Published: Feb. 8, 2022, 10 a.m.

02:53 HBO teen drama Euphoria is inarguably a huge cultural force, especially among younger generations — but is it any good?

21:52 As We See It, streaming on Amazon Prime Video, is one of the few genuinely terrific shows about people with autism and the loved ones in their orbit.

39:00 Plus, culture notes about Rosamund Pike's running streak of strange taste in projects. (We reference this article by Olivia Craighead.)
