It might seem obvious to say that David Hull plays white guys (because, well, he’s white), but the actor is on two shows — Crazy Ex Girlfriend and Insecure — that consciously acknowledge that fact.

I am so goddamn excited to become completely obsessed with Cruel Summer once again. I love a teen soap opera — of which Freeform is now the official hub thanks to the demise of the CW — especially when it’s set in the era of Y2K and so has to find a way to make dated slang like “bee-yotch” sound natural in the mouth of someone who’s never known life before the internet.

Nixon and Trensch in The Seven Year Disappear. The dynamic between an overbearing mother and a gay son is an ever-productive area for artistic exploration. You can approach it allegorically and abstractly (just survey the career of Stephen Sondheim) or by putting the two generations onstage, sitting in chairs staring across from each other, as Cynthia Nixon and Taylor Trensch do at the start of The Seven Year Disappear.
