Sierra Burgess is a Loser may have gotten 64% on Rotten Tomatoes, but it gets 0% from us. Neighbors (2014) and Neighbours, the long-running Australian soap opera, are two drastically different things. Ann loves American Vandal and wants more mysteries about shit that isn’t murder. Also: why is The Good Wife the only good CBS show?…
