Screenwriting gurus often say that the great thing about William Goldman’s script for Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid is that he has two central characters who work together to represent both sides of one protagonist. The same could easily be said of Peep Show. Not to overthink a sitcom, but Mark Corrigan and Jeremy Usborne represent the darkest impulses of each side of the human mind. Their conflict is always logic versus reason....

During the 2014 WWDC keynote, Apple demoed a very early build of its upcoming Photos application for Mac.

Big, bold, bulky… When it comes to the design of cameras, there seems to be really nothing that can change the game. For quite some time now, we have seen similar bodies that are improved a bit every now and then and while it pains us to say so, it does not look like camera design is going anywhere new, anytime soon. The good old (mostly black) blocks with a lens attached to it are pretty much what everyone can think of when we think of a DSLR or a mirrorless camera and guess what?...

Who wouldn’t want to dress Jamie Fraser, hunky Sam Heughan’s counterpart on the popular TV series Outlander? He is good looking and muscular and takes well to well-designed outfits. Viewers might have been too besotted with the actor to even notice his outfits, however, there are many things about them which remain unnoticed and unconsidered. For example, the story behind the tartans and kilts, and the Scottish traditions considered in their construction....

In October 2018, Netflix renewed Ozark for a third season.

Parks & Recreation’s original title was simple but probably wouldn’t have caught your attention at all – and, surprisingly, that’s not the reason why it was changed. Created by Greg Daniels and Michael Schur, the political satire sitcom Parks & Recreation debuted on NBC in 2009, and even though the first season wasn’t the best, it continued its course for six more seasons, ending in 2015. The series followed the lives (both in and outside the office) of Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler) and her friends and co-workers from the Parks Department in the fictional town of Pawnee, Indiana....
