In season 2, Coop is challenged by Ash, a charming Gatsby-type figure who may also be a weapons trafficker, forcing Coop to question his moral limits.

Auburn carefully calibrates the funny with the sad, balances credible realism with fugues of understated poetry. It was once described to me as a perfect play, in the formal sense, a template from which any budding playwright could draw inspiration.

Santos and Mel's duet of Alanis Morissette's 'You Oughta Know' strikes the right chord, imploring they let their hair down and vent their ineffable frustrations into the mics.

Margo's love for her son Bodhi is palpable, with Elle Fanning portraying her emotional journey as she navigates financial struggles and personal challenges.

Krakowski was almost the photo-negative of Calista Flockhart's title character: brassy, eccentric, unconcerned by others' opinions. Similarly, her character in 30 Rock, Jenna Maroney, acted as the bookend to Tina Fey's Liz Lemon, Krakowski untouched by self-awareness, Fey beset by it.

In a rare scene of pure, wholesome heroics that tie the entire season together, he bolts in and grabs the pen out of Doug Sr.'s hand. With full sincerity in his words, he tells his boss that he's interrupting the meeting because he's 'looking out for the people that have looked out for me.'

"That's just how I was raised. I feel like Northwood, the basketball gym felt like my home since I'm there so much, before, during and after school... I just wanted to help out. That was really it."

'In a way, it feels a little bit like it was all a dream-just like it must have felt for Marnie,' Williams reflects on the filming of the episode, emphasizing the surreal quality of Marnie's journey.

During a private tasting dinner, a game prompts guests to confess their worst actions, revealing hidden insecurities and creating tension between Charlie and Emma.

Ditto's appearance as a protagonist of one of the best games of 2026 would likely never have happened had it not been for one episode of the original anime.

As a piece of filmmaking, Sidney Lumet's affectingly tender true-crime classic is everything it wants to be: a wry, tragicomic character study, a sweaty slice of New York life during the Nixon years, an astute yet subtle political commentary.

Teri needed to be nothing less than a Penelope to Xavier's Odysseus, the sort of character the show's hero would do anything to see again.

At first, I think in the early drafts of Heated Rivalry, Ilya was much more of a jerk. I think he was much meaner. The things he said to Shane were more, I don't know, just meaner. And I think he was maybe more of a stereotypical bad boy, I guess. And then I softened him a bit as I went back and wrote more.

Valerie Cherish's journey through the television industry illustrates the seismic shifts from traditional sitcoms to reality TV, capturing the anxieties of Hollywood in the early 2000s.

No offence to the actor but the way he played that part was a cartoon. He was two-dimensional. And the thing that bothered me most... we were so afraid to create a gay character on a kid's television show.

Officer Scott was sort of born by accident. He was a character in a sketch I wrote, written for a male actor, but I always would direct to give more Chris Farley energy to the character. Unfortunately, the actor that was supposed to play Officer Scott became sick the day before the show, but as showrunner and writer of the sketch, I figured I'd buy a costume and perform Scott myself.

Whenever Steve Carell isn't on screen, my brain is just incessantly asking when he's coming back. I'm sure the ensemble characters will eventually be captivating in their own right, but as for now, I just want him on my screen at all times. There's a reason that the coveted Ludlow weathervane has a rooster on it, am I right?

The panic attack was a surprise to me. But then I was like, 'Why would we ever know a panic attack is coming?' I leaned into the unexpectedness of it. I have had my own experience with it in the past, and I was having, weirdly, imposter syndrome about my panic attack. Did I even really experience it? I was looking up symptoms, and I was like, Oh no, I did.
