With Rap Sh!t, Issa Rae Once Again Creates Television Gold

Personally, I always thought Insecure used text messages really effectively in its storytelling, but in Rap Sh!t, Rae and her team take the centrality of social media to the next level. The show follows a pair of Miami women acting up on their way to rap stardom, through the lens of social media's role in their ascension. It's a storyline that makes sense for Rae, considering she basically invented the internet-to-TV pipeline, which is how one of the show's stars, Aida Osman, was scouted as well. Anyway, if you're not already watching, there's plenty of time to catch up before its season finale early next month.

William Jackson Harper Makes Some Noise

After rising to fame as the perpetually overwrought ethics professor Chidi Anagonye in NBC’s The Good Place, Harper — whose other screen credits include The Electric Company, Midsommar, and The Underground Railroad — stepped into his first leading role in the second season of HBO Max’s rom-com anthology, Love Life. His latest project, Peacock’s The Resort, finds him in another starring role, albeit one in which his character fights to stay in his waning marriage on an ill-fated anniversary trip rather than navigating the New York dating scene as a newly divorced Black man.
