FX and Sterlin Harjo team up again for The Lowdown. We dig into the first two episodes—“The Sensitive Kind” and “The Devil’s Mama”—of this Oklahoma dark comedy/noir. Ethan Hawke’s battered “truthstorian” Lee Raybon chases the skeletons in the Washberg family’s closet. From a sus “suicide” to dodging neo-Nazi haymakers, we break down what worked, what didn’t, our favorite moments, and how it connects (and doesn’t) to Reservation Dogs. Shout-outs to the acting, some Tulsa texture, and a bunch o...
Though this miniseries may have taken the fact it's a dark comedy with the title Black Rabbit a little too literally, judging by the lack of lighting, Netflix’s latest is an intriguing blend of restaurant drama, heist thriller, and thorny family saga. In the pilot, “The Cyclone,” we follow two brothers, Jake and Vince, as they reunite just as their NYC restaurant is about to expand. From a botched robbery to a visit from a New York Times food critic to looming money trouble, we run through th...

After a presidential frontrunner is assassinated mid-speech, his widow—former diplomat Seo Mun-ju (Jun Ji-hyun)—steps into the race and quickly lands in the crosshairs. Enter action hero Baek San-ho (Gang Dong-won), an agent with a murky past, plus an American side story led by Anderson Miller (John Cho). We recap the premiere arc (Eps. 1–3), weigh the obvious comparisons (Bodyguard, The Diplomat, a dash of Citadel), call out our favorite/least favori...

It stars Robin Wright as Laura, a high-powered gallery owner, whose world starts unraveling when her son Daniel brings home Cherry (Olivia Cooke), a charming new girlfriend who may not be what she seems.

Task is HBO’s latest gritty crime thriller from Mare of Easttown creator Brad Ingelsby.

On the pod, we recap the pilot, break down the cast, trade comparisons (Ozark, Dope Thief, and Under the Banner of Heaven), call out the best and worst moments, and land on our rating. ...
Peacock returns to the Office-verse with The Paper. Set in a Toledo, Ohio newsroom, the 32-minute pilot introduces a new cast (besides Oscar) and follows Ned Sampson, a freshly minted editor in chief with big ideals, as he tries to ditch clickbait and data mining for real local reporting. After meeting the oddball staff, he clashes with the former interim managing editor, sparking a turf war over what a modern paper should be. On the pod, we compare it to other NBC classics like The Office an...
Jonas Pate walked outside with his family one day in Wilmington, North Carolina, and said… let’s make a band. Then he X-Factor-auditioned 5,000 kids and pieced together The Runarounds. Now that same band is playing fictional versions of themselves in a brand-new teen music drama that dropped September 1. It’s not a direct Outer Banks spin-off, but it does take place in the same universe. On the podcast, we review the hour-long pilot, which follows Charlie Cooper and his bandmates post-graduat...
The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox is now streaming on Hulu. In this podcast, we discuss the first three installments (“Amanda,” “Ci vediamo più tardi,” and “The Guardian of Perugia”) of K.J. Steinberg’s limited series, which dramatizes the early days of Knox’s arrest, interrogation, and time behind bars following the 2007 murder of Meredith Kercher. We talk performances, direction, accuracy vs. embellishment, and how this version compares to Amanda’s own memoir Waiting to Be Heard. From coercio...
The Terminal List: Dark Wolf rewinds the clock to chart Ben Edwards’ (Taylor Kitsch) path from SEAL to CIA operative. Set in 2015 during the real-life Inherent Resolve campaign, the series gives us Iraq, covert missions, bombings, and more uses of the word “brother” than a Desmond Hume highlight reel. We cover the three-episode premiere (“Inherent Resolve,” “The Audition,” “What’s Past Is Prologue”), how it compares to The Terminal List, and our rating. Tune in and enjoy. Welcome to...
Netflix’s Long Story Short, created by BoJack Horseman’s Raphael Bob-Waksberg, is a time-hopping animated family comedy.

After years of silence, USA scripted TV is back with a one-off legal-drama throwback based on John Grisham’s 1995 novel The Rainmaker. After a young paralegal gets canned from a big firm, plan B lands him at an ambulance-chasing, Better Call Saul–type outfit where clients are scarce. Starring Milo Callaghan as Rudy Baylor, we review the hour long pilot, what’s changed from the book/film, and how it stacks up against other shows in the genre (Presumed Innocent, The Lincoln Lawyer, and Suits). ...
Jason Momoa leads this Hawaiian historical epic about rival kingdoms, brutal power struggles, and the rise of Kamehameha the Great.

From cliff dives and shark hunts to pirate markets and prophecies, this series unique pacing brings sweeping action along with cultu...
In space, no one can hear you scream—but on Earth, we can! Alien: Earth, FX’s ambitious new prequel series from Noah Hawley (Fargo, Legion), crash-lands into the Alien universe with hybrid synths, trillionaire tech bros, slurpy space leeches, zombie cats, and—of course—a Black Sabbath soundtrack. Set in 2120—two years before Ridley Scott’s original (he was busy with Dope Thief)—we follow Wendy (darling), a hybrid child with a superhuman body, as she teams up with her Avenger-esque crew to aid...
Time flies when you’re time traveling. It’s been 11 years since Outlander first premiered on Starz, and the prequel is here to keep the franchise’s blood pumping. Blood of My Blood follows the stories of Jamie and Claire’s parents. Naturally, the next spin-off will probably trace their grandparents and great-grandparents until we discover everyone is related and Scottish. Take that, 23andMe. Premiering August 8, the show’s first two episodes introduce both love stories, one set in WWI England...
Set in postwar 1946 London, Bookish follows bibliophile Gabriel Book, who runs a secondhand shop and solves crimes through his encyclopedic literary knowledge.

In this podcast, we discuss the first story (2 episodes), the mystery, the characters, the humor, and how it compares to other shows like The Jetty, Mon...

Netflix’s División Palermo (Community Squad) took home the 2024 International Emmy for Best Comedy. Created by and starring Santiago Korovsky, this Argentinian comedy follows Felipe, a mild-mannered Jewish man placed in a PR-driven “Urban Guard” alongside various misfits, including a one-armed playwright, a blind sharpshooter, and two real cops.
