Your Honor TV show on Showtime: season 2 renewal

Michael Desiato is returning from the TV graveyard. Showtime has reversed an earlier decision and renewed the Your Honor TV series for a second season. Bryan Cranston will return to star in season two which will air in 2022.

The first season of the Your Honor TV series stars Cranston, Hunter Doohan, Michael Stuhlbarg, Hope Davis, Carmen Ejogo, Isiah Whitlock Jr., and Sofia Black-D’Elia, with guests Maura Tierney, Amy Landecker, Margo Martindale, Lorraine Toussaint, Chet Hanks, Lamar Johnson, and Lilli Kay. In the story, Michael Desiato (Cranston) is a highly-respected New Orleans judge whose personal and professional lives are turned upside down when his teenage son, Adam (Doohan), is involved in a hit-and-run. This leads to a high-stakes game of lies, deceit, and impossible choices for both of them. Meanwhile, Jimmy Baxter (Stuhlbarg) is the much-feared head of a crime family and the husband of Gina (Davis), who might be even more dangerous than her husband.

The first season of Your Honor averaged a 0.08 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 591,000 viewers. The series performed well for Showtime and was one of the cable channel’s top performers. It got off to a slow start in the traditional ratings (the premiere was released online early) but Your Honor showed significant growth over the course of the season.

The cable channel promoted Your Honor as a “limited series” which, these days, can indicate one or two things — that the story will be close-ended (ala a mini-series) or, that a season will have a limited number of episodes and could return for another season.

In this case, Showtime planned to keep Your Honor as a one-and-done series. A January press release noted that episode 10 was the end.

The ninth episode will air Sunday, February 7th at 10pm. The following Sunday, on February 14th at 10pm, the series concludes with the finale, directed by series star and executive producer Bryan Cranston.

Cranston was subsequently nominated for a “Best Actor in a Miniseries or Motion Picture – Television” Golden Globe, a further indication that a second season wasn’t planned.

Though the show seemed to have a firm resolution, Showtime has decided to revive Your Honor for a second season. It seems likely that the show’s ratings success might have played a role. Here’s Showtime’s announcement:

SHOWTIME(R) PICKS UP HIT SERIES “YOUR HONOR” FOR SECOND SEASON

Emmy(R) Winner Bryan Cranston To Return, With Premiere Targeted for 2022

First Season Broke Network Ratings Records

LOS ANGELES – August 24, 2021 – After breaking network viewership records with its debut, SHOWTIME has picked up a second season of the hit series YOUR HONOR, starring Oscar(R) nominee and Emmy, Screen Actors Guild(R) and Tony Award-winner Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad) in his performance as Michael Desiato, a respected New Orleans judge whose teenage son is involved in a hit-and-run that leads to a high-stakes game of lies, deceit and impossible choices. BAFTA(R) winner Peter Moffat (The Night Of, Undercover) serves as showrunner, executive producer and writer of multiple episodes. Premiering as a limited series, the first season of YOUR HONOR was the most-watched debut season on SHOWTIME ever (6.6 million weekly viewers) and is currently the network’s most-watched series. Production on 10 episodes for the upcoming season is scheduled to resume next year for a 2022 return to the network. The announcement was made today by Gary Levine and Jana Winograde, Presidents of Entertainment, Showtime Networks Inc.

“We were blown away by YOUR HONOR … by the power of Peter’s storytelling, by the depth of Bryan’s performance, and by the overwhelming reaction from our subscribers who watched in record numbers,” said Levine. “Imagine our delight when we learned that Peter believed he had more story to tell and Bryan felt he had more depths to plumb. So, along with its millions of fans, I am gleefully shouting ‘Encore!’”

