Boob Tube!

OK, so they're rich white guys with problems, but at least they're REAL problems: Patrick Melrose is a drug addict who survived a traumatic childhood, and over on The Staircase (or is it The Suitcase?) Michael Petersen maaaay have killed his wife (but wait until you get a load of the alternative theory). Plus, is it time to throw in the towel on some of Netflix's revivals and long-running shows?

Shows Discussed: Patrick Melrose, The Staircase, Arrested Development, The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, and ... Suits!

Amanda and Sarah talk about one of the greatest TV finales of all time, and theorize as to why it's always so cold on The Americans. And Sarah watched the first episode of Ryan Murphy's new show, Pose.

This week we're talking television's favorite psychopaths—man, murder was hot this spring! Now that we're moving to summer, what's next? Maybe some good old-fashioned money laundering and drug cartels? Don't get your hopes up! Amanda teases us with juicy "Suits" talk, and Sarah pays the price for having briefly bought into "Roseanne" nostalgia.

Shows Discussed: The Americans, Killing Eve, Barry

After Twitter* erupted in protest at the canceling of the beloved cop sitcom Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Amanda gave Sarah a homework assignment: She needed to suspend her snobby and highbrow television habits** and watch this great show. The result? A discussion about depictions of male emotional maturity and what it means to have a sitcom about the police in 2018.

*OK, parts of Twitter

**rewatching all of "ER"

Shows discussed: Brooklyn Nine-Nine

Also: Atlanta, Barry, Killing Eve

OK, Amanda didn't watch a whole lot on her travels, but give her a break, she only has one foot now. She still made time for Joel McHale (as well as the sexiest lord of hell on network television). Sarah acknowledges that The Handmaid's Tale is incredibly bleak and depressing, but you know—the good kind of bleak and depressing!

Shows discussed: The Joel McHale Show with Joel McHale, The Handmaid's Tale, The Americans, Lucifer

If you haven't watched Babylon Berlin, you should ask yourself "Warum?" This week, we're talking history and mystery. Incredible music and bonkers set design. Communists and Nazis. Hot detectives and what it means when Sarah says "the culmination of that person's plot."

Shows discussed: Killing Eve, The Chi, Babylon Berlin

It's 2001 all over again baby, because TRADING SPACES is back on the air! (Sarah and Amanda have much better hair now, though.) Our hosts posit the question: How many Donald Sutherland sex scenes can an audience reasonably be expected to endure? And we're sorry to inform you that you're probably going to have to add BBC America to your current cable package.

Shows discussed: Jessica Jones, Trust, Trading Spaces, Killing Eve

He may have an upset tummy from the car ride, but Richard Ayoade sounds like a hilarious travel buddy. And the jokes in the 'Roseanne' reboot might be funny, but being asked to feel bad for Trump voters might leave you feeling a little queasy.

Shows discussed: Travel Man, Roseanne, The Americans, Jessica Jones, Babylon Berlin

That X-Files finale? Oh boy oh boy do we ever hear you. Unsurprisingly, we have some things to say about it, and some of its hilariously questionable lines ("Have you seen the internet?"). Don't worry, though, we've also watched some other stuff. Sarah tells us why cults are the hottest spring trend, and Amanda makes plans for a murder-mystery rating project.

Shows discussed: The X-Files, The Assassination of Gianni Versace, Hinterland, Wild Wild Country, Nailed It!

Amanda discovers the horrors (and joys!) of German television. What are Germans into these days, anyway? Sarah wonders why there aren't more women in high-end food docs (well, we know why), and our hosts argue over the value of real estate porn.

Shows Discussed: Dark, Ugly Delicious, The World's Most Extraordinary Homes
