I’m a sucker for a wedding episode of television. They’re super sentimental, over-the-top spectacles engineered to make the viewer cry, laugh, believe in a picture perfect kind of love. And I fall for it every time. Weddings in real life are full of pageantry and performance, and television leans into it. Pose, unsurprisingly, checks all the right boxes for a wedding episode, even deploying some classic soap opera devices including not one but two appearances from ghosts to really do things up. “Something Old, Something New,” written and directed by Janet Mock, is one of the most luxurious TV weddings to ever air. But it’s also another striking example of how this show bends rules and expectations. Angel gets her dream wedding, but it also feels distinctly emblematic of her and her community. Pose utilizes wedding episode tropes but still carves out its own space. It’s an engrossing combination of tradition and creativity.

Last week,
“POSE” held it’s third and final season red carpet premiere at the Rose Theater at Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York. And to say ish went totally left would be an understatement.

Jennifer Lawrence Reacts to Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck s Rum…
Pose, which is coming to end with its excellent third and final season, goes on an emotional roller coaster that’s not only full of tears, but also offers plenty of laughs that’s become expected of the heartfelt series about the New York City ballroom scene starring primetime TV’s largest LGBTQ cast of color. And despite the coronavirus pandemic shutting down production last spring and threatening the show’s ability to safely film group scenes, the Emmy-winning FX drama made sure the full spectacle of the underground competitions were part of i