In addition to Moffat, the series is executive produced by Emmy nominees Robert and Michelle King (The Good Fight, The Good Wife, Evil) and Liz Glotzer (Evil, The Good Fight). Emmy-winning producer Cranston and Emmy-nominated producer James Degus (All the Way) executive produce the series for Moonshot Entertainment. Season one of YOUR HONOR starred SAG Award winner Michael Stuhlbarg (Call Me By Your Name) as Jimmy Baxter, the much-feared head of a crime family opposite Emmy and Golden Globe(R) nominee Hope Davis (Love Life, American Crime) as his wife, Gina, who might be even more dangerous than her husband. The first season of the series also starred Hunter Doohan (Truth Be Told), Carmen Ejogo (Selma), Isiah Whitlock Jr. (The Wire), and Sofia Black-D’Elia (The Night Of) and guest starred Maura Tierney (THE AFFAIR), Amy Landecker (Transparent), Emmy winner Margo Martindale (The Americans), Lorraine Toussaint (Orange Is the New Black), Benjamin Flores Jr. (The Haunted Hathaways), Chet Hanks (Empire), Lamar Johnson (The Hate You Give) and Lilli Kay (Chambers).

YOUR HONOR, produced by CBS Studios in association with KingSize Productions, is based on the Israeli series Kvodo created by Ron Ninio and Shlomo Mashiach. Rob Golenberg, Alon Aranya, Ninio, Mashiach, Ram Landes, Ron Eilon and Danna Stern also serve as executive producers.

SHOWTIME is currently available to subscribers via cable, DBS, and telco providers, and as a stand-alone streaming service through Amazon, Apple(R), Google, LG Smart TVs, Oculus Go, Roku(R), Samsung Smart TVs, Xbox One and PlayStation(R)4.

How Home Depot Made Jasmine Mans a Better Writer

This is Rough Draft, in which our favorite writers get to the bottom of their own craft. From preferred writing drinks to whether or not you really need to carry a notebook, we find out all the ways they beat writer’s block and get it done. This week, we speak with Jasmine Mans on the occasion of her poetry collection “Black Girl, Call Home,” which was released earlier this year. The work tackles topics like Black haircare, familial grief, and the tangled relationships between mothers and daughters. Below, take a glimpse into Mans’ writing process.

———

JULIANA UKIOMOGBE: Describe your ideal writing atmosphere. What gets you in the mood?

JASMINE MANS: An organized space, with no distractions. White noise, ocean sounds, or a John Coltrane playlist. These options allow me to coast on a sonic journey without being distracted by literal words. While writing, I cannot hear words, other than the ones I am conjuring.

UKIOMOGBE: Do you eat or drink while you write? If so, what do you like to have?

MANS: I am a chronic, terribly insane, coffee drinker. I can manage a drip coffee or oat milk latte during every writing session, one or maybe even two. When I think about writing, I think about things that make me feel safe. The warmth of coffee reminds me of home and, in turn, makes me feel comforted. Truly, I didn’t know how important comfort was to my writing process until now.

UKIOMOGBE? Do you ever smoke while you write?

MANS: Smoking weed can offer many different reactions during the creative process. Sometimes cannabis makes you nervous, anxious, and unfocused. There are other times where cannabis relaxes that mind, allowing peace. I will also say, even as the CEO of a company called Buy Weed From Women, that the best mind is a sober mind. Art is not dependent on cannabis, but I wish for everyone a healthy “canna-art” relationship.

UKIOMOGBE: Do you keep a notebook and/or journal?

MANS: I keep way too many, that’s the problem. Now, I have a google doc on my computer entitled “next” and I’ll try to write everything in that one document, or transfer all of my loose sleeve writing to that document. A major part of being a “good” writer is routine and organization. Having one place to refer to your work allows you to track your growth.

UKIOMOGBE: Do you prefer handwriting or typing?

MANS: I prefer typing because I can literally get a thought out faster. I type faster than I write. However, notebooks do not offer any distractions, no open tabs, no pop-ups, no apps. With a notebook, it’s just you and the page. The computer includes you, the page, and the worldwide web waiting lustfully to distract you. It ain’t safe!

UKIOMOGBE: What’s your favorite quote?

MANS: ​​“You are your best thing.” ― Toni Morrison, Beloved.

UKIOMOGBE: Whose writing do you always return to?

MANS: I will always turn to Toni Morrison and Amiri Baraka.

UKIOMOGBE: What’s your favorite book to reread?

MANS: I love to reread Dr. Suess’ Oh, The Places You’ll Go! when I’m drunk, honestly.

