Euphoria spoilers below. Rue is a good liar, but she can’t fake an orgasm. When the latest Euphoria episode begins with her in bed with Jules, Rue is so high she can’t feel a thing. But she must keep her secret–that she’s on drugs again–from her girlfriend, so she pretends that it feels “amazing” and finishes off the performance with an unconvincing climax. Jules is not fooled. Jules tells Elliot about about the incident with a cringe-inducing impression and he suggests, maybe, she sucks at oral sex. In an uncomfortable...

The Sex and the City reboot series And Just Like That... has been quite an experience for fans and haters.

(Charlotte and Harry seem to be going strong, though.)Actress...

One could argue And Just Like That’s Nya and Andre exist on a different plane of reality than the other couples in HBO Max’s Sex and the City reboot. The blissful wife and husband, as played by Karen Pittman and LeRoy McClain, seem to be the only pair not engaging in absurd behavior every available moment—whether blowing up a marriage in favor of “comedy concerts,” hiding BJs from their daughter, or signing off on a date by puking, in perfect unison, into a gutter. Nya and Andre, by comparison, have...
