The Crossover is based on a Newbery-award winning book by Kwame Alexander, told in verse. I’ll be interested to see how much of his poetic approach they try to reflect in the series. Anyway, it’s about twins who are junior-high basketball phenoms, and I feel like they must have timed this to arrive on the heels of the men’s and women’s college championships, right? For the amateur** sports and YA fans in your life. Look, Sabrina Revelle up there even came dressed as the letter Y, and also, in fact, as, “Eh?”

** Amateur in the technical and financial sense. They hustle like pros.
