Lots of very spirited family text thread commentary on this years’ rankings! I was just happy to see the Wedding Season shoutout – an uneven and tonally discordant show that Rosa Salazar nevertheless more-than-capably carried, and I will now watch everything else she does (see, also, Mary Elizabeth Winstead). Thanks for all the work you put in, Jeremy!
Wedding Season is for sure a roller coaster, though Salazar pulled me through its ups and downs. Also, now I demand a romantic comedy where she and Mary Elizabeth Winstead agree to kill each other’s husbands, then fall in love.
And my pleasure! Thanks for reading; glad I can give your family something to argue about.