UKIOMOGBE: Do you read while you’re in the process of writing?

MANS: Yes, I read things to educate myself and to find clever ways of distributing my language across the page. That’s what I’m most proud of, my constant reading of things, all things random and necessary.

UKIOMOGBE: Which writers inform your current work the most?

MANS: Quinta Brunson, Ocean Vuong, Toni Morrison, Clint Smith, James Baldwin, Alice Walker, Gwendolyn Brooks, Roxane Gay and so, so many more.

UKIOMOGBE: How many drafts of one piece do you typically write?

MANS: Great question! I’ve had poems that went through 30-40 drafts. I’ve had poems that only needed two drafts before they were complete. Drafts all depend on the depth, length, and emotion of the poem.

UKIOMOGBE: What would the title of your memoir be?

MANS: Maybe She Was a Genius.

UKIOMOGBE: Who’s your favorite screenwriter?

MANS: Shonda Rhimes. She said she treats her audience like they are intelligent, I respect that. We want to treat our audiences like they are stupid, as if we, the writers, don’t exist in the same realities they live in. I feel smarter, and more clever when watching the work of Shonda Rhimes. I’d like to offer my audience the same.

UKIOMOGBE: Do you consider writing to be a spiritual practice?

MANS: Sometimes it is. I think we should make everything we love a spiritual and ritualistic practice. When something becomes ritual it is honored, it is cemented in the routine of one’s life. Things that are connected to one’s spirit should be protected, honored, and shared.

UKIOMOGBE: Which writers would you choose to have dinner with, living or dead?

MANS: Toni Morrison, James Baldwin, Amiri Baraka, Eckhart Tolle, and Tupac Shakur. I would love to talk to Tracy Chapman about “Fast Car”, I’d talk to Toni Morrison about Sula.

UKIOMOGBE: What advice do you have for people who want to be better writers?

MANS: Don’t stop. You are what you do. Continue writing and sharing, and discover new ways to fall in love with the craft. In 2017, I spent a year painting my poetry on a 6ft canvas cloth from Home Depot. I am not a painter, but I was rediscovering my love for poetry through paint and play. Play with your art, don’t make your art your servant.

UKIOMOGBE: What are some unconventional techniques you stand by?

MANS: Physical exercise prepares the mind for writing. I am a better writer when I run. I believe other art forms can improve your own. When I am searching for depth I watch painters, storytellers, musicians, and ballerinas in their techniques, I look at how their techniques can apply to my form.

UKIOMOGBE: Can great writing save the world?

MANS: That’s why god told a bunch of men to write the Bible.

At NYC Coffee Shops, Real Milk Is Popular Again

By

After years of being told alt-milks are a path to culinary nirvana, people are realizing real dairy offers more familiar benefits.
Photo: DeSean McClinton-Holland

Mankind’s newfound desire to milk everything in existence is both awe-inspiring and dystopian. Already we have milked oats and almonds. Bananas and hemp. Soy, of course, as well as coconuts, flaxseeds, sunflower kernels, rice, quinoa, and potatoes. On Gawker, Tammie Teclemariam feared her recent discovery of Califia Farms Mushroom Oat Milk Barista Blend had made her lose her mind.

Honestly, I wasn’t thinking about any of this as I traveled around Europe this summer. Instead, I drank icy frappes on the beaches of Greece and stirred foamy café au lait at the bistros of Paris. I was in a simpler, more sensible world, one without an alt mylk or nondairy creamer in sight. The real international delight, I realized, is pouring whole, full-dairy milk into your coffee; it is perhaps the most civilized activity in which a person can partake.

Surely, I thought, I’m not the only person who is realizing how good traditional milk can be? And while sitting at a café in France, I came across this perfect tweet:

I was fascinated, and when I got back to the U.S., I called Meetka, a downtown-based waitress and the author of the above message. “It started happening about two months ago,” she told me. “I noticed that I was using less and less oat milk, and going to the walk-in more and more to get whole milk.” Was this just a case of new customers, or maybe European tourists slowly returning to New York? No, it seems: “Regulars started ordering whole milk and people who I’d assume from the outside were alternative milkers were no longer fulfilling my judgments.”

