My defense is these:

HBO's “And Just Like That,” like "Sex and the City" before it, is an exaggerated funhouse mirror of its viewers’ world.

Robert F. Drinan, S.J., was a prominent U.S. politician and a longtime law professor—but he found his identity in his priesthood and his Jesuit life more than under the Speaker's rostrum.

Despite its first three seasons of ambitious, campy, violent fun, “Killing Eve” lost its way in its final season with a failed conversion subplot and problematic treatment of queer characters.

Obituaries for Drew Christiansen, S.J., mentioned his extensive writings on foreign policy issues and the Middle East, but he was also a talented and lyrical nature writer.

“Father Stu” is intended to be inspirational, but viewers may find any sense of elevation elusive.
