From the get-go, Ross says, The Pitt's writers "were very serious about not portraying a stereotypical situation" regarding autism. "That was in the original request that was posed to me," she says. Her advice eventually helped shape fan-favorite character Dr. Mel King (played by Taylor Dearden), a bright-eyed resident new to the ER in the show's first season.
Some things are out of our control. But what is in our control, is our ability to support one another. And ensure that we do not allow fear to keep us from experiencing something that could be truly special.
When I look back at the things I've done so far, I realized that the through line is characters that go through really transformative arcs. I wanted to make this person almost unrecognizable by the end of the show, because that's really what happens to him. He accesses this real rage that has been living in him his whole life but can now be channeled into something tangible and real and hopefully positive.
For all the nonsensical decision-making, misery porn, and period-inaccurate hair, I had really been enjoying Tell Me Lies. I just sort of expected that, after all of this, Lucy would have learned something, gotten somewhere with her life.

Monica (guest star Bridget Regan) has an immunity deal with the FBI. John (Fillion) and Bailey (Jenna Dewan) go along to kind of babysit Monica. Harper's (Mekia Cox) there. And we're having her set up a sting, like a super spy sting,
What does this new lease on life mean for Tommy Norris? After all, he still needs to deal with the offshore drilling lawsuit, the threats from Danny Morrell's (Andy Garcia) crooked financing, his son striking oil on six new wells, and Cami Miller's (Demi Moore) dissatisfaction with how Tommy's been running the company following her husband's (Jon Hamm) death. So, in episode 8, he's done with allowing all these problems to fester.
"We're thrilled to be making smut, and we want it to be titillating," he said. "But we also want to be making sure that we're pushing this relationship forward, because otherwise that gets boring."
But if you don't have time for the hundreds of four-hour-plus episodes, there's now an alternative: Prime Video's animated adaptations, which began with an adaptation of the first campaign, The Legend of Vox Machina, back in 2022. The latest series, The Mighty Nein, is the greatest Critical Role work yet, if only because it plays around with the familiar story to create something even better than what was at the table.
Allura is now going through a divorce of her own, and because of this, she's brought their old mentor, Dina, into the fold to represent her. As we all know, when you're going through a divorce, you have to call up all the best lawyers for consultations so they'll be "conflicted out" - meaning your ex can't hire them. Allura did this with all but one: her nemesis, Carrington Lane.
After a few seasons of mostly interpersonal drama, both in the spinoff series and the flagship, Mediterranean is delivering vintage mess: People clashing over their jobs. Part of Below Deck's allure is that the difficulties inherent to yachting are emphasized by the camera's presence and the need to perform a character.

I do think there's been some ignorance around people thinking that Buck is now a gay man, because since his coming out we've seen him with Tommy, and that's it. And not that he has to now go run off and be with a woman just to balance that out or anything. But there just needs to be conversations to help educate an audience. Not in a heavy way, not in a beating anybody over the head with it, but to delve deeper into it.
