Benjamin Franklin once said, “[I]n this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes” but that is only because television OTPs hadn’t been invented yet. It’s a rare OTP that’s so damn good, they warrant the launch of an entire series of articles about our loveRead More →

Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist 1×12 “Zoey’s Extraordinary Dad” is an extraordinary episode of television. It’s emotional, poignant and despite all the sadness, incredibly uplifting, because it does a great job of showing grief in a way that’s relatable, in a way that feels tangible. This show hits different notes for everyoneRead More →
Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist airs its final episode tomorrow, but for Kapil Talwalkar, who plays wannabe bro Tobin, that’s only the beginning. Or at least, we hope it is. Fangirlish had a chance to talk to Kapil, and the first thing we did (and the last, too) was manifest a seasonRead More →
Ships. In entertainment, and especially, in fandom, we live and die by them. Which is why every Friday, we’ll be focusing on a couple, analyzing why we ship them, and overall, just proclaiming our eternal love for those couples that make us say: I will go down with this ship.Read More →
Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist 1×11 “Zoey’s Extraordinary Mother” is the kind of episode that hits you deep, the kind that’s meant to make you acutely aware of time, and what it means to let that time pass you by. In a way, that’s what grief does, in its best iteration. ItRead More →
Warning: This article will contain references to a character’s father’s suicide. Of all the shows on television today, Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist has quickly become the one I look forward to the most, bringing humor and heart week after week, in a time when people are desperately longing for both.

Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist 1×10 “Zoeys Extraordinary Outburst” is a hard, uncomfortable episode to watch, something very much removed from the usual lightness and heart that this show brings. And yet, as much as I didn’t really enjoy this episode as much as previous ones, there’s a part of me thatRead More →
When it comes to Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist (a.k.a. “The Best Show on Television Right Now”), Zoey Clarke and Max Richman are soulmates. Don’t believe me? Ask Skylar Astin, who plays Max on the show. His lack of chill about the future for the romantic arc in his series has beenRead More →
When I first saw the promo materials for Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist 1×09 “Zoey’s Extraordinary Silence,” I thought to myself, well, here it is. Here’s the typical filler episode. And I wasn’t even really upset about it, because we’ve had a lot of emotions the past few weeks, and hey, aRead More →
Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist 1×08 “Zoey’s Extraordinary Glitch” is the best this show has been, by far, with an emotional and relatable Zoey, a Max that has become the love interest we all dreamed he could be, a Simon that, so far, plays his role as the foil in this loveRead More →
You know the difference between watching a show because it’s somewhat entertaining and then writing some words about it, even though you’re not exactly brimming with words and absolutely loving something, being eager to watch the next episode and having an overabundance of words, to the point where you’re tryingRead More →
Something strange happened as I watched Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist 1×06 “Zoey’s Extraordinary Night Out.” I found myself not just vaguely enjoying it, but actually investing. Not just in Simon’s very relatable pain, but in Mo’s brand of friendship, in Zoey’s attempts to navigate a very uncomfortable situation, in Jessica’s anger,Read More →
For a moment or two there, during Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist 1×05 “Zoey’s Extraordinary Failure,” I really, really felt this show. The whole notion of failure, and how we must all deal with it is a very interesting subject that hits especially hard in the current world we live in. And,Read More →
Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist turned a corner last week, after the first two episodes failed to consistently deliver the emotional punch I required. In “Zoey’s Extraordinary Neighbor” the show once again leans on its strongest characters to deliver an episode that leaves us with a very good after-taste. In general, though,Read More →
Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist’s third episode, titled “Zoey’s Extraordinary Boss” finally does the thing we’ve been asking of it since the “Pilot.” It makes Zoey’s gift, curse, or whatever you want to call it, about someone other than Zoey, and by doing that, it makes Zoey, and the people around her,Read More →
Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist returns with “Zoey’s Extraordinary Best Friend,” an episode intended to help Zoey come to terms with her new, ahem, powers …as well as try to establish the dynamics we’re going to come to rely on during the season to come, and it works just about as wellRead More →
