Watch my first theory video of the season for #TheBuccaneers on #AppleTVPlus as I examine some of the context clues that could tell us whether or not Nan figured out the truth about Nell on her own terms, if she's just thinking things are a little SUS, or if she has no idea at all.

From ⁠‪AppleTV‬: In the first season of “The Buccaneers," a group of fun-loving young American girls exploded into the tightly corseted London of the 1870s…setting hearts racing and kicking off an Anglo-American culture clash. Now the Buccaneers are no longer the invaders - England is their home. In fact they’re practically running the place. Nan is the Duchess of Tintagel, the most influential woman in the country. Conchita is Lady Brightlingsea, heroine to a wave of young American heiresses. And Jinny is on every front-page, wanted for the kidnap of her unborn child. All of the girls have been forced to grow up and now have to fight to be heard, as they wrestle with romance, lust, jealousy, births and deaths... themes consuming all women of any age, no matter what year it is. Last time we got a taste of England. This time we’re in for a veritable feast.

Here's my reaction & review of The Buccaneers Season 2, Episode 1 now streaming on Apple TV Plus!

I had the absolute pleasure of chatting with the incredibly talented, Tony Award-winning Lena Hall, who plays Ali (Coop’s sister) in "Your Friends & Neighbors" on ‪Apple TV+, starring Jon Hamm. She’s easily the most likable character on the whole show! Lena brings depth, heart, comedy, and a bit of edge to her role—and in this interview, we cover it all:

🎶 Her musical vibes and creative process 🧠 Mental health and self-expression 📺 Her experience on the show ✨ Embracing imperfection and authenticity 🎬 What it was like working with Jon Hamm …and so much more!I hope you love this candid conversation as much as I did! 💥 Don’t forget to watch my Season 1 Episode 9 finale review of "Your Friends and Neighbors" for even more insights and reactions.
