Katy Keene Episode 1: New York City!

Welcome to New York City, where dreams are made! We watched the pilot of Katy Keene and found it to be an enjoyable, if relatively shallow good time. We discuss the sugary tone, its relation to rom coms, fashion brands and punny names, evil and jealous women, the glamorization of chasing your dreams, Katy as the pure embodiment of good, Josie’s My Fair Lady plot, and Jorge’s struggle with homophobic directors. We also discuss Pretty Little Liars The Perfectionists, They Came Together, Stella, The Devil Wears Prada, When Harry Met Sally, and You Got Mail. We’ll be watching episodes 2 and 3 next week!
