A murder franchise finds its Monsters- and they're us
MIDWAY THROUGH MONSTER: THE ED GEIN STORY, the title character stares into the camera and warns: “You shouldn't be watching this.” He’s talking to two strangers who've interrupted him in the bloody aftermath of a murder. But the closeup makes it clear that Gein, played with eerie gentleness by Charlie Hunnam, is also addressing his audience of Netflix viewers. Then he revs his chainsaw and chases the men. Of course, we keep watching. In the next scene, Gein offers the spectacle of a dead, nude woman, strung up like a carcass in a slaughterhouse.

Slow Horses gets an explosive sister show
In the premiere of Down Cemetery Road, a desperate woman walks into a private investigator's office. “Let me guess,” says the detective, Zoë Boehm (Emma Thompson). “You've got a husband. He's got a secretary. Am I warm?” She is not. Neither a film-noir femme fatale nor a jealous housewife, Sarah Trafford (Ruth Wilson) has come for help in solving a mystery that has little to do with her own life. Her initially inexplicable obsession sets the tone for Apple's unusually humane conspiracy thriller.

My eight years in conversion therapy
WHEN I FIRST STARTED CONVERSION THERAPY AT AGE 19, I thought I was pursuing healing for what I was led to believe was broken in me. I didn’t want to erase myself. I wanted peace. I wanted to stop feeling like my faith and my sexuality were at war with one another. I sought it out of my own accord. My parents and pastors didn’t force me into therapy, but everything in the culture around me convinced me it was my only option.

5 things therapists wish every kid knew
You never know what's going to stick in the littlest minds. \"Sometimes I'll have kids tell me something their grandmother or coach said—and it might be something that the rest of us would shrug off, but for that child, it really made an impact,\" says Amy Morin, a therapist and author of 13 Things Strong Kids Do. That's why it's important for parents to get into the habit of repeating the nuggets of wisdom that they hope will become mantras bouncing around in their kids' minds for years to come. We asked Morin and other therapists to share the easy-to-remember gems they wish every kid knew.

MACHINE LOVING
Many modern relationships start with a phone notification—a text from the stranger from last night, a delightful chime that you're a match, a haptic vibrating your hand.
