HBO’s newest miniseries, Big Little Lies, just ended earlier this month, and it couldn't be more of a hot topic. The show, which is adapted from a novel by Liane Moriarty, explores a central thematic mystery: a murder at an
ostentatious fundraiser thrown by the Otter Bay Elementary School in Monterey,
California. The details of this murder are slowly unraveled as the main drama, in which three mothers are painted as prime suspects in the
murder. The mothers' lives are intertwined because their children all attend the same elite
elementary school. Their stories appear to be glazed with perfection, but as the series
progresses it becomes increasingly more evident that their lives are anything
but picture–perfect.

Since its premiere back in September, NBC’s This Is Us has become one of the most popular shows on television. The show generated a tremendous amount of hype—mostly from teary fans still trying to catch their breath. Branded as the tender yet crushing feel–everything dramedy that you need in your life right now, This Is Us has played on this expectation of heart–wrenching sorrow. You're supposed to cry your eyes out when you watch—and not only are you going to love doing so, but you’re going to finish every episode begging for another beating. As a general fan of any show that can breathe life into my cynical, cold heart, I willingly subscribed to the pandemonium. I didn’t expect to be so disappointed.

Atlanta is a comedy like nothing else on television. The FX series is the brainchild of Donald Glover, who merged his two career paths as a comedy writer and a hip–hop artist to produce one of the most original and evocative story lines in modern television. Glover plays “Earn,” a Princeton dropout who has moved back to his home turf to try to earn a living for himself, his ex–girlfriend and their child. When Earn learns that his cousin, Alfred, is an up–and–coming rapper under the name of Paper Boi (played by Brian Tyree Henry), he convinces his cousin to hire him as his manager, and the two attempt to turn his fame into something larger and far more lucrative.

The Philadelphia Film Society hosted its monthly showcase on Feb. 3, in an exhibition that highlighted new projects from Philly’s up–and–coming filmmakers. It was only fitting that the selected films for the February showcase be a tribute to Valentine’s Day. Each film centered on different realms of love—falling into them and falling out. I sat in a theater bathed in red and blue light, happily sipping on my complementary pilsner, and watched three short films, ranging from ten to thirty–five minutes each.

Westworld might sound like an ordinary amusement park, but it's the furthest thing from it. HBO has adapted Michael Crichton’s seventies thriller to create a new science–fiction series that's been wracking up rave reviews since its debut last October. The show has generated an enormous fan base, galvanized by ever–changing theories of the show's trajectory. Since the season wrapped up in December, Westworld has infiltrated Penn's campus, dominating conversations within the classroom and without. I hadn't heard of the show until I returned for the start of the semester. However, once I caught wind of it, there was no escaping the hype. I decided I had to experience the phenomenon myself.
