It’s a mixture of celebrity psychotherapy, dadaism and comedy that adds up to a genre-busting experience the likes of which you won’t find anywhere else on the tube.

No matter how many movies and TV series are made about the dangers of artificial intelligence, billionaires and tech companies around the world still are hellbent on marching us closer to our inevitable demise at the hands of the AI-infused robot overlords. Well, maybe the world needs a new TV series about AI starring Brian Tyree Henry and Kate Mara to learn our lesson once and for all.

You know how people used to say that HBO is the premier destination for prestige TV dramas? Well, HBO might have lost a bit of that luster in recent years, but FX is more than happy to take the crown with series such as “Fargo,” “Pose,” “Atlanta,” “Mayans MC,” and the under-the-radar hit, “Snowfall.” And now, as the fourth season has just wrapped up, “Snowfall” is looking at potential awards recognition later this year.

Rob McElhenney is one of the hardest-working guys in TV right now.

Pride, from Vice Studios and Killer Films, makes the universal personal by presenting its multifaceted story of the queer rights movement in six distinct episodes, by six different queer filmmakers.It’s actually seven directors total, as indie standouts Tom Kalin (Swoon), Andrew Ahn (Spa Night), Cheryl Dunye (Watermelon Woman), Yance Ford (Strong Island), and relative newcomers Ro Haber, and the team of Anthony Caronna and Alex Smith each bring a unique vision to chronicling the queer history

When it began its run a few years ago, “Mayans MC” was “Sons of Anarchy” with a Latino flair. Sure, the cast was all new and the story didn’t pick up where ‘Sons’ left off, but with Kurt Sutter at the helm, “Mayans MC” felt like “Sons 2.0.” Well, with Sutter gone and Elgin James the sole showrunner, the FX drama isn’t just moving further away from its ‘Sons’ past, but it’s actually much, much better because of it.

After last night’s finale, “Mayans MC” has just wrapped up its third season on FX. But if you’ve been watching the series since the beginning, you know that Season 3 is a milestone for ‘Mayans,’ as it shed its “Sons of Anarchy” spinoff title and became something…else.

Back in January, fans of Danny Boyle were given the news the filmmaker was going to begin work on a new FX series based on the career of the influential punk rock band, The Sex Pistols.

I’m not Donald Glover’s accountant or anything, but I’m going to go out on a limb and say that the actor-comedian-rapper-writer-[insert whatever else he’s working on today] is already a pretty wealthy man. But after his brand-new Amazon deal that is THR is reporting about, it seems like he’s, uh, doing pretty damn well financially.

Lee Daniels is moving into the spy genre, according to The Hollywood Reporter, as he’ll executive produce a series adaptation of the Sam Greenlee novel “The Spook Who Sat By Door” with “The First Purge” director Gerard McMurray handling the show’s pilot.

It’s time to take a trip down memory lane. We’re going to try to remember all the way back to 2013, when it was announced that Charlie Kaufman would be working with FX on a new series titled “How and Why.” The series seemed to be the same sort of strange mindfuck that you probably expect from the creator.

Well, you may have forgotten, but FX announced a year ago that they were making a three-episode limited series based on the same material from writer Amanda Coe (“Shameless,” “The Trial of Christine Keeler”) and directed by Danish cinematographer turned director Charlotte Bruus Christensen (known for shooting “The Hunt,” “Far
