (Grace Van Patten)’s relationship goes truly nuclear. “They start in a place of they’re trying to make it work with each other, but they’re both so damaged that all of their demons come out,” White told Deadline ahead of the season premiere. “I know Stephen doesn’t know how to not hurt somebody. That’s how he connects. It’s pretty dangerous. And Lucy’s just trying to keep it together.”
Van Patten added, “I think Lucy starts in a deep denial, but truly believes that things will be different this time and very quickly realizes that this is a vicious cycle for a reason, and that any good does not last longer than a second. From then on, they really are dealing with their separate emotions while still being connected by this one thing that’s being held over both of them, that creates this really active panic with them and the people around them for the whole season.”

Tell Me Lies is based on Carola Lovering’s novel of the same name in which Lucy’s relationship with the charming and dangerous Stephen devolves into a nightmare of secrets and manipulative recriminations. In Season 2, we saw Lucy try to break free of Stephen’s grip, with explosive results. Now, with the premiere of Season 3’s first three episodes, Deadline spoke to showrunner Meaghan Oppenheimer, Van Patten and White about what went down so far, whether Stephen actually loves Lucy for real, a derailing twist for Diana (Alicia Crowder) and what aspects of the story are drawn from real life.
They start in a place of they’re trying to make it work with each other, but they’re both so damaged that all of their demons come out.
Jackson White
First off, having seen all the episodes (which I won’t spoil here) I congratulated Oppenheimer on the finale, which I can promise is a doozy. “It was a lot of pressure,” Oppenheimer said, “but I do love the finale. I was just cackling while we were filming that scene. It was a very, very funny day.”
Digging into these first three episodes specifically, Stephen’s twisted manipulations of Lucy reach new levels. In Episode 1, “You F*cked it, Friend”, he already knows she slept with Evan (Branden Cook), Bree (Cat Missal)’s boyfriend, because Evan told him. But he wants to test Lucy to see if she’ll be honest. So, one night when they’re high, he asks her if she has any secrets. “Have you ever been attracted to any of my friends?” he prompts evilly. Lucy doesn’t tell, but of course, we know Stephen will make her pay.

Sure enough, by the time we reach Episode 3 “Repent”, he forces Lucy to record a confessional video in which she admits to lying about being sexually assaulted — something she did intending to protect Pippa (Sonia Mena) who was genuinely assaulted. And if she refuses to record it? Yep, he will tell Bree everything about her hookup with Evan. Stephen then squirrels away the confessional video for leverage. Are you still with me? This is some twisted television, so hold onto your hat.
How did Van Patten and White (who are in a real-life relationship) cope with shooting that deeply disturbing scene? White said, “There’s no process. It’s just trust. We have trust with each other and when we need to go to that place, you just kind of do it. And I think you just check in after, and you check in during, but I don’t know. How else can you do it? You can’t fake it. You have to go in there and you have to f–king go dark. I don’t even know how else to say it.”
I think, for me, playing Lucy this season, it was a lot more about punishing. Punishing herself, and her feeling like she needed the treatment from people that she felt she deserved.
Grace Van Patten
Van Patten added, “I look at it the same way as when you have to be really happy in a scene. It’s just another emotion that we have to portray as an actor. And yes, this is very intense and high stakes and totally makes you feel like when you’re done for the day, you totally feel drained. It’s a lot, but we’ve done it for three seasons, so the switch is quicker to turn on and off.”
As to how they shrug off the heaviness of scenes like this, Van Patten said, “It’s a deep, deep body scrub after we’re done. Shed the layer.”
“Yep, pumice stone. F–king get the dead skin off,” White said.

For Van Patten, Lucy’s downward spiral is particularly tragic this season. “She’s just losing it and losing hope and starting to really, I think, dislike herself without admitting it,” Van Patten said. “And I think, for me, playing Lucy this season, it was a lot more about punishing. Punishing herself, and her feeling like she needed the treatment from people that she felt she deserved, and starting to accept that, which was the sad part. She started to accept and desire bad treatment because she thinks that’s what she deserves, and that’s complicated and scary and heartbreaking.”
Interestingly, White said he believes Stephen truly loves Lucy, “in his way”. He explained, “People would disagree. But I don’t know what that is for him. He’s not like normal people. He’s not like you or me. Love can be really bad for him. Love is bad and it’s bloody and dangerous, but he has it. I know he has it.”
What would it take to end the toxic cycle for good?
“Someone’s got to go to jail,” White said.
“Restraining order, maybe?” added Van Patten. “I think it’s probably a matter of them not really being in each other’s lives, but then there’s no Tell Me Lies.”
Asked what Oppenheimer draws on when she’s weaving Stephen’s deeply-tangled web, it turns out truth is stranger than fiction. “Unfortunately, I would say I was drawing from a couple people that I’ve actually known in real life. I think knowing people that genuinely have narcissistic personality disorder and are sociopaths. I think there were a couple people that I was just really drawing from that I knew, and I’d seen how they operate, and I had seen the long-term consequences of people being close to those people. And so, I was drawing more from that than any book or film, but I was trying to make sure that it felt different than someone I’d seen on screen before. Not as just a regular guy because in a lot of ways, Stephen just is a regular college boy. He’s not some glamorous, schmoozy person. He’s just regular, very charming and obviously very attractive, but normal. And I think those are the people that are the most dangerous.”

Disney/Ian Watson
The beginning of Season 3 also sets up Stephen’s increasing interest in disrupting Lucy’s friendship with Bree. Oppenheimer explained, “His obsession over Lucy’s relationship with Bree is so nonsensical. It doesn’t make any sense, but he gets fixated. He needs her to choose Bree over him. I think that those kinds of people, I’ve seen that specific thing happen where they really isolate you and they turn your friends against you. And anyone that might have a different opinion of them, those are the people they target. And so, his fixation on Bree felt very pulled from real life for me specifically.”
And yet another person gets a surprise this season: Diana. In Episode 3, extra spoiler alert here, there she is, staring at a positive pregnancy test. Hmmm, who could be the father? Fortunately, she also has the distraction and comfort of a burgeoning closeness with Pippa (Sonia Mena) who has confessed that she thinks about Diana “all the time”.
