Toxic daddy
The Americans have discovered Dorian Gray.

– Michael Sun
We can't stop talking about...
How Industry got so kinky
Television  
How Industry got so kinky
Have we processed that finale? Are we okay??! Here’s a look back at the season that was: golden showers, mummy issues and all.
Wisteria Lane  
Also kinky: the sexy, silly, often problematic and always absurd Desperate Housewives, which turns 20 this year.
Pain or gain?  
Also silly: The Office Australia, which is already generating plenty of controversy. It’s a risky move – will it make or break all involved?
Workers’ strain  
Also risky: the TV industry, which in the UK is growing increasingly dangerous for its tired, overstretched staff.

Lettuce cake
Lettuce cake
It tastes better than it sounds, promise. And it's gloriously retro.

We’re not quite done with Industry, whose finale still has us spiralling as much as its toxic Asian daddy. Luckily there’s more to come! Also spiralling: kids, who are getting high on Galaxy Gas? Sounds awful – though not as bad as going to Jordan Peterson university. 

Good reads: what happened to hyperpop? What happened to indie sleaze? What happened to the novel? Speaking of books: JoJo has a new memoir! Kesha has a new album! Francis Ford Coppola has a new movie! (Not sure if you’ve heard?)

The comedian claims he chose his favourite clips from adolescence. It is surprisingly erudite?!
Top of the list
A film - split decision  
Joker: Folie à Deux is in cinemas! It’s Gaga-mania, it’s an old Hollywood musical, it’s a Scorsese pastiche. It’s also bad – but does that matter?

A show – love collision  
Heartstopper is back and maturing with its characters – though it remains the sweetest show on TV. On Netflix.

A list – film and television  
Every month we make our critic watch every single film and TV show to tell you what’s streaming – and this time it includes Challengers, the OG Carrie, and something that’s “Succession in the outback”.

An album – pop precision  
After her death in 2021, pop trailblazer Sophie left a collection of unfinished songs – now completed by her brother Benny on a posthumous, self-titled record that continues her singular prowess.

… there is a good reason why not to support the Guardian

Not everyone can afford to pay for news right now. That is why we keep our journalism open for everyone to read. If this is you, please continue to read for free.

But if you are able to, then there are three good reasons to support us today.

1

Our quality, investigative journalism is a powerful force for scrutiny at a time when the rich and powerful are getting away with more and more

2

We are independent and have no billionaire owner telling us what to report, so your money directly powers our reporting

3

It doesn’t cost much, and takes less time than it took to read this message

Help power the Guardian’s journalism in this crucial year of news, whether with a small sum or a larger one. If you can, please support us on a monthly basis . It takes less than a minute to set up, and you can rest assured that you're making a big impact every single month in support of open, independent journalism. Thank you.