Obviously, something was up. Why had people so suddenly started to turn their backs on the plant-based blends that were, at least for a time, the coolest possible thing to pour into coffee? Meetka suspects part of the problem might be bad press. “First, almond milk was too bad for the environment,” she theorizes. “Now oat milk is much too oily” — allegedly! — “but whole milk stays true to what we were told as children: calcium is good for you.”

I had to admit she might be onto something. I’ve never been diagnosed with lactose intolerance and I’m not vegan, yet I’ve spent my entire adult life switching between soy creamer, vanilla soy creamer, coconut creamer (the worst), pumpkin-spice oat creamer, Oatly, Planet Oat, and a generic hemp-milk brand from Whole Foods. Mylks have added no peace to my life, only vegetable oil, sugar, and stress when I’m in an airport or sitting at a diner wondering which milk alternative I can realistically order.

I next spoke to Caroline Hesse, a manager and cheese authority at Crown Finish Caves in Brooklyn, about how and why so many of us turned our backs on dairy in the first place, even if it was not medically necessary. Her answer edged on spiritual fulfillment. “There’s this quest for absolution in the foods we eat,” she said. “I think consumers were fed this lie by what I call the Goop Industrial Complex that if you cut dairy from your diet you will have more energy, clearer skin, and you will never ever fart ever again. But the case against dairy ignores many of the complexities of our food system, and I think people are starting to realize that.”

Suddenly my mind flashed through headlines I had seen over the years: Here’s Why Plant-Based Milks Do a Body Good; This Surprising New Milk May Help Prevent Cancer; I Must Have Plant Milk. And Oatly’s not-so-subtle advertising slogan, which is “It’s like milk but made for humans.”

With so many people claiming that alt milks are a path to dietary nirvana, Hesse posits that ordering “real” dairy milk has become an act of quiet rebellion. Hesse told me that she is picking up on a return to dairy via word of mouth. “One friend starts talking to another friend about how the luscious cream-top of full-fat Brown Cow yogurt has changed their mornings forever, and so the domino effect begins.” From there, the whisper network takes off: “I recently met someone who proudly told me that she never swapped out the whole milk that goes into her morning coffee, and I could see everyone’s ears perk up. After such a long time of nobody even considering milk, there is now something taboo and enticing about keeping it in your fridge.”

Home from Paris, I woke up in my New York apartment excited to grab some cow’s milk from my own fridge and put it into my coffee. And then it happened. While waiting for some water to boil, another dairy-glorifying tweet appeared, this time from New York’s darling downtown publicist Kaitlin Phillips:

Intrigued, I clicked over to Abraço’s website to confirm this information, and I was delighted to read the following on their home page: “We haven’t changed our menu much since we opened in 2007. We only serve organic whole milk and half&half.”

I then emailed Phillips about her tweet. She wrote back that afternoon from her Blackberry: “I don’t drink faddish milk alternatives, not that I know anything about milk. Couldn’t say what raw milk or Lactaid milk is, or what ever happened to rice milk,” she wrote. Phillips went on to explain that she had two reasons for not living in London anymore: a breakup, and the lack of half-and-half. “I like Abraço because they take the snobby barista to its logical end: You can’t order anything but half-and-half because they insist you drink coffee the correct way.” Then she added, “Not that I’m a snob. The sweating bottle of Hood half-and-half on the outer edge of an open fridge at the deli appeals to me.”

I watched my milk spin and foam up in its little frother before pouring it into my coffee, and I thought about this summer, which was supposed to be defined by hedonism but has instead been so full of disappointment for so many of us. The vibes are off, there’s fentanyl in the cocaine, and the parties are somehow both desperate and plentiful; we’re all looking to find fulfillment somewhere. Maybe milk, of all things, is an antidote to languishing, or at least a way to remember that we can all do a little less and we’ll be fine.

It reminded me of something Hesse had said at the end of our conversation. “Sometimes, all people need to be convinced that dairy is fine — and even good — is that one friend who made the switch to announce that, after they did, nothing terrible happened to them,” she’d told me. “And once people try it themselves, they realize how hungry they’ve been this entire time.”