Another twisted character that gets to revel in the darkness even further this season is Bree’s professor, Oliver (Tom Ellis). If his tawdry affair with Bree in Season 2 wasn’t enough, he’s doubling down this time with innocent new girl Amanda (new Season 3 cast addition Iris Apatow).

Disney/Ian Watson
In Episode 2 “We Can’t Help it if We Are a Problem” Evan finally confronts Oliver after finding out he was with Bree. “This is not OK. You were her f—king professor!” Evan yells. Oliver claims total innocence and even maneuvers Evan into keeping quiet by telling him, “It would be extremely disruptive to bring that kind of attention her way… and also, it’s really not attractive.” Evan is no dummy — “Go f—k yourself,” he says — but he knows he’s been backed into a corner.
Oppenheimer said she knew Oliver had to go even lower this season. “It was important with Tom’s character to really go a little bit darker and more f–ked up,” “because on the surface, Oliver, I always knew that he was such a bad guy, but it was funny, some people, even watching Season 2, forgave him for a lot of things because I think Tom is so charming and Tom is so… I’m biased (Ellis is Oppenheimer’s husband), but he’s so beautiful.”
I get a little bit brokenhearted by the way that good men can defend bad men. You see a lot of good guys who make so many excuses for their male friends.
Meaghan Oppenheimer
But post-Oliver it’s not all misery for Bree. She unexpectedly forms a close friendship with Wrigley (Spencer House). Wrigley is reeling from the overdose death of his brother Drew (Benjamin Wadsworth) in the Season 2 finale, while Bree is grappling with Oliver fallout and the reappearance of her past in the form of Alex (new cast member Costa D’Angelo) with whom she shared a foster group home as a kid.

Disney/Ian Watson
This season we’re seeing Wrigley’s softer side compared to the hard-drinking jock he could be before. “It wasn’t hard to find the beauty in Wrigley,” Oppenheimer said. “It always lived there. And also, I would say Spencer is such an unbelievable performer. I don’t think I knew when I first started doing this show just what depth that character would have, but Spencer just brings it so naturally. He has such an ease with vulnerability, and he has so much emotional intelligence that it just shines through with Wrigley.”
Sharp-eyed viewers also might notice that Wrigley is keeping his distance from Stephen somewhat in these early Season 3 episodes. Having been flattened by grief and guilt over his brother’s death, it seems he has a clearer viewpoint of Stephen’s machinations. “I get a little bit brokenhearted by the way that good men can defend bad men, especially when they’re in relationships,” Oppenheimer said. “You see a lot of good guys who make so many excuses for their male friends. And I think that’s just the way that the world is set up, but it breaks my heart. And so, I wanted to fight against that with Wrigley because he’s been doing that for a long time. But I think now that he’s gone through such trauma, he’s able to empathize with other people more, and be brought out of that, and start to question his own forgiveness of Stephen and the way that he turns a blind eye to Stephen.”
Wrigley (Spencer House) sees Stephen (Jackson White) in a new light.

Among the movies that will arrive on Hulu this month isRetribution, a high-octane Liam Neeson thriller that has garnered a dedicated fan base since its theatrical release. The constantly revolving doors of the Disney-owned streaming platform’s rich library are also set to welcome a plethora of other new titles this month, including multiple action classics, as well as iconic movies and TV shows from various genres.
Liam Neeson-led Retribution arrives on Hulu this month
Subscribers of Hulu will soon be able to stream 2023’s Retribution on their preferred devices.
As per ComicBook.com, the action thriller, directed by Nimród Antal and written by Chris Salmanpour, is officially coming to the shores of the said streaming service on January 21, 2026.
Featuring Liam Neeson in the lead, the action movie revolves around the misadventures of a financier and father of two, Matt Turner. One day, while driving with his children, he receives a threatening phone call from a mysterious person, who informs him that there is an active bomb in his car. As such, to ensure the survival of his kids, Turner decides to comply with the unknown assailant’s demands, all the while contemplating a way to get out of the scuffle.
Despite having a veteran actor like Liam Neeson in the lead, Retribution failed to impress both audiences and critics upon its release. The film could only gather a little over $18 million at the worldwide box office during its theatrical run, as per Box Office Mojo.
Moreover, the movie has recorded an underwhelming Tomatometer score of 30% on Rotten Tomatoes. Nevertheless, viewers seem to have enjoyed Retribution a bit more upon its digital premiere, as evidenced by a much more impressive PopcornMeter score of 67%. Thus, fans of the film can look forward to streaming it on Hulu soon.
Percy Jackson and the Olympians is back for Season 2! We’ve been counting down this day for so long, which means we’ve been planning our epic watch party for just as long, too. From ocean-themed cocktails to blue cake pops and Camp-Half blood shirts for our guests, our watch party is ready for all our honeybees to attend. But first, we need a solid playlist for the evening. Here are six songs we’re playing for the premiere of Percy Jackson and the Olympians.
Watch Percy Jackson and the Olympians on Hulu and Disney + with us!
Image Source: Courtesy of Disney+
1. ‘Immortals’ By Fall Out Boy
Any Fall Out Boy song will do for our hero, Percy Jackson. But we feel that ‘Immortals’ fits the bill quite nicely. Imagine Percy, Annabeth, and Grover running full speed with their swords and shields out to this song. Pretty epic, right? Greet your guests with this song, and they’ll know they will be in for a great night!
2. ‘Troubled Waters’ By Alex Warren
Something ocean-themed had to make our playlist. ‘Troubled Waters’ by Alex Warren hits the nail on the head for the tension that Season 2 is bringing us. Besides the fact that the waters are literally troubled throughout Percy Jackson and the Olympians, ‘Troubled Waters’ brings us that mix of fantasy and romance we need for this season, too.
3. ‘Doomsday’ By Lizzy McAlpine
We needed a slow, yet (beautifully) dreadful song to balance out all the heroic anthems on this playlist. Lizzy McAlpine‘s ‘doomsday’ seemed to fit perfectly. Yes, “doomsday is close at hand” for Percy and his friends, but beneath the surface lies a feeling of confidence and unyielding power that not even Hades himself can extinguish.
