Jonathan May Please stop reading if you haven’t watched the show in its entirety. Say this to yourself: “I’m going to die. So is everyone I love and hate.” Now—stop, breathe, and keep watching. This is the main way I was able to make it through all five seasons of one of the finest series […]
Every week we ask everyone who hangs out around here to answer a tough question. This week: What’s the stupidest trend so far for 2014? Rules are simple: what really bothers you about the year?
