Sona and I discuss the most recent episode of Hijack which ends with quite the shock.

Sona and I discuss my recent travels which pairs nicely with our recap conversation about the AppleTV+ series, Hijack.

What is outside the silo? Juliette is about to find out.

But first, lots of recommendations relating to the current season of Black Mirror.

Here is my commentary on the rest of the season of the Bear. After the simultaneous highlight and lowlight of episode 6 we get a truly brilliant episode 7 before the season nicely lands while setting up stakes for (a nearly certain) season 3.

The Beef becomes The Bear and the show gets an upgrade, to boot.

Silo approaches it's endgame. Black Mirror delivers a mixed back of mostly good episodes. An improvement over the last season, but still short of the show's first 3 seasons where these scripts rarely missed.

Sona and I have watched all of Peacocks new crime comedy, Based on a True Story. We both think it's under-baked but she does recommend it more than I do.

Before that, I defend HBO's The Idol. It's a failed experiment but is still going for something and may need a reassessment when we get to the end of the season (for better or worse).

Bernard seeks Juliette's cooperation as he grows increasingly concerned about the silo's security. Juliette asks her father for a favor. Gloria knows many secrets.

Plus I (mostly) love the new Spider-Man movie.

And, Silo makes me think of some other dystopian visions of the future. I recommend 3.