4. ‘Fire On Fire’ By Sam Smith
A battle between the Gods needs a little Sam Smith to back the action. ‘Fire On Fire’ is the ultimate battlefield anthem (can we safely assume that Percy would be a Sam Smith stan?). We can already imagine Percy shielding his sword hand-in-hand with Annabeth during the chorus, “Fire on fire would normally kill us, but this much desire, together, we’re winners.”
5. ‘Ribs’ By Lorde
One of the main themes in Percy Jackson and the Olympians is friendship. The most goated song about friendship? ‘Ribs’ by Lorde. Percy, Annabeth, and Grover are the only friends each other needs, and we get to see that friendship evolve throughout Season 2. They laugh until their “ribs get tough,” cry with each other, and fight to the death hand in hand.
6. ‘Partners In Crime’ By FINNEAS
Are they lovers or partners in crime? This addition is for all our Percabeth stans! No, we’d never forget about you. Annabeth and Percy make the best fighter and lover duo in any fantasy series, and especially in Season 2, so we had to give them a special spot on our watch party playlist. FINNEAS‘s ‘Partners in Crime’ encapsulates their relationship so well and is the perfect way to end our party.

The Great Christmas Light Fight: Season 13 Premiere
The Disney+ and Hulu (with ads) bundle is officially on sale for $5 per month for one year (for a total of $60) through December 1, giving new and returning subscribers a full year of both streaming platforms for less than the cost of a few movie tickets. The bundle includes Disney+ and Hulu’s basic plans with ads, so if you’ve been waiting for a sign to catch up on Only Murders in the Building or dive into the Star Wars universe, this is it.
Disney+ and Hulu make one of the most balanced streaming pairs available, blending family-friendly favorites with acclaimed originals and network TV staples. Disney+ brings a vast library of animated classics, blockbuster franchises and exclusive content from Marvel, Pixar, Star Wars and National Geographic. It’s the place to stream nearly every Star Wars film and series, plus the full Marvel Cinematic Universe lineup and Disney’s most recent theatrical releases.
Disney+
Instead of $13 per month for the ad-supported bundle, you’ll get it for $5 monthly for one year.
For families, it doubles as a reliable destination for animated favorites, from Encanto to Inside Out 2, and its kid-friendly interface makes it simple to hand over the remote without worrying about what’s queued next.
Hulu balances things out with a more adult-oriented lineup of current TV shows, next-day network episodes and a growing roster of award-winning originals. The platform hosts series like The Bear,The Handmaid’s Tale and Only Murders in the Building, alongside comedies, thrillers and documentaries that regularly feature in awards conversations. It’s also the home for next-day streaming of ABC and FX shows, making it especially useful if you’ve already cut the cable cord but still want to keep up with primetime TV.
The Duo Basic bundle ties these two services together under a single subscription, offering a simple way to expand your library without juggling multiple accounts. This tier includes ads on both platforms, but the trade-off is significant savings compared with paying for each service separately. For many households, that’s an acceptable compromise when it means access to such a wide range of content.
Both platforms also integrate smoothly across devices. Disney+ is available on nearly every smart TV and streaming stick and Hulu’s interface is built around customizable profiles, so everyone in the household can keep separate watch lists. The bundle login works seamlessly between the two, and since they’re both owned by Disney, it’s easy to switch from a Marvel marathon to a new episode of The Great or Abbott Elementary without leaving the ecosystem.
If you prefer a more premium experience, you can upgrade to the Duo Premium bundle for ad-free viewing, but the Basic plan remains the best value for most users. It’s an especially practical pick if you’re looking to consolidate your streaming subscriptions without losing access to major franchises or hit series.
If you’re still comparing options or thinking about how to simplify your lineup, our guide to the best streaming services outlines how Disney+, Hulu and others stack up. But for those already invested in Disney’s worlds or Hulu’s critically acclaimed originals, this annual Duo Basic deal offers one of the easiest and most affordable ways to keep it all in one place.
Apple TV+ — 6 months for $36: Apple TV+ is offering six months of access for only $36 for Black Friday, which comes out to a discounted price of $6 per month for the six-month period. The deal is live now for new and eligible returning subscribers and runs through December 1, giving you a chance to stream shows like Silo, The Morning Show and For All Mankind for less. The biggest caveat to the deal is that you must subscribe directly through Apple and not through a third-party service.
HBO Max — one year for $36: HBO Max’s Black Friday deal gives subscribers one year streaming for $36 through December 1. This Black Friday streaming deal is on the ad-supported option, which normally goes for $11 per month. With this discount, you’re getting it for $3 per month for one year. You can sign up via HBO Max’s website or, if you’re a Prime Video subscriber already, via that service as an add-on.
Paramount+ — two months of Essential or Premium for $6: This Black Friday deal brings the monthly price of either Paramount+ tier down to just $6 for two months, or $3 per month. The obvious better deal is on the Premium plan, which typically costs $13 per month.
Sling TV Orange — day pass for only $1: Sling TV launched Day Passes earlier this year, giving users one-day access to a variety of its packages. This deal cuts $4 off the normal price of a day pass for Sling Orange. With that, you get unlimited access for 24 hours to Orange’s more than 30 channels that includes ESPN, CNN, TBS and others.
I love locking in a cheap subscription deal during a discount period like Black Friday or Cyber Monday. It always feels like I’ve gotten away with something — for the rest of the year, I can relax in my Scrooge McDuck money pit while all the other losers are paying full price. Just as one example: Black Friday streaming deals on Disney and Hulu are cheaper than ever right now, so take advantage as soon as you can.
On this list, we’ve gathered the top sales of all kinds of subscriptions. We’ve got some of the best VPNs to keep you anonymous online, MasterClass deals to continue your education with thrilling celebrity-led courses, and streaming deals for TV marathons on those long winter nights. Grab your favorites and join me in the money pit (actual swimming not advised).
