As much as anything else, Britney’s story is about never being the right age to take charge of your own life. The documentary Framing Britney Spears, the newest installment of the New York Times Presents series for FX and Hulu, is an hour-long deep dive into the history of the pop icon’s rise to fame and fortune and her almost immediate media implosion. Its particular focus is on the “Free Britney” movement, an increasingly urgent call among Spears fans, and now her peers, for the court to release Britney from the legal conservatorship that gives her father, Jamie Spears, immense control over her career, her estate, her relationships, and her health.

Fred Durst. This week’s news that John Travolta would star in Moose — a movie written and directed by Limp Bizkit front man Fred Durst, and loosely based on an incident with a stalker that the rap-rocker experienced years prior — was, to say the least, surprising. Not “Fred Durst is possibly colluding with Russia”–level surprising, but maybe “Limp Bizkit signs to Lil Wayne’s former label”–level surprising. Further confusion was created when Variety incorrectly stated in a tweet that Travolta would be playing Durst himself, but fear not: Travolta won’t be shopping for fitted red Yankees caps any time soon.

Isn’t it rich? Zach Galifianakis can continue to be sad on TV, but moderately more happy in real life, as FX has renewed his surreal comedy Baskets for a second season. The series, from Galifianakis, Louis C.K., and Jonathan Krisel, follows Chip Baskets, who flunks out of French clown school and ends up moving home with his mother (Louie Anderson) and working as a rodeo clown in California.

Few series have as valid a claim as Game of Thrones to the title of Defining Show of the 2010s. Coming at both the tail end of TV’s Second Golden Age and the advent of the social media age, it was one of the final vestiges of the monoculture: Every week, millions of viewers across demographics were united — and often divided — in their speculation over the battle for the Iron Throne, the looming threat beyond the Wall, and the many human dramas, both petty and profound, in between.

As a small but fierce group of wildlings approach Castle Black from the South, and Mance Rayder’s army bears down from the other side of the Wall, the men of the Night’s Watch prepare for battle — or try to. “How do 102 men stop 100,000?” wonders one of Jon Snow’s brother crows. Especially since, as their maester once pointed out, those 102 men aren’t all fighters — some are stewards, some are builders, and some are just “tired old men. [Read More]

Gray Holland (Thomas Doherty) in happier, less fang-y times. As the inimitable Titus Andromedon taught us on Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, teeth are your outside bones. Now, thanks to Girls5eva, they’re also nightmare fuel. For three seasons, Meredith Scardino’s series has been delightful, witty, and nostalgic without being too self-indulgent, and it’s also now responsible for the most horrifying image I’ve seen on television this year: more spooky than a corpsicle or a cosmonaut’s decaying body floating through space; more grotesque than horse guts spilling all over the battlefield or Chancellor Vernham’s father’s corpse steadily rotting in a glass coffin; more unsettling than Tom Sandoval attempting to mimic human feelings or DJ James Kennedy puzzling out how to provide refreshments for a pool party.
