'Yellowstone' Shows the Power of Beth
Grade: B+ Just looking online at all of the merchandise related to Beth Dutton is amazing. There’re mugs, and t-shirts reading “Beth Dutton is my Spirit Animal.” She rules this episode. While some might call it white woman privilege, she begins the episode by showing some of her cleavage prepared to get away with speeding in her Bentley. Instead, she is met with a female officer who essentially gives her a warning and a kind word for Rip. She knows “what it takes to get the steak on her plate” and isn’t ashamed to let Beth know about it.

Double ‘Cross’ed. Content Warning.
Grade: D+ It’s empowering to see black men in commanding roles on screens large and small. There should be, though, a sense of merit without the DEI nonsense in the writer’s room. In watching Cross, there seems to be a disconnect between what a black man PhD psychologist detective Alex Cross (Aldis Hodge) on TV feels off-putting, inauthentic, and problematic.

‘Yellowstone’ Presents a Possible Murder Howdunnit
Rating: C+ In the first twelve minutes of the season five premiere, episode nine, part two of the series Yellowstone, the audience gets glimpses of a grisly scene. Blood on the walls and a pistol by a body become alarming. There’s no shot of the face which is intriguing enough because this show never shies from showing forceful acts and sexual situations. It appears as if John Dutton (Kevin Costner) has been unalived at his own hands. This prompts Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly) to join her brother Kacey Dutton (Luke Grimes) and venture into the scene which has been taped off by police and medical and law enforcement vehicles dot the area.

Fleabag
When Phoebe Waller-Bridge created Fleabag she created a devastating masterpiece. She created something that will send people into existential crisis’ for decades to come. She created perhaps the most emotional television event of all time. Fleabag is a beautiful and heartbreaking journey of human emotion. It's an incredible depiction of guilt, and growth. And most importantly it is perhaps some of the most relatable work that's ever been done in television.

The Big "I" Word
When my husband walks into a room, the TV goes on. If the TV isn't on he looks at you very suspect. He's peering at you with pure concern in his eyes, "What's wrong?". It took me a long time to get use to this. I remember one time he came in and I was lying on the couch in the dark. I still smile at his reaction. He said almost fearful, "Are you okay? What's going on? Why is the TV off? Why are you being weird?". I started laughing. I am the millennial in our relationship. Of all the weird things I could do in a day, this was not one I would have thought of as weird.