Văn Quan – Lạng Sơn là điểm du lịch thu hút không ít dân “xê dịch” đến mỗi năm bởi vẻ dẹp núi rừng hoang sơ, mùi thơm ngào ngạt của những ngọn đồi trồng hồi bạt ngàn, đặc biệt là Lễ hội hoa Hồi.

Đến với thị trấn Văn Quan, du khách như bị choáng ngợp bởi đặc sản vùng này. Lợn quay Văn Quan, Lạng Sơn ngon nức tiếng và trở thành món ăn lan truyền trong cả nước. Lợn được quay nguyên con, vàng ruộm, giòn tan. Đây là món ăn phổ biến hàng ngày chứ không phải chỉ có lễ hội, ma chay cưới hỏi mới có.

Tiếp nữa là rượu men lá làng Hữu Lễ. Rượu Hữu Lễ cho hương vị thơm ngon, êm dịu và không gây đau đầu chính bởi nguyên liệu được sử dụng là nguyên liệu sạch cho người dân xã Hữu Lễ tự làm, tự trồng. 

Đặc biệt, một trong những đặc sản vang tiếng khắp vùng, trở thành thương hiệu của huyện Văn Quan, Lạng Sơn  phải kể đến đó là hoa hồi. 

Quả hồi được sử dụng làm thuốc cũng như gia vị trong những món ăn hàng ngày. Nhưng bởi quả hồi có 5-8 cánh giống với hình bông hoa nên được gọi phổ biến là hoa hồi. Hoa hồi Văn Quan ngày càng được biết đến nhiều hơn thông qua Lễ hội hoa Hồi. Đây được xem là một không gian văn hóa, nghệ thuật tiêu biểu của vùng.

Super Future Drops Immersive ‘Equilibria Mixtape’ on SSKWAN Ahead of EP Release [LISTEN]

The future is super for Super Future (a pun used all too often, but also true).

Nick Rowland aka Super Future, a producer dedicated to sharing his thoughtful creations and mindset within the realm of bass music, just dropped an enthralling Equilibria Mixtape via SSKWAN. The hour-long mix delves into unreleased gems from his forthcoming EP due out on the label this Thursday, August 26th and beyond.

This conscious mix goes hard in an unconventional sense, tapping into tasteful, mindful and even meditative experimental music exploration. Resonating soundscapes and ethereal, bass-laden beauty glimmer throughout, as heavy moments balance the soft, at one point reducing down to a mere heartbeat.

 

The Equilibria Mixtape celebrates a milestone accomplishment for Super Future, undoubtedly manifested, but also earned through hard work and dedication to the craft. He discusses the current state of the project with us below, as well as working with WAKAAN & SSKWAN, finding the yin to his yang, and so much more.

Listen here and scroll down to read our interview with Super Future!

Super Future – Equilibria Mixtape

For those who aren’t familiar with the project, please share what Super Future stands for and means to you…

I love when people ask this because it has never changed since its inception and it’s only becoming more true by the day. “Super Future” is the perpetual journey to a better future through sound and feeling. Persuing this is always an act of making life more positive as we go forward. A lot of people know me for my music in the heavy/experimental/trap/twerk space, but this most recent body of work is finally REALLY showing people the yin to my yang. I’ve always had a bit of a soft and more intentional side musically, but SSKWAN is giving me a real platform to let heart-opening music shine. The “Super Future” ideology is always looking ahead to a better tomorrow and is now growing with a community of people who resonate with what it sounds and feels like, which I’m incredibly thankful for. The plain and simple answer is that we’re here to make our tomorrow better, brighter, and more impactful every day. In 2022 we’re going to not only use sound to convey this but also give it a big visual component as well! I’m a futurist by nature so I’m always excited for what the tomorrow holds.

It seems your artistry has shifted in recent years, can you elaborate on that journey?

