About En Rose

Television rewards patience, and so does writing about it. En Rose covers scripted series, limited runs and the performers who carry them with the attention a film critic gives a two-hour picture, stretched across ten episodes. Readers here care about craft: how a scene was blocked, why a season sags in its fifth hour, what a showrunner changed between the pilot and the pickup.

Our main form is the profile, written the old way, with time on set, time in a room and questions about the work. Nobody is asked to confirm a rumor about a marriage. Criticism carries a verdict, because a review that refuses to say whether the thing is any good is not a review. Screeners are watched to the end before anyone types a word. Embargoes are kept, and access is never traded for a kinder tone.

Celebrity here means a career rather than a scandal, and Profiles is where those careers get the long treatment. Television follows series as they run, week to week. Screen widens to film, documentary and streaming features, while Criticism holds the arguments: canon, form, the case for and against a beloved show. Production reports the craft below the line, from writers rooms to shooting schedules. TV News files renewals, cancellations and casting as they happen, and Business News handles the ledger of licensing, subscribers and carriage that decides which shows get a second season.

En Rose is published by VUGA Media Group, one of the titles in the VUGA Enterprises Network.
