I’m the TV critic for The New Republic and the author of the book Avidly Reads Screen Time. I am currently at work on a book called DAD: A POP HISTORY which will be published by Plume in 2027. My essays and reviews have appeared in Slate, WIRED, The New York Times Magazine, New York Magazine, and other places. From 2016 to 2023, I was TV editor at The Los Angeles Review of Books.