Best Black Friday subscription deals
MasterClass
MasterClass is one of our favorite gift subscriptions. If you often find yourself on the internet without knowing why, MasterClass has hundreds of celebrity-led courses to help you put that time to good use. Each one is split into bite-size videos so you can control how much you study at a time. Highlights right now include creative writing classes from Margaret Atwood, home cooking lessons from Alice Waters and a crash course in battlefield tactics from General Stanley McChrystal.
Quicken Simplifi (one year) for $36 (50 percent off): We named Quicken Simplifi the best budgeting app this year largely because it lives up to its name. This is the cleanest budgeting app on the market, with an interface designed to welcome newcomers and no key information more than a scroll away. It’s also cheap, especially with this Black Friday deal, and very good at detecting and categorizing your important transactions.
Monarch Money (one year) for $50 (50 percent off with code MONARCHVIP): Monarch Money, our other favorite budgeting app, is giving new users half off for Black Friday. It’s a little more complex than Quicken Simplifi, but it also gives you finer-grained control, including detailed reporting, balance sheets and instant graphs. The standout goals feature lets you establish savings and wealth baselines that feel amazing when you hit them.
Rosetta Stone Lifetime Unlimited subscription for $149 (60 percent off): Rosetta Stone was pioneering visual language courses back when software still came in boxes, and it’s still one of the best language learning apps. Today, its method works as well as ever, with patient learning based on pictures, terms and recordings. This deal gets you a full lifetime subscription with access to all 25 languages in the library.
Audible (three months) for $3 (80 percent off): For literally $1 per month, you can get access to Audible’s enormous library of published audiobooks, podcasts and Audible Originals (which can be anything from never-before-heard books to live performances). It’s only three months, after which you’ll have to cancel or renew at the regular price, but an audiobibliophile can cram a lot of listening into the 90 days after Black Friday.
Headspace (one year) for $35 (50 percent off): Out of all the meditation apps available, Headspace is our favorite. It doesn’t just help you relax and de-stress, but also teaches you to practice meditation as a skill, with sessions building on each other in organized courses. There’s a massive library of standalone guided meditations with all kinds of instructors, and it’s easy to search for the ones that work best for you. This deal gives you half off a full year.
Calm Premium (one year) for $40 (50 percent off): Once you’ve finished your Headspace meditation, head over to Calm for every other stress-relieving activity you can think of. This packed subscription gives you a huge library of relaxing content, from music and restful soundscapes to its popular “sleep stories” with celebrity narrators telling bedtime stories for children and adults alike. If you’ve ever wanted to be lulled to sleep by Harry Styles, Matthew McConaughey or Idris Elba, this app is for you.
LastPass Premium (one year) for $18 (50 percent off): LastPass is another great password manager. We briefly stopped recommending it after a couple of data breaches early last year, but it’s patched up its security and seems to be firing on all cylinders again. Whether it suits you better than 1Password will come down to personal preference, but LastPass’s deal is slightly better this year.
DeleteMe (all services) for 30 percent off with code BFCM30OFF25: DeleteMe scrubs your information from people search sites and other public-facing data brokers, dramatically reducing your online presence. It’s a time-saving and user-friendly automation of a process that can be a real hassle without it. Since using it monthly, we’ve noticed a sharp decrease in the amount of spam emails, texts and calls to our personal addresses.
Adobe Creative Cloud (one year) for $389 (50 percent off): Adobe Creative Cloud is half off for one year right now, coming out to $389 for one year when you pay upfront. (There’s a discounted $35 monthly rate as well, working out to $420 for the year.) Creative Cloud is Adobe’s most comprehensive design package, including InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, Premiere and over 20 other apps. Whip up a website with Dreamweaver, paint on a digital canvas with Fresco or edit photos in Lightroom. It’s a pretty steep cost for an individual, but puts a one-year subscription well within reach of a creative business.
Best Black Friday streaming deals
HBO Max
HBO Max’s streaming lineup needs no introduction — The Sopranos, Game of Thrones, Sex and the City, The White Lotus and The Last of Us are all in the Max mix, plus dozens more of the shows that helped conjure Peak TV. This deal comes with access to Warner Brothers film hits like Barbie and Dune, plus Discovery’s reality lineup. This one-year subscription is the version with ads, but the savings are massive enough to make that worthwhile.
Apple TV+ (6 months) for $36 ($42 off): Apple TV+ has another of the best Black Friday streaming deals this year, offering a six months of access for only $36, which comes out to only $6 per month. The deal is live now for new and returning subscribers. Through December 1, you’ve got a great chance to stream shows like Severance, The Morning Show and For All Mankind for less — just remember the deal only applies if you subscribe directly through Apple and not through a third-party service.
Disney+ and Hulu bundle with ads (one year) for $60 (61 percent off): Disney took its time announcing its Black Friday deal on the newly merging Disney+ and Hulu, but the wait was worth it. This steep discount saves you more than 60 percent over the regular monthly price. Just in time for family gatherings, you’ll have free access to Encanto and Moana 2 for the kids, The Bear and Only Murders in the Building for the adults, and Marvel and Star Wars adventures for everybody.
Paramount+ (2 months) for $6 ($20 off): Paramount+ is doing its Black Friday deal a little differently. Instead of a reasonably cheap long-term plan, you get an incredibly cheap short-term deal — two months for less than a Starbucks run costs these days. That’s more than enough time to binge Yellowjackets, Dexter: Resurrection or Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, along with weeks of NFL games through CBS Sports.
Fubo Pro (first month) for $55 (35 percent off): Fubo is the live TV service that helps sports lovers cut the cord. When you sign up, it asks you your favorite teams, then automatically records every game they play. Fubo Pro includes 249 channels, covering everything from your local NFL and NBA networks to real ESPN8 (The Ocho) content like PowerSports World. There are even plenty of non-sports channels, and with 10 allowed screens per subscription, your whole family can enjoy the selection at once.
Plex (lifetime pass) for $150 (40 percent off): Plex offers personal media servers you can use to organize your digital collection — imagine your own curated Netflix homepage that nothing ever vanishes from. It’s also a streaming platform in its own right, with movies and TV from all genres and eras. Plex did just raise its prices, so now’s your chance to get a lifetime pass for close to what it used to cost.
