Whoever wins Power of Veto on tonight’s live eviction show really decides who goes to the Final Three.
On Sundance’s excellent “Top of the Lake: China Girl,” which launched this weekend, there’s a central plotline about a mother (Elizabeth Moss) concerned about her underage teen daughter fucking a bearded foreigner twice her age.
On FX’s excellent “Better Things,” which launches Thursday night, there’s a central plotline about a mother (Pam Adlon) concerned about her underage teen daughter fucking a bearded foreigner twice her age.
Zeitgeist!
I’m in love with “Better Things,” which is often written and directed by Louis CK and often written and directed by Pam Adlon. And I like the kids in “Better Things” better than the kids in “Stranger Things.”
Premiering tonight:
Better Things (FX) Sept. 14
Bong Appetit (Viceland) Sept. 14
Thursday Night Football (NFLN) Sept. 14
Football eclipsed the double-eviction “Big Brother” and everything else airing last Thursday.
Thursdays, Aug. 10-Sept. 7, 2017
