If you haven’t heard of TNT’s newest summer drama, Claws, you need to get with it, baby. Claws is the latest must-see dark drama/comedy about five very different women who paint “hooves” in the very Floridian town of Manatee County.

#Bingeworthy: “Archer: Dreamland”
Season 8 of Archer begins where the previous season left off, with Sterling Archer floating face down in a swimming pool, his body riddled with bullets, in a scene reminiscent of the opening shot of the noir classic Sunset Boulevard. But unlike his Sunset counterpart, Archer is not dead, merely in a coma, during which…
#Bingeworthy: “Baskets” Season 2
Given how lazy, dense and cruel Chip Baskets, the out-of-work classically trained clown at the center of Baskets can be, it’s no wonder his life is so awful. What is surprising, though, is that it keeps getting worse. But, hey, it makes for good TV. Zach Galifianakis stars as both Chip and his twin brother…

#Bingeworthy: ‘Brockmire’ is Throwing Strikes
Picture a baseball announcer: you know, a white man in a loud plaid jacket, with an oddly nasal lilt belying a naturally deep voice, droning on with useless facts and statistics about whatever pops into his head, however tangentially it might connect to the game, punctuated by quick descriptions of whatever is happening on the…
REVIEW: ‘Silicon Valley’ Brings New Ventures in Season 4
After three years riddled with turmoil, failure, taste of success, bad decisions and hilarity, HBO’s Silicon Valley has set season four up to provide all the same. At the end of season three, PiedPiper was, once again, in a bit of a pickle with Richard’s (Thomas Middlesditch) algorithm failing to work quite the way he…
HBO’s ‘Veep’ Keeps it Real in Season 6
We are living in a moment where the truth, particularly the truth of American politics, is far stranger — and usually funnier — than fiction. The day’s headlines are routinely so shocking and bizarre that, if you tried to sell them to a Hollywood producer, you’d be laughed out of their office for being too…
