When one starts watching Adult Swim’s Common Side Effects, it’s easy to feel confused about exactly what it is. Is it a comedy? A thriller? A drama? A sci-fi epic? A bizarre drug trip?

After a while, though, it becomes clear that the answer to all those questions is the same one. Just as it is for the question of whether this is one of the best new shows of the year:

Damn right it is.

The animated series, which debuted back in February, was created by Joseph Bennett and Steve Hely,...

Emma Roberts weighed in on the allegations raised by the Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV docuseries.

The Investigation Discovery series featured former Nickelodeon stars retelling their experiences on the set of shows produced for the cable network under Dan Schneider’s leadership.

Roberts starred in Unfabulous, a sitcom created by Sue Rose, which ran for three seasons on Nickelodeon.

“It’s inexcusable,” she said in an interview with Flaunt about the sexual harassment allegations. “Kids need to be protected, adults need to be protected.”

The experience that Roberts had at Nickelodeon was different with her mother on the set with her.

“I have been lucky with the family I have and the people that I’ve worked with,” she added. “I try to keep doing my job and keep my head down.”

Emma Roberts isn’t staying quiet about being disturbed by the docuseries “Quiet on Set.”

Roberts, who is also a Nickelodeon alum, told Variety on the “Just for Variety” podcast that the ID series “really kept me up at night.” Roberts starred in kids show “Unfabulous” for three seasons; the series concluded in 2007.

“I watched [‘Quiet on Set’], and I was completely horrified and shocked because that was not my experience,” Roberts said. “It made me really, really, really sad that that was happening to people that I literally saw often and had no idea.”

The docuseries investigated the years of complaints against Nickelodeon executive Dan Schneider, who worked at the network from 1994 to 2018 before being fired amid harassment allegations.

“For me, my show, ‘Unfabulous,’ the showrunner we had was...

Emma Roberts knows that her new Prime Video movie, “Space Cadet,” is an any easy target for critics and cynics.

“It’s earnest,” she says on this week’s “Just for Variety” podcast. “And people are probably going to make fun of that, but it’s like, you know what, whatever. I think that it’s better to be earnest and do your best and be proud of what you do, no matter the reception.”

Roberts stars in the film, written and directed by “Purple Hearts” writer Liz W. Garcia, as Rex, a bartender who decides to pursue her childhood dream of becoming an astronaut. When she is accepted into NASA’s highly competitive astronaut-training program, things go sideways after learning that her best friend (“Hacks” actor Poppy Liu) had embellished her application.

“I just fell so in love with it,” Roberts recalls of reading the “Space Cadet” script. “I...
