16+ min ago (546+ words) HBO has always been a reputable source for quality television, whether it's award-winning dramas like "The Sopranos" and "True Detective" or action-packed series like "Game of Thrones" and "The Last of Us." However, HBO is quite underrated for its repertoire of original comedy series, which it has aired since the network's very beginnings. That's not all HBO has to offer, either. In 2020, the network launched its own platform, HBO Max, to compete with the best streaming services in the entertainment industry. This subsidiary of HBO has even started reaping awards for its own programming, including "The Pitt." Nevertheless, it can still be as hard as ever to gauge what the best comedy series on any given streaming service are, thanks to the overabundance of available content.

1+ hour, 13+ min ago (593+ words) Jennifer Le Blanc has a rather lofty title for her role on the creative team of TheatreWorks Silicon Valley's production of "Georgiana and Kitty: Christmas at Pemberley," the Jane Austen-inspired play written by Lauren Gunderson and Margot Melcon. Le Blanc is the "Regency etiquette consultant" on the production, which opens Dec. 3. "Isn't that a great title?" Le Blanc mused. The title is all about helping to build the Austenian world, but when questioned about how she reached such a pedigree, her conclusion is rather simple. "I am not a historian and I am not a dramaturg, but what I am is a very nerdy and very curious actor," Le Blanc said. "In my own acting career, it is probably three-quarters classical work, and I've done a ton of Shakespeare, as well as lots of adaptations of Dickens or Jane Austen....

Christmas movies are one of the best ways to get into the spirit of the season, but it can seem like there are only the same few to watch on rotation. There is one older film that has topped a Rotten Tomatoes list as the number one "best" Christmas film ever.

I assumed it was a stage name. Rachel Parris? With two Rs? I'nearly didn't go, thinking it might all be bullshit. But as soon as I walked into the rehearsal room and watched the group improvising, I realised they were brilliant. Over the years, I have played Rachel's sister, mother, cousin, aunt and child. Out of all of them, I'd say our bond is like cousins who really like'each other. I was surrounded by boys growing up, so to finally find someone that I could have a'conversation with about blusher with'nobody interjecting "This is pathetic" was…...

That's a sight with which we're all familiar. But panto villain as Elon Musk? Maybe that's a first for Vikki Stone and Tonderai Munyevu's Christmas show, which doesn't stint on satirical sideswipes " nor, I am happy to report, on boisterous festive fun. Musk makes his appearance spooking our three heroes when they hijack a rocket at SpaceX to rescue Gary the Goose from interstellar (for some reason) captivity. Formerly owned by the good fairy WTF, he has been birdnapped by her frenemy BFF " and if those two are giving strong Glinda and Elphaba vibes, well, I don't think it's…...
