Only Murders in the Building
A critique
A show that seems more niche than it actually is, OMITB centers on true crime obsessives who become three unlikely amigos and start a podcast to solve a string of murders in their posh Manhattan building. Darkly hilarious and emotionally evocative with a brilliant cast, this series is a must-see.

WandaVision
A Marvel Cinematic Universe show that was hugely popular and fun to watch, WandaVision presented a clever take on loss, grief, and the psychopathology of superhumans. However, the twist felt unearned, a "switcheroo" instead of a satisfying reveal, and Legion handled the same topics earlier and better, without any fanfare.

Preschoolers
What is a preschooler? Preschool is somewhat like day care except there is more academic subjects like reading, manuscript writing, math skills along with more experiments in science and social studies with learning safety and even staying healthy by teaching preschoolers' nutrition and other skills with a little more detail than day care. Preschoolers also still do art, music and movement activities related to the academic areas.

Spectating
I can't imagine dying like this, in a place like this; on a cold, dirty pavement with rush hour traffic screaming by and a crowd looking on while paramedics struggle to find space to move. Who could? Deep down we all think there should be a reason, a moment of clarity... or a family presence, at least. For this man, this boy, the rail thin woman lighting a cigarette in a faux fur jacket will have to do - she's been here since the start, her eyes tracking the movement of my shoulders as we fight to keep him on the right side of the line.
