An exploration of performance and representation by the ‘Jerrod Carmichael Reality Show’

Julia Williams March 25, 2025
In its best moments, watching the show is  like talking with a stranger who’s surprisingly honest and forthcoming.

‘The Sopranos’: Dressed to kill

Laura Tickey April 3, 2024
HBO’s “The Sopranos” — arguably the best show of all time — tells the story of a mob family in North Jersey. Its content ranges from family dinners, men getting “whacked,” women gossiping, sex, drug deals and probably whatever other sleazy thing you can think of. Considering the show’s content, you may not think of “The Sopranos” as a point of interest for fashion inspiration. However, its premiere in 1999 proved that mobsters could indeed become style icons.

Editors September 15, 2022
The award show, which celebrates the best of American Primetime Television, witnessed the lowest viewership in its 74 year run.
