The Third Estate Sunday Review focuses on politics and culture. We're an online magazine. We don't play nice and we don't kiss butt. In the words of Tuesday Weld: "I do not ever want to be a huge star. Do you think I want a success? I refused "Bonnie and Clyde" because I was nursing at the time but also because deep down I knew that it was going to be a huge success. The same was true of "Bob and Carol and Fred and Sue" or whatever it was called. It reeked of success."

Saturday Guilty Pleasure
The Firm started off too convoluted and eager not to resolve anything. It did have a stunning performance from Juliette Lewis. Weeks later, she's still stunning.
But the thing is, now the show is as well. That includes Josh Lucas who has grown considerably in the role over 13 episodes.
All the disparate strands are coming together to form a lean and taunt thriller.
NBC has moved to the show to Saturdays because they don't believe it but that's actually a gift to those who've long wished that the networks would return to programming Saturdays.
Those who can't catch it on Saturdays for whatever reason should remember you can stream The Firm online at NBC.