Like lots of people in my lane of dance music, I really loved the novelty of dubstep and bass and the experimental when it hit the internet and live show scene. To be honest though, I’ve been craving the other side of that, but with the same level of creativity, sound design, and flavor. I’m all about balance and I love sexy chill music just as much. My wife has a lot to do with that too haha. Lots of areas of my life have spiritual components, and in almost every sort of healthy spiritual approach, there is the pursuit of balance. Now that SSKWAN has arrived on the scene thanks to Liquid Stranger and his team, there is a new sense of novelty that I want to be part of… the kind of experimental dance music that speaks to the heart and brings deeper emotions to the forefront. As I grow in life and as a musician I see how important that is, especially after having a year like we just had. 2020 pushed me to the point of making something healing for everyone, instead of just more bass and trap music. That’s where the ‘EQUILIBRIA’ EP comes into play.

What do you hope listeners take away from your Equilibria EP and accompanying mixtape?

There are messages in the mixtape that are not found in the EP, namely the Terrence McKenna speech on the need for us to find wisdom together by turning inward, to our natural wisdom, instead of external sources. I love that so much… and I truly believe in that message. The ‘EQUILIBRIA’ EP will give people the sonic component to that sentiment. I hope the way I strung that mixtape together really reaches people emotionally. I hope it’s transformationally healing. I hope they hear the beauty and the hard work I’ve given to them, and I want them to feel something in music that they have never felt before. It’s very visceral and yet beautiful. Already strangers and friends have told me that listening to it made them process things, cry, and feel healed somehow. That’s exactly what I hope people take away from both the mixtape and the EP…. and of course, there’s always something there for the people who still need the feeling of powerful bass. It’s definitely in there but in a more intentional way. That’s the beauty of my mixes, there’s always going to be a journey through both extremes. The art is in how one designs the ride. All of it is unreleased Super Future that extends beyond my EP so I hope that gives people even more to be excited about.

How has it been working with WAKAAN / SSKWAN on this unique sound and vision?

In my eyes, WAKAAN & SSKWAN have been the ones setting the curve for experimental. I can’t just make sounds that have been made already, it’s not in my DNA. I’ve always respected them for the vision of uncompromising experimentation on their platforms, so I’m thankful to be a part of their ranks. The music they have released since the inception about 6 or 7 years ago has always been the gold standard in my eyes. They have not pandered to what’s popular on radio, or fads, and I respect that because in order to be something novel and amazing you can’t. They are becoming their own brand of what’s popular in our sliver of music culture just by defying the existing “laws” of music. I’m totally here for it. It’s funny to me that hip hop producers and poppy future bass producers are using samples and production ideas from the sound of these experimental realms to make their music stand out! Just because we set the bar on creativity here. I love their team and their camp of artists too, several of them I consider good friends. You can expect more from me on both sides of their growing music empire in the coming years, and also on their curated events.

Through the pandemic and lockdown, what are some of the biggest lessons you’ve learned as an artist?

Wooof, that is a big question. Who of us hasn’t had to reformat our whole existence as an artist after a year like that? Narrowing it down to just the artistry is tough, but I’d say some of the biggest adaptations and learnings were (1.) how to connect with your community through tools on the internet (streaming and becoming accessible) (2.) How to take time to hone in your skills and become truly original as an artist (3.) creating more streams of revenue from your desk, for instance, teaching remotely, discord, merch and mastering music, and (4.) how to persevere through a VERY tough year and still have the attitude and gratitude to take you to the top.

What else can we expect from Super Future, as one of our Artists to Watch in 2021?

A very Super Future! Haha definitely oversimplified there but true… and thank you for choosing me to be one of YourEDM’s “Artists to Watch in 2021” that was a very cool honor after such a long year. Definitely more originality and growth since I’m always working on that. I’m VERY excited about the visual and interactive components to the Super Future universe that my team and I are building for 2022. I’m writing EPs that I hope land in the house of WAKAAN & SSKWAN, certainly more downtempo music like ‘EQUILIBRIA’, EPs with other prominent bass and experimental labels that I can’t name here yet, plenty of work with old and new collaborators, definitely more fun “Ass Throwers Anonymous” party bangers with my good homie Wreckno (and YES there is a sequel mix to our first amazing ATA Vol.1 probably sooner than you think), festival sets all around the country, some touring next year, and tons of really dope merch! So much to be stoked about right now. All I can say is that my community of “Super Humans” will hear about it all first so hit my Discord or Facebook group to lock in 😉
