    Too many TV critics learned the wrong lesson from the golden age: that if Breaking Bad was genius, its contemporaries must be pretty good too.

    My first piece for 💫 I reviewed the documentary The Price of Everything

    Without offering substantive critique or new insights into the elite art world it documents, “The Price of Everything” is just spectacle.