Walmart+ (one year) for $49 (50 percent off): No, Walmart hasn’t started its own streaming platform, but it would probably have some pretty great drama. What you do get with Walmart+ is free shipping on carts over $35, exclusive deals, drone delivery in some cities and more. And if you did come here for streaming, Walmart+ also comes with your choice of Peacock Premium of Paramount+ Essential (we recommend Peacock Premium because it’s more expensive on its own).
Fox One (two months) for $20 (50 percent off): Fox One is the newest streaming service on this list, launching just this August. It provides access to everything in the Fox catalog, including its sports and entertainment TV. Two months for $20 isn’t quite as good a deal as Paramount+ is giving out, but it may still be a bargain if you’re worried about losing Fox channels from your YouTube TV subscription.
Best VPN deals for Black Friday
Proton
Proton VPN is our pick for the best VPN — a secure, trustworthy app that doesn’t sacrifice features, speed or usability. Although its free plan does come with unlimited data, we recommend upgrading to get the full set of servers and features. With this deal, you’ll get servers in 117 countries; better yet, every one of those we’ve tested so far can unblock Netflix.
ExpressVPN Basic (15 months) for $52.39 (73 percent off): ExpressVPN may be the most user-friendly VPN for sale right now, with fast download speeds (only 7 percent losses in our last test), quick connections and apps designed to stay out of your way. It’s not the most feature-rich, but it excels at any bread-and-butter VPN task, staying leak-free and unblocking Netflix everywhere. You also get access to server locations in 105 countries.
Surfshark Starter (27 months) for $53.73 (87 percent off): According to the tests we ran for our latest review, Surfshark is the fastest VPN right now, with its download speeds, upload speeds and latencies all beating out competitors. It has more to offer beyond speed, too, as it’s able to constantly rotate your IP address and generate double VPN paths between any two servers you choose.
NordVPN Basic (27 months) for $80.73 (74 percent off): NordVPN got very positive marks in our last review, where we called out its fast internet speeds, wide network of server locations and selection of exclusive features. It comes with a range of dedicated servers for obfuscation, onion routing, torrenting and more. Plus, it’s one of the first VPNs getting a jump on post-quantum encryption.
CyberGhost VPN (28 months) for $56.84 (84 percent off): CyberGhost is always cheap — in fact, we named it the best budget VPN — but it’s never behaved like an economy option. Its Smart Rules automation controls are the deepest in the industry, and its server network reaches 100 countries. Speeds are also quite good, though connections occasionally take a moment to establish.
Private Internet Access VPN (40 months) for $79.20 (83 percent off): Although we weren’t wholly positive about Private Internet Access (PIA VPN) in our recent review, we can’t deny it’s a worthwhile choice for an affordable VPN. Although speeds can fluctuate, it comes with lots of desirable features on all platforms, like port forwarding (which makes torrents more stable) and two kinds of split tunneling.
The Disney+ and Hulu (with ads) bundle is officially on sale for $5 per month for one year (for a total of $60) through December 1, giving new and returning subscribers a full year of both streaming platforms for less than the cost of a few movie tickets.

Hulu’s new TV and movie releases for November 24-30, 2025, include the documentaries Chris Hemsworth: A Road Trip to Remember and Living Proof, as well as the movies The Ugly Stepsister and Bride Hard.
Chris Hemsworth: A Road Trip to Remember drops on Hulu on Monday, November 24, 2025 — the same day it drops on the sister platform Disney Plus. This documentary dives into the Thor star’s personal life and follows him and his father as they go on a road trip, spurred by the discovery of his father’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis. During their trip, documented in the form of a home movie, the family visits various locations that harbor deep meaning for them.
Next, Living Proof drops on Sunday, November 30, 2025. This documentary special, produced by Emmy-winning actress and activist Sheryl Lee Ralph, is set in Atlanta against the backdrop of one of the epicenters of the Southern HIV epidemic. The documentary revolves around LOTUS (Loving Ourselves Thru Unity and Strength) co-founders, Freda Jones and Kennedi Lowman, and honors the lived experiences of Black women with HIV.
Also dropping on Hulu this week are the films The Ugly Stepsister and Bride Hard.
The Ugly Stepsister is a horror comedy fantasy-drama film set in a fairy-tale kingdom. It follows the rivalry between Elvira and her more beautiful stepsister for the affections of the Prince.

HIV Unwrapped: Where Fashion Meets Science: Special Premiere
How many things does it take to make a trend again? Three? I’ve decided that for now, two is close enough, because I’m certain it’s happened more times and I just missed it. What I’m referring to is MomTok’s tendency to wear garments that are basically like “FUCK MEN” while also dating men and living their lives fully immersed in an oppressively patriarchal culture. Earlier this season, Layla wore an “I SUPPORT A MAN’S RIGHT TO SHUT THE FUCK UP” hat. And in this episode, Jessi sits in the car with her emotionally abusive husband while wearing a tank top covered with “BOYS LIE” patches and appliques. It feels like a “girls only, no boys allowed” sign on a bedroom door. Except these are grown women. So are these sartorial choices a safer way to express feelings without having to face the consequences of, I don’t know, telling a man to actually fuck off? Are they a baby step on the road to a more productive and life-enriching feminism? Or are these just brand deals and I’m reading too much into it?
Boys do lie, though, especially when they’re named Dakota. Jessi pledges to tell Taylor about Dakota sexting Taylor’s “almost family member” if he doesn’t do it himself. And so far, he has not. He and Taylor chill in bed, looking at all their Stagecoach pictures. She’s so glad they’re all getting along and even tells him she’ll always love him. You can already see exactly how this will be edited for an intro supercut for The Bachelorette.
I’m getting ahead of myself, though. It must be hard for the moms to keep all these timelines straight, especially with multiple seasons being filmed and aired in rapid succession. For instance, they just filmed the season-two reunion, where they could only talk about what happened months ago, but in “real time,” they’re living out a totally different mess in public and online, much of which could spoil season two — and this is all occurring toward the end of season three. It hurts my head!
