Succession is a hydra.  HBO’s award-winning drama, and the undisputed reigning best show on television, is like the patriarchal figure at its center—anytime you think you’ve got it beat, it grows two more heads. In its fourth and final (although only recently revealed to be so) season, Succession is full of unexpected thrills, constantly sprouting […]

The Weeknd has responded to Rolling Stone. The multi-hyphenate took to Instagram on Wednesday to share a clip of The Idol, his upcoming drama series for HBO. The teaser shows self-help guru Tedros (the Weeknd) and the titular character Jocelyn (Lily-Rose Depp) sitting poolside while speaking to Dan Levy’s character. The latter is pitching Jocelyn a possible photoshoot for Rolling Stone—an offer […]

“Left Behind,” the latest episode of HBO’s hit game-turned-show The Last of Us, detailed a blossoming relationship between Ellie (Bella Ramsey) and new character Riley Abel (Storm Reid). Several weeks ago the heartbreaking “Long, Long Time” delivered a love story between Murray Bartlett as Frank and Nick Offerman as Bill, drawing broad acclaim along with some negative remarks from homophobic viewers. Entertainment Weekly wrote that in […]

The upcoming fourth season of the award-winning HBO series Succession will be its last. The show’s creator and showrunner Jesse Armstrong confirmed its fate in an interview with The New Yorker. Armstrong said he spoke with a few members of the Succession writers’ room prior to working on the scripts for Season 4, asking how they should proceed with […]

The unfortunately long and presumably never-ending book comprised of frustrating examples of loudly espoused idiocy continued this week in response to the latest episode of HBO’s universally beloved, massively successful The Last of Us adaptation. As you’ve no doubt seen on your (inarguably Musk-ruined) timeline, Melanie Lynskey—who last year received an Emmy nomination for her role on […]

When HBO announced that they would be adapting The Last of Us—widely considered one of the greatest video games ever made—into a full-length television series—the reaction was excitement, followed by skepticism. The original game was already cinematic in its visual presentation and narrative scope. The gameplay was essential to its message, making the player complicit in […]

If you’re a fan of The Weeknd and missed his recent After Hours Til Dawn Tour, then you’re in luck. The Canadian singer and HBO Max have both announced the new concert special, The Weekend: Live at SoFi Stadium, which arrives on Feb. 25. It seems like the concert special is also a way for […]

HBO continues its relationship with Jerrod Carmichael. According to the Hollywood Reporter, the 35-year-old will star in a “comedy documentary series” that focuses on his personal life. Carmichael first teamed up with the network for his 2014 standup special Jerrod Carmichael: Love at the Store, followed by 8 (2017), his two-part video diary Home Videos and Sermon on the Mount (2019), and […]

The Last of Us, HBO’s latest hit series, was filmed entirely in Alberta, so Travel Alberta is compiling all the locations seen in the show in one handy guide for tourists looking to explore the province. The website claims the series is the largest film production ever completed in Alberta and explained that some of the […]

[Ed Note: MAJOR spoilers for The Last of Us’ third episode—“Long Long Time”—below.] I haven’t stopped thinking about Episode 3 of HBO’s The Last of Us since I watched it. Titled after the Linda Ronstadt song of the same name, “Long Long Time,” the installment is a radical departure from the ongoing journey of Joel […]
