Margo’s Got Money Troubles (Apple TV, S1)

📣 Vancouver 📣 I will be moderating a panel discussion following the screening of A Sad and Beautiful World downtown on the evening of Friday May 1, which was Lebanon’s submission to the 2026 Oscars. A portion of ticket sales will go toward mutual aid for those whose lives have been upended by Israel’s invasion and bombardment. I am also told there will be food! Get your tickets here and come hang out with me.


“Do you think Sam Levinson is pissed Margo’s Got Money Troubles is exploring OnlyFans in a more nuanced and interesting way compared to whatever the hell is going on in Euphoria,” a friend DM’d me the other day. I couldn’t stop thinking about the comparison. I do know the wrinkles between my eyebrows have been deepening as I frown aggressively at everything going on related to that in Euphoria while I write my recaps, while Margo’s Got Money Troubles may already be one of the best shows of the year.