After having to film with Nick Viall, Whitney and Conner take their kids to the park to blow off some steam. They talk about how shocked they were to see the receipts on display, specifically Demi’s messages to Marciano and her recorded conversation with Jen, where she provides Jen a detailed script and acting coaching. To me, that recording will always say more about Demi’s character and motivations than any other receipt we have seen as of yet. It’s so transparently manipulative! In light of all this new information, Whitney feels she needs to talk to Demi to better understand the whole situation.
But before that can happen, we must tease MomTok’s new “LGBTQ allies!” core brand tenet. Mayci is buying apples at the grocery store because Jacob says she eats too much Del Taco. In the middle of the produce aisle, they discuss Jacob’s gay cousin and how Mayci and Jacob aren’t like other Mormons. So MomTok will host a pride event to show they’re allies to the community, especially in light of Utah’s shitty House Bill 77.
In what feels like a slightly more authentic conversation, Jen meets up with DWTS pro, Ezra. Like Jen, he is also Hispanic, from Utah, and grew up Mormon. Unlike Jen, he is gay, and when his parents found this out, they pulled him out of dance. He eventually left Utah and the church, and stopped talking to his parents. Then later, his whole family left the church and now his mom has a pride tattoo. After telling this whole story, Ezra says to Jen, “God doesn’t give you something you can’t handle … wanna film a TikTok?” Impeccable stuff. Any underperforming MomTok members should be ready for an elimination vote at the next board meeting because Ezra is here and ready to PERFORM. He’s fun and raw and living out most, if not all, of the MomTok brand tenets. Who cares if he’s not a mom? Many of the best Real Housewives aren’t wives. Semantics!
Anyway, it’s time for Whitney to sit down with Demi to get to the bottom of what Demi really meant by “eggplant, water, clam” emojis, among other post-reunion pressing questions. Demi has answers for everything. Flirty texts? It’s how she talks to all her friends. Her pet name for Marciano? A “funny prank” her daughter made up. Marciano FaceTiming her daughter in the first place? An accident. Talking to Marciano if he’s her abuser? A trauma response and also a plan to prevent the sexual assault from “coming out.” Any other questions? Bret knows everything.
Whitney returns to the hotel after hearing Demi out and immediately reports everything to Conner, as it’s not adding up for her. He points out that Bret wanting to order DoorDash food to his wife’s abuser is “odd” (a very diplomatic way to put it!), then goes on to say if Whitney came home and reported she was assaulted, he’d do everything in his power to keep this person away from both her and their kids. Whitney ultimately thinks Demi is not being 100 percent honest with her, and also likely not being honest with herself. Conner ultimately wants to err on the side of believing the person who said they were inappropriately touched but the story isn’t adding up. If you’d have told me during season one that these two would have the most measured and mature response to really anything, I’d have done a hearty chortle. But my favorite part of being a reality television fan is being proven incorrect! People are complicated.
Back in Utah, the Swig sponsored beverages are flowing at the MomTok pride event. Taylor eats funeral potatoes while Jessi feels sick to her stomach knowing Dakota is there doing bumps of caviar and wooing his baby momma back. Everyone, including the podcast bozos who busted their way onto the guest list, is well behaved. Mayci pops over to Joseph (Jacob’s cousin) and is all like, “I [production] was JUST wondering: was it hard to come out to your family?” Mayci compares his coming out journey to her telling her parents she was pregnant out of wedlock while at BYU. Mikayla asks about any changes at BYU with the pride flag law as if BYU was flying pride flags in the first place. When Mayci and Jacob get home, they plant a pride flag in their yard because MomTok needs to use their platform for good and be more active allies for the LGBTQ community. Okay, so … y’all are going to be supporting progressive candidates and measures up and down the ballot from here on out, then, right? RIGHT?!
Earlier in the episode, Jace and Mikayla went to a couples therapy session. It’s the same therapist who tried to refer Mikayla to a sex therapist, so I assume it’s an interim situation. They rehashed their struggles around vulnerability and disparate sex drives. Jace was concerned Mikayla wouldn’t have the motivation to work through this stuff, but the therapist reminded them that building a better relationship as an example for their kids could be a powerful motivator. This seems to work. While discussing their birth plan, Mikayla tells Jace for the first time that her abuse started even earlier than at 15 — that there were other instances when she was six, but she felt like she had to protect her abuser. Jace’s heart hurts so bad (same!) and he says his job is to create the first safe space for her. If Jace ends up taking an evil (or even just classic shitty man on this show) turn, so help me god.
Speaking of classic shitty men on this show, Taylor learns about Dakota’s discretions. Her therapist told her she was going to get news of something really hard. Is this normal? I’ve never had a therapist who also acts as an oracle. The therapist tried to get Taylor and Dakota to come in so he could tell her in a controlled setting. This did not happen because Taylor was about to leave for Los Angeles, so Dakota told her immediately about his dalliances with [basically-a-family-member]. I totally get Demi’s daughter’s name being censored out, but a friend of Liann’s mother, who is presumably a grown woman? Surely the TikTok detectives will figure it out soon enough.
Alas, it’s a mess and Taylor is mad she’s going to have to disassociate while filming Jimmy Kimmel. She had a glimmer of hope last week, and now she has nothing. But soon, she will have no less than five limousines full of suitors vying for her hand. And that’s to say nothing of the most important thing she has: SISTERHOOD.
Being Eddie — Did you know that Shalimar Seiuli, the trans hooker Eddie Murphy was caught with in 1998, died a year later, after falling five stories down the face of her apartment building? Don’t expect to hear that fun factoid in this official retrospective of the legendary comedian’s career. But maybe we’ll get to see “James Brown’s Celebrity Hot Tub Party” again. (Netflix)
A Merry Little Ex-Mas — On the cusp of their divorce, Alicia Silverstone and Oliver Hudson have plans to spend one final holiday together. But when his new girlfriend shows up, even that humble aspiration becomes a tall order. See, this is why it’s always better to make a clean break, like the Murdaughs did. (Netflix)
Premieres Thursday:
The Beast in Me — Afflicted by writer’s block since losing her son, an author (Claire Danes) gets interested in life again when a suspected murderer moves in next door. And why shouldn’t she? In the best-case scenario, she could get a whole new novel out of it. Especially if she can figure out how to outsource the adverbs to ChatGPT. (Netflix)

“I sometimes question, have I made any progress?” Taylor Frankie Paul, who in just three short years leapt from being the leader of #MomTok on Hulu’s The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives to the single lead of ABC’s The Bachelorette, asks Vanity Fair. “We’re humans, we make mistakes; and I feel like I do [make] a lot of different mistakes. That’s what life’s about—it’s trial and error. I’m learning different lessons now in this phase of my life.”
