After two years and a pandemic, ‘Succession’ has returned with Roy family drama in full-swing. Will Kendall take down his father? Whose side will Shiv and Roman take?

Read our Episode 1 recap: https://www.burbsent.com/post/succession-season-3-premiere-recap-action-stations

The only TV show ever is finally back, thank God. Many predictions have been made as to what might happen after we left the Roys in season two, but now our dreaming has come to an end.

"'PUNK' is a navigation of interiority and natural sound from one of the most enigmatic, alien-like, trap-forward celebrities in America."

We reviewed 'PUNK,' the newest album from Young Thug: https://www.burbsent.com/post/review-punk-by-young-thug

Young Thug’s second studio album Punk is an acoustic project more reminiscent of 2017’s Beautiful Thugger Girls than 2019’s So Much Fun. It’s a departure from the exuberant, synthesized Thugger we’ve fallen in love with over the years since the Slime Season series. Punk is a navigation of ...

The Chicago Bulls haven't made the playoffs since 2017, the third-longest drought in the league.

With a new roster featuring Lonzo Ball and DeMar DeRozan alongside Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic, we think it's time to consider the Bulls back: https://www.burbsent.com/post/are-the-chicago-bulls-actually-back

But today, I sit here writing to you that I have indeed returned, not to cover the happenings of the league, but of the Chicago Bulls. Yo...

'Lamb' doesn't deliver the scares of other A24 horror films like 'Hereditary' or 'Midsommar.' Rather, it serves as a slow-burn family drama about a lamb-toddler hybrid that may just be the weirdest film of 2021.
