Lindsay King | The Next Great Generation

lindsayking

After graduating from BU in 2010 with a degree in advertising, I dove deep into the mire of food servitude, chatting up tourists and defining mignonette and chiffonade, all the while plotting my escape into copywriting. While doing so, I spent--and still spend--my time traveling, writing, baking, and kickboxing. I have been to over 20 countries, know more about TV and media than my mother thinks is healthy, and have a profound fondness for parallel syntax and parenthetical asides. I also write the weekly Down the Tubes TV column for TNGG. Twitter: @lapetiteking

Beyond the gore, what else does The Walking Dead have going for it, other than the fact that it’s available on Netflix Instant Watch and Comcast OnDemand? Lindsay explains.

I cracked open my self-imposed horror movie ban for American Horror Story, a much buzzed-about TV show, new on FX.

Starring Amy Poehler as the enthusiastic and almost perpetually sugar-high Leslie Knope, the rest of the cast fills out the funny as her mostly-unwilling crew. Put it in your queue!
