Minority Mindset

Like its predecessor, Jersey Shore, this show highlights the long-standing relationships between the cast members – connections that go back decades. It’s complicated! Think shared childhood memories like First Communions, sibling rivalry over boys in high school, and years spent together at the tanning salon. And now, after all that shared history, the women are featured holding…clams. Surprisingly, they’ve swapped the elegant pearls seen in promotional photos for clams in the show’s opening credits.

Looking for a new, exciting action-thriller on Netflix? Here are 10 shows that are consistently great, with no disappointing seasons.

The episode picks up right in the middle of a heated argument between Kyle and Dorit. Kyle lost her temper, telling Dorit to stop bothering her, and the core issue remains Dorit’s frustration with Kyle discussing her spending habits behind her back – especially considering Dorit used an advance on a book that likely won’t be a bestseller. Kyle defends herself by saying others share her concerns about Dorit’s unpredictable behavior and tardiness, which isn’t helping her argument. A lot of the fight revolves around the word “erratic,” and Kyle admits she might not be using it correctly, but that feels like an excuse – she knows what she means. It’s clear Dorit expects different treatment than others, and Kyle has been trying to turn people against her all season. Both women have valid points, but they’re also both in the wrong. However, I’m leaning towards siding with Kyle, mostly because Dorit’s constant lateness is incredibly frustrating. It was satisfying to hear Kyle point out that they’ve all been understanding about her being late – often by over an hour – without receiving even a simple apology, and the others confirmed this was true.

Consider Dr. Langdon. When a teenage patient, Grady, arrived with a severe asthma attack, Langdon immediately wanted to insert a breathing tube. Dr. Shen advised caution, explaining that intubating someone with severe asthma can sometimes cause a heart attack, and they should try other treatments first. Those initial treatments helped, but when Grady began struggling again, Langdon quickly prepared to intubate. This time, Dr. Crus intervened, pointing out that Grady had a collapsed lung. After a quick procedure to insert a chest tube, Crus stabilized Grady’s breathing. Langdon realized how close he had come to overreacting and seemed shaken by the experience.

The season 2 finale of The Pitt is approaching after a difficult episode 13. Several characters faced major challenges: Ogilvie considered leaving emergency medicine after a patient’s death, Mohan struggled with a returning patient, Langdon doubted her abilities, and Robby had a heated argument with Dana, revealing he’s not coping well with stress and past trauma. Here’s a recap of the key issues as the season nears its end.

As one character put it in season 2 of Your Friends & Neighbors, the show just doesn’t have a clear purpose. With a large cast of characters who are mostly self-absorbed, overly concerned with sex, and think too highly of themselves, it’s still hard to tell after two seasons whether the show is making fun of the rich or simply is a shallow, dramatic series. Regardless, it doesn’t really work, it’s easily forgotten, and frustratingly, it’s somewhat enjoyable—even though a third season is already planned.
