Boy Scout Child Sexual Abuse Examined In ‘Leave No Trace’
Leave No Trace is an odd title for a documentary like this. Even more odd is how there is little reviews to find of it despite it being released over a week ago by ABC News on Hulu.

The Janes begins with an interviewee telling us something that many probably never considered.

Broadcasting ‘Gaslit’ At Perfect Time
Gaslit couldn’t have come at a better time. I’m sure the powers that be behind this eight-part limited series about the Watergate break-in and the aftermath weren’t anticipating the Jan. 6 hearings to happen during the series’ initial broadcast.
