I think it very accurately reflects my perspective on the industry, in that I am incredibly frustrated with some aspects of it, but also overall very enamored by it.

Netflix's Adolescence has burst into public conversation since its release, applauded for its striking performances, brutal honesty, and unflinching portrayal of teenage angst.

What support do kids under constant scrutiny have? What role do adults play when digital cruelty and adolescent fragility intersect?

School term begins, parliament returns to session, new novels flood the market for awards season, and television and radio stations air their latest programmes. Among all the new starts, though, many people want to go back to basics. An episode of L'amour est dans le Pre (Love is in the Meadow) can do the job. The most popular dating show in France just premiered its 20th season, and 3.6 million fans (19% of the total TV audience) were glued to their sofas.

He declines to tell me how old he was then. See, he says, with a glint of that Paul cunning: That's gonna give my age away if I tell you. If I were to take a guess looking at him today, in Boxpark in Wembley, pin neat and ready for anything (he could nip to the shops or go clubbing) in a Lacoste polo shirt, leaping on and off high chairs as gracefully as a cat, I would say early 60s.

"Superkitties" is introducing some super new villains in season three and we're feline pretty good about it.

The Slaysian Diva, Joella, from season 17 of RuPaul's Drag Race showed up to the 2025 Emmy Awards dressed as a giant Labubu. Joella, the second out this season, was most notable on Drag Race for strutting an outfit down the runway that was just a giant mattress.

And when Jeff's name was announced as this year's winner, Bowen, Michael, and Colman all looked happier for Jeff than he did - with Jeff looking totally shocked. All three of the nominees' jaws dropped open with pure joy when Jeff won, with Bowen the first to leap out of his chair to applaud the victory. Michael was later shown emotionally holding his hands to his face, seemingly unable to control his excitement.
