  • They Both Die at the End – General Review
    Summer break is the perfect opportunity to get back into reading. Adam Silvera’s (2017) novel, They Both Die at the End, can serve as a stepping stone into the realm of reading. The pace is fast, action-packed, and develops loveable characters. Also, Silvera switches point of view each chapter where narration mainly focuses on the protagonists, […]
  • My Favorite Book – Freshwater
    If there’s one book that I believe everyone should read once in their life, it’s my favorite book – Freshwater by Akwaeke Emezi. From my course, Queer Literature under Dr. Bill Albertini, I discovered Emezi’s Freshwater (2018). Once more, my course, Creative Writing Thesis Workshop under Professor Amorak Huey, was instructed to present our favorite […]

TBS sitcom ‘My Boys’ is like a night out with friends

‘Out of left field’ is the theme for the first episode of ‘My Boys’ as JP considers the meaning of the phrase. The episode continues right where the second season left off with JP, Brendan, Mike, Kenny, Andy and Stephanie at a beautiful ranch to celebrate Bobby’s wedding to the Swedish nanny Elsa. ‘John Cougar, Newman Camp,’ the last episode of the second season, left a few questions about what might happen between JP and Jack – Bobby’s brother – and how that might affect her friendship with Bobby. ‘Welcome Back, Kalla F’ouml;tter’ wastes no time clearing up these questions (‘Kalla F’ouml;tter’ is a hint about the episode). Everything is, for the most part, resolved by the end of the episode. That phrase ‘out of left field’ pops up again and again. However, some events don’t come ‘out of left field.’ There’s another contest between the boys – specifically Brendan, Kenny and Mike – about who can grow the best moustache within a month. Most fans of the show probably recall the ‘Project Crowleys’ contest the guys had in the second season, where they each competed to make the best shirt. The moustache competition gives just as many horribly hilarious images and jokes. Brendan gets called ‘d’Artagnan,’ Mike is called ‘Amber Alert’ and Kenny ‘American Chopper.’ They definitely fit the descriptions. While it may not have me on the floor in stitches, – ‘My Boys’ is enjoyable. The characters are engaging and approachable, if a little two-dimensional. Mike is a ladies man, and there’s not a lot of development on that personality – he’s rude and crude with no real explanation as to why. However, it is only a half-hour sitcom, so perhaps that’s too much to ask. You must also understand baseball and sports to get a chunk of the jokes, but the rest of the jokes are accessible to all so it’s certainly not a requirement. However, the above criticisms aside, ‘My Boys’ could be equated to going to a bar with friends. It may not be the most drama-filled show on television or the most hilarious, but it’s good. It’s enjoyable, fun and above all relaxing – like a night out with good friends.