Paul’s latest chapter plays out on season three of the wildly popular Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, which reveals that while promoting the show’s second season this spring, Paul privately suffered personal betrayal involving on-again, off-again ex-boyfriend Dakota Mortensen, father of her one-year-old son, Ever True, and a close family friend. When I reach Paul, she’s in the backseat of a moving vehicle, being whisked from one mystery location to another for her turn on The Bachelorette. Paul can’t technically disclose that she’s not near home, but the palm trees peeking through the car’s back windows confirm: we’re not in Utah anymore.
Since 2022, when Paul, now 31, revealed she was divorcing husband Tate (father of Paul’s daughter Indy and son Ocean, who do not appear on Mormon Wives), after she engaged in “soft swinging” (some heavy petting and emotional affairs, but no “full-on” sex) within their married friend group, she has been filming her life at a near-continuous pace.
Before sending shockwaves through Utah’s #MomTok community, Paul already shared near-daily snippets of her more buttoned-up Mormon life with what eventually grew to 1.8 million Instagram and 5.8 million TikTok followers. When the first season of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives premiered last September, it launched the eight MomTokers, led by the headline-making Paul, to something approaching Housewives-level fame.
“Sorry if I sound like I’m losing my voice, we’re getting over a little cold,” Paul rasps. The “we” another reminder that as the single mother of three who blew up her life, then made a reality show about it, is far from an obvious pick for ABC’s increasingly staid reality dating series—but more on that adventure later.

The time has come to convene an emergency meeting of the MomTok board of directors. Never in the storied history of MomTok have the core brand values been this desecrated. Female empowerment is at an all-time low.
Brand-health alarms should have gone off when the first words of this season were spoken by Nick Viall and cranked even louder the first (or even the fourth) time Jordan used the word “emasculating.” Maybe if all MomTok members past and present united, they could have prevented the premiere’s main character from becoming the Cialis-induced, blackout-produced semen found in some barely famous bro’s underpants.
But MomTok has been running on a skeleton crew stretched to their limits, attending influencer events and feeding the algorithm. So here we are. But I have faith the ladies will turn it around as long as they don’t appoint Taylor’s mom as interim CMO. Faith is very important to the MomTok brand. It is also important to me, because I believe in the power and resiliency of Emmy-nominated reality-television franchises the same way people from Wisconsin believe in the Green Bay Packers.
After a glorious reveal of the updated intro theme — now with more horny fire! — we kick things off in Provo at Taylor’s house. Dakota swings by to pick up Ever because he’ll be watching him while Taylor attends a two-week therapy retreat. Hoping we get more details on this because I’m dying to know the amenities and practices on the menu. “Therapy retreat” could mean “repeatedly doing ayahuasca in the Peruvian Amazon,” or “checking into an inpatient drug and alcohol rehab,” or “sitting silently in a meditation center.” It could also mean “doing a lot of yoga and trauma-informed talk therapy with some nice scenery,” and this is most likely the case. Separately, what a joy to enter this season knowing Taylor and Dakota theoretically do not end up together. A brief respite for all involved!
On the other end of the spectrum, we have the Minky Couture influencer event. Minky Couture makes blankets, and we do not need to get into how blankets can be “couture” because I have learned that living in Utah requires a willingness to suspend disbelief. Mikayla and Mayci walk us through the state of MomTok. It’s bad. Taylor and Jen are both on a mental-health break. Miranda is TBD. Demi left MomTok during that ultimatum last season. Whitney left MomTok (again) because she didn’t get the Oscars tickets and scripted-series role she wanted during contract negotiations. If you think this means we will be free of Whitney and Demi this season, sorry! Remember: MomTok is always a clique, usually a brand, and never an accurate cast list.
Anyway, the remaining MomTok members, Layla and Jessi, have a rendezvous in the parking lot of the Minky Couture event. Layla is pressed to tell Jessi what she learned when the producers set up that little meet and greet with Marciano from Vanderpump Villa. Jessi comes clean immediately and lays out facts she will repeat on loop throughout this episode: (1) Jessi and Jordan have been struggling and separated in September; (2) Jessi was drinking in Los Angeles and kissed Marciano twice; (3) Jessi and Marciano had an emotional affair, texting for two weeks after; and (4) Jessi told Jordan everything right away, and they’ve worked through it.
Jessi freaks upon learning that Marciano told Layla they also had sex, which she insists is false. So, naturally, Layla calls him on speaker. He reports live from the gym that he remembers — and I think the exact quote is important here — “I took a Cialis … I had cum stains in my shorts, but okay, whatever you say.” Correlation does not imply causation, my guy! Marciano’s details feel like the equivalent of saying “I took a Dramamine … I didn’t throw up” to imply that one survived a particularly turbulent Disney cruise. Whether he’s lying or not, Jessi calls Jordan right away, and he says that if she brings the cameras home, he’s done with the show.
But those contracts are ironclad! The very next morning, the cameras are up and at ’em at the Ngatikaura household. Jessi and Jordan “discussed it more” and “agreed” to share this story (own the narrative). Jordan says he feels broken, asking himself if he can live with “lingering disrespect and emasculating feelings.” Jessi thinks it’ll be healing that Jordan can get comfort from his friends and family now that this is out, but she’s nervous to tell MomTok because it’s yet another scandal, and they’ve been trying to get away from all that. I, for one, think this is perfectly aligned with the true consumer perception of MomTok (scandal!), even if it does not match what appears in the MomTok brand guidelines.
Jordan invites Dakota over for some guy time since he’s the only one Jordan knows who’s dealt with this level of relationship struggle in public. Jordan says it’ll be hard to explain it to his oldest daughter and that it’s “super emasculating.” Dakota hugs Jordan and advises him to pray to a higher power of his choosing and focus on his family since everything else is outside of his control. I’m tempted to make a joke about these two bozos solving the male-loneliness crisis, but I find it genuinely endearing that Dakota is whipping out his recovery toolbox to help out a friend going through it.
