Claire Danes & Pop Tarts
The TV news this week is extra sweet with the announcement that Claire Danes will star in a new drama series, reuniting with her Homeland creator. I think I’ve binged this series three times now, and Carrie Mathison is still one of my favorite television characters. Also dropping is the new trailer for Jerry Seinfeld’s new movie, Unfrosted about the birth of the pop tart. I love an Americana breakfast food story.
