Euphoria and The White Lotus. Both shows that used sex to shore up an otherwise boring story

A book recommendation: Click, Clack, Moo. It’s about cows unionizing for better conditions

Arrested Development struggled from the serial storyline in a 30 minute sitcom slot. Fox didn’t like the show and moved its airtime around, making its viewership numbers even worse.
