Best Lines of the Week (July 7-13): ‘Crush Them, Too. Great.’
Plenty of new shows and episodes graced out screens this week, providing plenty of comedy that keeps us laughing and drama that keeps us glued to our seats.
Real stories has us choked up; from RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars having to kick off another contestant to emotional acceptance speeches at the ESPYS, there was no shortage of emotion. Meanwhile, some of our favorite networks and streaming services brought forward powerhouse episodes and shows. Apple TV+ gave us the finale of the newest comedy that we can’t help but obsess over with Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne starring as estranged best friends rekindling their relationship. HBO gave us a deeper and, as always, hilarious look into the history of the Gemstone clan in their newest episode of The Righteous Gemstones.
