MAY 2020 PREVIEW
Hello once again! Time continues to be very very weird! As always, we hope you’re hanging in there and finding meaningful ways to care for yourselves. And as always, we're excited to talk about the things that have been keeping us entertained, engaged, and often…quite thirsty.

RUN - As we mentioned in the April preview, we'll be enthusing about the show RUN, which is currently airing on HBO. The final episode of this fast-paced half-hour dramedy-thriller created by Fleabag director Vicky Jones airs May 24th so catch up now!! It stars Merritt Wever and Domhnall Gleeson, both of whom we have MANY feelings about, and be aware that the show has an incredibly horny energy. Prepare yourselves adequately.

Never Have I Ever - And now, a horny teens show! Created by Mindy Kaling and starring an absolutely delightful cast of youngsters (and a fully 30 year old man posing as a youngster), this Netflix half-hour* comedy about friendship, grief, cultural identity, and trying to find someone to get it on with warmed both of our hearts and will likely warm yours as well! [CW: heads up that in the first episode we learn that the main character’s father recently died very suddenly]
*given that both shows this month are half-hour programs, place your bets now on how much we will enthuse about half-hour TV as a form.

Talk to you soon! Or in awhile! Or in whatever form we experience time over the next two weeks!
