Victor and Sona discuss the latest episode of AppleTV+'s 'Your Friends and Neighbors'. There is a lot of plot, this week, awkwardly interspersed into some very effective character moments. We are still curious to understand the shape of the remainder of the season. The police have multiple new leads that may point back at Coop and more and more people know about his criminal activities. And we all know that he is just days away from waking up in a pool of someone else's blood.

Sona and Victor discuss the latest episode of 'Your Friends and Neighbors'. We are still completely on board with watching these rich narcissists making terrible decisions having no appreciation for the luxuries around them. I still wonder if this is actually a period piece before ring cameras became standard equipment on every home.
