Hari Nef, Clive James, & Nadja Spiegelman

Studio 360

Revered British critic Clive James aims his razor wit at the golden age of cable drama — and he finds that even shows with dragons deserve some respect. Plus, Nadja Spiegelman grew up in a family that encourages artistic expression — her mother is the New Yorker’s art editor and her father is the author of “Maus.” But when she started writing a memoir about her mother’s family, she discovered that not all truth-telling is welcome. And the trans actress Hari Nef lands the role of a lifetime, straight out of college.
