In our ongoing rewatch of Friday Night Lights, Mandy W. recaps “The Confession,” in which Riggins becoming the Dillon Athletic Department Go-fer is solid gold TV viewing.
In this week’s Stream It, Stephanie shared a review of the first two seasons of Kevin Can Fuck Himself, a very unique take on sitcoms.
In this week’s Book Reports:
- Brian reviewed Shane and Hannah Burcaw’s Interabled: True Stories About Love and Disability, a collection of stories about interabled couples, including that of the “wretchedly cute” Burcaws.
- Sarah can’t say enough good things about Marisha Pessl’s Darkly, a twisty mystery with an ending you’ll never see coming.
- And I reviewed Mackenzie Reed’s The Wilde Trials, another mystery about a boarding school tournament with dire consequences.
