Emily Taherney in Monologue.
A scathing comedy set in the chaotic offices of Australia’s ‘sixth most-read public affairs publication’, the web series showcases the promise of satirical talent and a brand-new take on digital publishing’s click-hungry culture.like millennials Utopia, these six micro-episodes highlight the point where the best intentions are subverted by self-interest. Like a misjudged label, the show’s double meaning can sting.
The characters are high-profile, standing on both sides of the divide between journalism and profit: editor Monique (Emily Taheny) pursuing the former to boost her profile, publisher Max (Mike McLeish ) . ) to plan for the latter. The themes are timely, ranging from AI-generated content to a perverted celebrity death hoax that no one verifies before posting because it invokes the holy trinity of “death, sex, and nostalgia.”
The result is hilarious, as if Monique took over the site’s TikTok account, but Nick Melin’s series gets it right — and there should be some ears burning.Thankfully, we’re past the point where web series like this monologue Judgment can be extended to half an hour on ABC. Like a catchy title, the show is concise and successful. It is worthy of praise.

Between the absurdism of the infrastructure and the goofy character sketches—strange aliens still linger nearby—the visual aesthetic of the show falls short, and despite Nat Faxon’s brilliant voice acting, many Enjoyable jokes don’t add up to much, Sam Richardson and Dana Carvey.

A notable misstep for Apple TV+ was Garth Risk Hallberg’s acclaimed murder mystery novel, a sprawling, atmospheric tale set through the ruins of mid-1970s New York, adapted by Josh Schwartz (the oc) and Stephanie Savage (gossip Girl). Unsurprisingly, the couple unfortunately moved the setting to 2003, and while that was their cultural sweet spot, the resulting series lacked a sense of place, with a mishmash of characters who seemed inspired by different eras, even Famous era-friendly soundtrack. The page-turning appeal of the book is gone.
