There are plenty of things that need ironing out, but I’m still open to seeing what else Mulaney has in store. But hopefully, if I decide to call in again, it won’t be a waste of the whole world’s time.
For those who are wondering what to watch next, there are several other gripping shows like “The White Lotus” that share the same theme of sharp wit, layered storytelling and striking visuals.
The season two finale of “Severance” was released on Apple TV+ March 20, and in the nature of the show, I wish I could forget a few aspects of the episode when I go to work.
In its best moments, watching the show is like talking with a stranger who’s surprisingly honest and forthcoming. The show’s refreshing projected skepticism and detachment from imposing convictions of honesty on its audiences are its best attributes and serve for a trust that is a rarity in today’s media.
As soon as the curtains pulled back and the set pieces rolled in, I was amazed by the level of detail that went into the set. The smoky cigarettes that nearly every performer totes around the stage add another layer of sensory detail that brings you physically into the world the show is recreating.
These things seem really simple, but they took a lot of effort. The cycle of self-hate is a vicious one, and I’ve realized that breaking away from it takes a lot of work.
“This is like some kind of miracle. A phenomenon,” shouted Deputy Gordon Cole, a “Twin Peaks” character played by the beloved David Lynch. And that’s what “Twin Peaks” was — some sort of phenomenon. It’s a show that proved TV could be a medium for artistic storytelling.
Dear readers,
I’m in love. I know, what a dramatic way to begin this article. But it’s true. This love has been with me for nearly my entire life. It is not a love defined by gender, nor is it a living being. What I’m madly in love with is live theater.
I love the original novel, which has been clear to me since I first read it, but much praise has been directed toward its intricate storyline and fascinating characters. Therefore, focusing on the factors largely controlled by the members of the BU Stage Troupe is the best course of action.
“Mr. Parent” is a one-man performance inspired by Maurice Emmanuel Parent’s years as a substitute teacher in Boston Public Schools, which ran from Oct. 10 to Oct. 22 at Boston Playwrights' Theater.
