The hour of work can be real. The season is a machine. Not a formation.

The review

For several of these years this was the program the country actually sat down for. The sitting is a fact. A young person singing one song they prepared is a decent thing to witness, and a judge who talks about pitch is sometimes doing a teacher's job.

The season is a different object. It needs someone to pity and someone to cut, and it will arrange both. Do not let a child live inside the vote. One episode, then a real song in the kitchen, where nobody is eliminated.

Journal

Keep American Idol in the record.

Live Historic number 38. Yours can differ.

The glance

Household and Piety and Republic and Temperance and Truth and Stewardship are the thin ones.

Is a marriage, a parent, or a child a real life here, or just a prop?

This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.

Consider this

Gracie's Corner

58 instead of 38

Gracie's Corner is still a music show, and it scores 58 instead of 38. What you gain is household: Family is in the lyric.

The eight

6
Industry
A singer practices and walks out alone. That part is a true nerve.
3
Household
Families are in the audience as encouragement and as footage.
2
Piety
A blessing is a good-luck hug. The show is the altar.
5
Courage
They do the frightening thing in public.
3
Republic
A vote feels like a public. It is a product with a count.
4
Temperance
Some hours are plain and kindly. The montage asks for a sob on cue.
4
Truth
It shows that a voice takes work, then pretends the vote is the truth of the voice.
3
Stewardship
What a winner leaves with is a contract. The country leaves with a habit of judging.

Orange Is the New Black

Sometimes it tells the truth about a hidden place. Often it sells the pain. Adults, sparingly.

The review

A prison is a real public fact, and most living rooms had managed not to look at the women in it. The early episodes look. Backstories arrive as a moral claim: a person is not the worst day the state recorded.

The show learned, as Netflix learned, that a hidden place can be a library of twists. If you watch it, watch a woman trying to get home to a child, and turn it off when the place becomes a quip. Adults. Not a binge. A binge is how the hiding continues in another costume.

Industry and Household and Piety and Temperance and Stewardship are the thin ones.

Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel

50 instead of 39

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is still a drama show, and it scores 50 instead of 39. What you gain is industry: She gets good at a hard craft by doing it when it is humiliating.