Those feelings left my body immediately once Zac showed up on the screen. He and Jen are living in Arizona, focusing on their marriage and doing a lot of therapy. Fresh from a session, Jen explains how everyone knows about postpartum depression, but not prenatal depression, which was what she was experiencing last season. They’ll be driving back to Utah in a few weeks to have their new baby there. Jen is stressed because she has some tough conversations ahead, including making amends with Jessi for saying her husband has a small weiner. Oh, no, not more fuel for Jordan’s “emasculation” fire. I do not like where this could be heading.
Back in Utah, Jessi has Mayci and Mikayla over to detail the Marciano sitch. She gives her whole spiel and adds further information about how Marciano blacked out and fell asleep on her bed while she was up all night panicking about the consequences of her (presumably intercourse-free) actions. Even though Jessi reminds them that horny guys get pre-cum in their undies on the regular, especially while on drugs, Mayci and Mikayla are skeptical after leaving. They think something feels off. What feels off to me is Mayci making a joke about how “these things happen” when you drink alcohol, and how Jessi shouldn’t have left the church.
At Layla’s birthday dinner, the girls discover that a mole among their dwindling ranks has been sneaking information to Demi. Their tip-off was Bret doing drive-bys while Mayci and Mikayla were at Jessi’s, and Demi texting them right after to gossip. Jessi thinks Layla and Miranda are the two most likely suspects. Layla offers to show her phone logs as proof of her innocence. Miranda doesn’t even know what planet she’s on. Whatever Miranda’s reps negotiated contract-wise, good on them. She puts on cute little outfits, gets full glam done, smiles and nods, then collects her check.
Once the girls’ dinner transforms into Layla’s full birthday party, things escalate into madness. Harbinger of mess Liann is there because “she had a business event in the area.” Okay, sweetie! Jordan continues yapping about being emasculated and being less of a man for staying with his wife. Chase from the Halloween party shows up to stir the pot. His mere appearance causes a full meltdown for multiple attendees. Not a single soul in attendance is happy to see this man besides Layla. He has a podcast that I will not name here because I refuse to give straight-dude chatcasts free publicity. All you need to know is that he regularly drags MomTok and its members.
On one hand, if Layla wanted to bone this man’s brother, surely she could have set up a double date instead of inviting MomTok enemy No. 1 to this contractually obligated event. On the other hand (unless there was some wild producer manipulation), Mayci and Mikayla were given a heads-up at JZ Styles that he was on the guest list. We saw it earlier in the episode. On a third hand, a reminder that this birthday party is to celebrate Layla’s 24th birthday. Twenty-four!
Jessi tries to resolve the situation between Layla and Mayci/Mikayla, which is what pushes Jordan over the edge. Her getting involved in the drama “makes him feel like he has no value.” He cries in the snow as Dakota pulls up in his Tacoma to ferry him to safety. It’s all a textbook case of how the real villain of this show remains the Mormon church. You take repression and traditional gender roles and an obsession with purity and perception, then smash all of that into the algorithm economy, throw a Cialis into the mix, and we end up in places like this one.
And it appears we shall embark on many similar journeys this season. We’ve got more secrets! More toxic men! More discussion of the mole! Taylor promising to make someone’s life “a miserable fucking hell” yet again! But MomTok is sisterhood. So everything will be fine. And if it’s not, all the better for the content machine.
Kim Kardashian recently took to social media to respond to criticism of the legal drama All’s Fair in hilarious fashion.
What did Kim Kardashian say about the All’s Fair reviews?
In a recent post on Instagram, Kardashian shared a collage of photos to promote the ongoing show. In a caption, she told fans to tune in for the “most critically acclaimed show of the year,” and then proceeded to share a number of mixed reviews in a tongue-in-cheek manner.
While some of Kardashian’s photos were of her in the show, others contained screenshotted images of fans talking about the show. They ranged from positive to more sarcastic reviews of the show, which still praised it, including one that called the show “some of the worst acting I’ve ever seen,” but needing “14 seasons” of it nonetheless.
All’s Fair comes from creator Ryan Murphy, and follows the story of a successful divorce laywer and owner of an all-female law firm in Los Angeles. Alongside Kardashian, the show also features a star-studded cast, including Naomi Watts, Niecy Nash-Betts, Teyana Taylor, Matthew Noszka, Sarah Paulson, Glenn Close, Judith Light, Ed O’Neill, O-T Fagbenle, Armani Barrett, Jamarcus Kilgore, Joshua Suiter, and Hari Nef.
Despite its star-studded cast, the show has received fairly negative reviews upon its premiere. The series debuted to an almost 0% score on Rotten Tomatoes, and as of this writing has just a 5% critical score on the site, although the audience rating is high at 67%.
All’s Fair is available to stream now on Hulu, with three of its nine episodes having already aired.
Disney is rolling out its redesigned interface for Disney+ to more users in the US today. The redesign brings the streaming service in line with the loud, key art-forward approach of Netflix, and follows a price increase for both tiers of Disney+ that the company introduced in October.
The biggest change in the new Disney+ is the addition of a horizontal navigation bar with separate tabs for recommendations (For You), Disney+, Hulu and ESPN. Disney is leaning on a new algorithm that better uses your viewing history to make recommendations, and it now also integrates live TV streams via a dedicated tab in its vertical menu. Outside of the US, the new interface is also being paired with the rebranding of Disney’s Star streaming service to Hulu.
The new interface is the latest step in Disney’s plan to eventually completely fold Hulu into Disney+ in 2026. The Hulu has a dedicated tab in the app, but eventually it’ll just be one of the many sources of content Disney+ collects. Meanwhile, the live TV component of Hulu + Live TV will eventually be merged with Fubo, creating an even larger YouTube TV competitor that Disney will have 70 percent stake in. The growing competition between Google and Disney could be one of several reasons the companies have yet to settle the carriage dispute that’s currently blocked channels like ABC and ESPN on YouTube TV.
