As with FX’s Pose, this series had a lot to establish with last week’s premiere – and did so superbly, building the family dynamics of a wealthy and dysfunctional media baron and his various hangers-on and offspring. Frank Rich is one of this show’s executive producers, and it shows: This is one intelligent, sometimes wickedly funny drama series. If you’re already missing Showtime’s Patrick Melrose, stay tuned…

There may never be a slow news week again. But in the meantime, on many weeks such as this one, at least we have John Oliver to make sense of it all. And nonsense, too.
