Metacritic score: 90 A deliciously wicked, loosely historically based drama from Greek director Yorgos Lanthimos (who earned an Oscar nomination in 2017 for his screenplay for The Lobster), The Favourite is a dark comedy about three women: Queen Anne (Olivia Colman), her closest friend and adviser Lady Sarah (Rachel Weisz), and the young woman (Emma Stone) who joins the household and starts to usurp Sarah's coveted spot.
For those of us who came of age during the glory years of the holy trinity of ABC, CBS and NBC, the power of "Network" was its absurd idea: a fourth network, fictitiously called UBS, which is the underdog network that dares to usurp that trifecta with provocative programming and what is ostensibly a reality TV show that blends news and slanted political interpretations to prey on Americans' fears.
With wave after wave of restrictive laws prohibiting the sale of e-cigarettes, flavored or otherwise, this over-the-counter oral spray is poised to usurp vaping's throne should the FDA end up approving it—though it's also poised to become just as uncool and ineffective as nicotine gum and patches, which don't even do the intended thing they're supposed to do and help people quit smoking in the long term.

But we can feel a sense of mission that might outweigh frustration by recognizing that this is the very situation that George Washington warned us about, when he wrote in his farewell address, "However [political parties] may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion."
