We can't believe the long-awaited second season of Xo, Kitty is finally streaming on Netflix! After last season's jaw-dropping cliffhanger, our favorite teen matchmaker is back at Kiss, prepared to tackle whatever drama comes her way. Though, for her sanity, let’s hope it’s a smooth sailing semester this time! Who are we kidding, though? With Kitty, chaos is practically guaranteed—and we’re here for every second of it! Q doesn't call her his chaos queen for nothing.

Unfortunately, the second season is two episodes shorter than the first. With each episode clocking in at 30 minutes or less, the season flies by. You hit play on the first episode, and before you know it, you’ve already reached the season 2 finale! Honestly, it seems like the episodes go by even quicker because the story is so engaging and packed with twists, leaving you wanting more after each one.

Judge Steve Harvey – (ABC/Erika Doss)

Steve Harvey Steve Harvey has quickly learned that justice is not easy.

And Harvey firmly believes that justice is blind. So, when he gets those difficult cases, he told us he tries to keep his personal feelings about the people involved out of his decisions, which is not an easy thing to do.

Steve Harvey In a way, Judge Steve Harvey is like the U.S. Supreme Court, in that the show gets to choose the cases it would like to hear. So, ultimately, the decisions often come down to the types of cases that Harvey enjoys presiding over. And, while Harvey says he finds many different kinds of cases interesting, there are naturally some types that intrigue him more than others.

Judge Steve Harvey (ABC/Erika Doss) Steve Harvey In his two seasons of making decisions behind the bench, Steve Harvey has learned that justice isn’t easy. Difficult decisions have to be made, and good people will sometimes come out on the losing side.

But, in order to give the show — and Harvey’s rulings on the show — some real gravitas, he insists that trial participants afford him the same kind of respect they would have for a real judge. That includes, Harvey told us, making sure that he is addressed in a formal way.

Great casting is one of the things best defined by what it is not. There’s an alchemy to the assembling of a cast — particularly a larger ensemble — that can only be achieved with luck and a sharp eye. And while the 2022-2023 TV season saw plenty of larger-than-life performances and jaw-dropping transformations, these four first-year series managed, in wildly different ways, the same balancing act of star turns and sharply delineated supporting roles. Here are four series worthy of Emmy Award consideration for their feats of casting.

The Wonder Years continues its nostalgic trip down memory lane in the emotional wake of Martin Luther King Jr.’s death in the latest episode, “Green Eyed Monster.” In an exclusive sneak peek clip from the installment airing September 29, the Williams family returns from church, and young Dean (Elisha “Ej” Williams) listens in as his big sister Kim (Laura Kariuki) tries to convince their parents, Lillian (Saycon Sengbloh) and Bill (Dulé Hill), should allow her to attend a rally protesting MLK Jr.’s violent death. “Where are you going?” Lillian asks her daughter in the sneak peek, above, as Kim appears to be in a rush to get out of the house. (Credit: ABC/Erika Doss) “I told you. Out,” Kim answers in a frustrated tone. When her mother informs her that they just came back from being out, the teen lets out the feelings she’s been keeping locked inside.

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for The Wonder Years, Season 1, Episode 1, “Pilot.”] Although it takes place in the same era (the late 1960s), ABC’s reboot of The Wonder Years is telling a different story from the original as the focus shifts from Kevin Arnold (Fred Savage) to Dean Williams (Elisha “Ej” Williams). While Dean is a bit like Kevin because of his awkward youth, there’s a distinct difference as the series looks at life within Dean’s relatively affluent Black community. The premiere focuses on Dean’s desire to find the place he fits best, a quest that’s harder to achieve than he’d originally thought.

The Hate U Give tackles serious issues about race with heart and honesty through the experiences of a black teen girl from a poor neighborhood trying to fit in at a mostly-white private high school, a balancing act upended when she witnesses the killing of a black friend by a white cop.

This is a powerful, engaging drama that everyone should see, for its effective balanced handling of some of society’s most difficult topics in our present society, as well as it’s moving story and wonderful performances, particularly by young Amandla Stenberg. It is particularly essential viewing for white audiences, for the insights and perspectives it offers.

Based on Angie Thomas’ young-adult novel, The Hate U Give rises far above other movies based on young-adult novels.

Starr Carter is constantly switching between two worlds: the poor, mostly black, neighborhood where she lives and the rich, mostly white, prep school she attends. The uneasy balance between these worlds is shattered when Starr witnesses the fatal shooting of her childhood best friend Khalil at the hands of a police officer. Now, facing pressures from all sides of the community, Starr must find her voice and stand up for what’s right. The Hate U Give is based on the critically acclaimed New York Times bestseller by Angie Thomas and stars Amandla Stenberg as Starr, with Regina Hall, Russell Hornsby, Issa Rae, Kj Apa, Algee Smith, Sabrina Carpenter, Common and Anthony Mackie.

Opens Friday, October 12 in St. Louis.

Wamg has your free passes to the advance screening of The Hate U Give in St. Louis.

Date: October 10, 7pm in the St. Louis area.
