Oh, the show is about hunting MINDS, m-i-n-d ... that makes a lot more sense! But is it worth getting back into the game of tracking serial killers for a second season of Mindhunter? Sarah has the verdict. Amanda jumps back in the ring for a third season of GLOW, and is here to tell you that it's good if you JUST STOP BINGING EVERYTHING FOR GOD'S SAKE JUST SLOW DOWN——

Ahem. Plus, we check back in with the final season of Orange Is the New Black before stepping away from Netflix and jumping into the latest dispatch from Trash TV Town (though it's not actually that trashy). Join us for our latest episode and be very quiet; we're hunting mimes.

Shows discussed: Mindhunter, GLOW, Orange Is the New Black, Blood & Treasure, This Way Up

Sarah is convinced that if last summer's HBO sleeper hit was Succession, maybe this summer's is Euphoria, an intoxicating (see what we did there?), glittery show about extremely cool teens. Will it make you feel old? Probably. Are there still feelings and experiences you can relate to? Also probably! Amanda checks back in with a previous pick of hers, Derry Girls, which has a new season out on Netflix. There are teens here too, but these ones are living in Northern Ireland during the Troubles of the 1990s, avoiding car bombs on the way to school. While maybe not as strong as the first batch of episodes, these ones remain hilarious and at times poignant, and will still have you reaching for the closed captioning button to decipher those accents. The pick of the week is clearly the premiere of HBO's A Black Lady Sketch Show, please put this podcast down and go watch it immediately, thank you.

Shows Discussed: Euphoria, Derry Girls, A Black Lady Sketch Show, Detroiters

Sometimes, a show's second season don't end nearly as well as it starts, and you wonder, "Why didn't she destroy the train set earlier?" and also, "Why?"

Sometimes, you aren't even sure whether you'll watch a show that's coming back after years away, but you wind up saying, "Hey, that was fun!"

And sometimes, a show is the third season of Stranger Things and you're like, "I mean, I guess?"

We've been gone a whole month, and in that time we've formed some Opinions about the latest installments of Big Little Lies, Veronica Mars and Stranger Things. Plus, Amanda has some very positive things to say about a certain reality show that is a perfect blend of class-based tension and pure Bravo-brand trashiness.

Shows discussed: Big Little Lies, Veronica Mars, Stranger Things, Below Deck Mediterranean, Four Weddings and a Funeral

Ok it's easier to lose track of time as the days get longer, so it has been a full MONTH since we last talked TV, but my what a month it's been. Sarah hits you with micro-reviews of a few different shows and tries with a not-great amount of effort to get you into at least one of the new Black Mirror episodes. Amanda follows that up with a check-in on the less-buzzy second season of Killing Eve. Finally the spicy, spicy meat of this episode: the new installment of Big Little Lies, we're pleased to report it's just as meme-worthy and compulsively watchable as it was last year.

Shows Discussed: Black Mirror, Tales of the City, When They See Us, Killing Eve, Big Little Lies

Some bad news this week: Sarah broke her promise and started watching Chernobyl, and ABC is definitely *not* bringing back that one show. We talk about the sadness of Jared Harris and the terrors of 1986, and then move from Ukraine to Laguna Beach. No, not to talk about that reality show; we're talking about the Netflix series Dead to Me, a show about grief and female friendship that is part thriller and part dark comedy. (Spoiler protections are in place.) But one place we're not going to go is 1990s Boston with Ben Affleck and a guy with a fake Boston accent.

Shows discussed: Dead to Me, Chernobyl, Easy, Vida, City on a Hill

I mean, we'll see what the next six months throw at us, we're not ones to doubt the power of Peak TV, but....yes, it almost certainly is. We discuss the devastating genius of Phoebe Waller-Bridge's limited series, which will make you cry, laugh, and gasp all in the same scene (occasionally the same *sentence*). Seriously folks, don't sleep on this one. Sarah heartily endorses the second season of HBO's Barry, and Amanda has a revelation that will shock and embarrass us all.

Shows Discussed: Fleabag, Barry, Catch-22

Were you missing anthropomorphic cartoon animals dealing with serious issues as much as we were? You're in luck, because Lisa Hanawalt, the illustrator and producer of Bojack Horseman, has a new Netflix series about two birds, Tuca and Bertie, and it's one of our favorites of the year. If you haven't watched it yet, well, nothing is stopping you (but we avoid "spoilers" anyway). And if a songthrush and a toucan's evolving friendship isn't weird enough for you, may we recommend the sketch comedy show I Think You Should Leave? We also talk Fosse/Verdon and, no joke, hoops.

Shows discussed: Tuca and Bertie, I Think You Should Leave, Fosse/Verdon, NBA Playoffs

One of our favorite (but criminally under-appreciated!) shows comes to a satisfying end, albeit an end that Amanda managed to watch all out of order. Oh well, there's always the next Rachel Bloom project, hopefully coming to us sooner rather than later. What We Do in the Shadows continues to get better and better, and Killing Eve kicks off its second season with, well, a few murders obviously, but also an incredible guest turn from The Mighty Boosh's Julian Barratt (yeah he's probably been in other things since then, but we're American, how would we know?)

Shows Discussed: Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Killing Eve, Better Things, What We Do in the Shadows, The Chi, Abby

In case you can't get enough of the machinations of self-serving and occasionally inept politicians, Veep is back for its seventh season! We discuss why the show has remained a favorite (and maybe even a comfort?) during this particular political era, and Amanda also talks about another show well-suited to these times: Superstore, a workplace comedy that manages to be pretty honest about working-class issues. Plus, Sarah goes deep into The Case Against Adnan Syed, and we sink our teeth into the first episode of What We Do in the Shadows.

Shows discussed: The Case Against Adnan Syed, What We Do in the Shadows, Superstore, Veep

This week, we bid farewell to Catastrophe, which is such an absolute gem of a show, one that has always been brutally, painfully honest but hysterically funny about the highs and low lows of marriage and parenthood. Then we say hello to a newcomer, Hulu's Shrill. We wish the series could have had more time to unfold, but it's a delight for many reasons, Aidy Bryant's performance and the unapologetic look at what it's like to be a fat woman just trying to live her best life, chief among them.

Shows Discussed: Catastrophe, Shrill, Queer Eye, Last Week Tonight, The Act
