Chicago Fire: What's Inside You (2022)
Yes, this is nitpicky...
You do NOT make TX brisket on a Weber grill. Have any of the writers ever talked to anyone who makes brisket? TX style brisket is known for being cooked low and slow, in a smoker. It's a 12 to 18 hour process, depending on the size of the brisket, the smoker, and the pit master techniques.
Also, I suppose it's possible that some pit master somewhere uses cumin, but that seems very unusual -- I've never heard of anyone doing that. The best brisket in the world -- Franklin, in Austin, TX -- is seasoned with really high quality salt and pepper.
Fifteen minutes of Googling would have provided this information, so I'm sorry - I need to give the writers a big fail for not bothering to make sure they had facts concerning something they obviously aren't knowledgeable about.
Better Things: The World Is Mean Right Now (2022)
I generally love this show
But in some episodes, like this one, one of the kids (in this case, Frankie,) behaves like such an egregious s**tface, that I find it painful to watch. I should say that I have sympathy for Sam, which I do, but I feel like her character simply didn't set any boundaries for these kids, and she generally lets them talk to her however they want, act however they want, and do whatever they want. They keep doing it because there are never any consequences for any of their antics. I hope her actual daughters are better, more compassionate, more thoughtful humans than the characters that are loosely based on them.
