Particularly impressive categories this year include memoir/biography, horror — queer and trans horror writers are appropriately giving us their all these days — and comics.

Four More Shots Please wants to broach serious issues relating to gender and sexuality but puts in no work to actually address them in any kind of meaningful way and opts for superficial declarations of feminism, instead.

Nature is healing.

Fabiola’s story taps into a real dynamic in queer communities, but “Never Have I Ever” couldn’t bring itself to actually identify the problem for what it truly is: racism.

It sounds so dysfunctional and absurd that yes — I would indeed like to see it. I don’t come to the Housewives for tales of true love, I come to see the unexpected.

Not like you NEED a need backstory to enjoy Sara Ramirez strutting around in a suit. 

Carrie gets a new hip, Charlotte’s kid gets a new name, and Miranda gets some gay sex.

Work in Progress, Vigil, American Horror Story, Raising Kanan, NCIS: Hawai’i, Our Kind of People, Roswell New Mexico, Queen Sugar — and Merry Christmas from Niecy Nash!

Over the past couple weeks, I’ve watched forty features and the first two episodes of a TV show. Yes, forty. Consider this list a reference, a collection of short reviews for the rest of the year’s buzzed about films and films that should be buzzed about.

Teen Nat and Adult Nat recall the same nightmarish day; Shauna loses herself to fantasy; and vultures circle Taissa. Misty, meanwhile, drinks a chocolate martini.

“I never really wanted to move in there and be like, “Hey son,” you know? That’s my stepdad voice.”

Plus updates on the latest episode of American Horror Stories, The Republic of Sarah, the second season finale of Betty, and it’s Halloween on Motherland: Fort Salem.

With every passing year, every passing update, this is a list begging to break out of limitations.

This week on The L Word: Generation Q, Alice is forced to eat two buckets of popcorn, Shane releases an endangered bumblebee into the wild, Sophie does a solid Matthew McConaughey impression, Dani is rescued from a near-collision with a scooter by a handsome prince and so much more!

The third season Master of None eschews any clean, simple picture. When a happy love story about Black lesbians in love would have been easier, instead it holds up a mirror of what we don’t like to see.

Also! Updates on Bel-Air, Home Economics, Grey’s Anatomy, Legacies, and All American.

Autostraddle’s political news roundup is a new weekly series where we will watch the world burn down together and try, in our way, to put out one small fire. This is a space where Autostraddle writers will come together to discuss the latest current events and why we think they’re important. This week: impeachment proceedings, rights for trans kids in South Dakota, Pete Buttigieg and more!
