What solidifies a TV show as one of the greats? To investigate, Ashley recruits comedian Kareem Rahma to help judge the great shows of the peak TV era. They ask, “Can a TV show be great in spite of a terrible last season?” *cough* Game of Thrones *cough*. Plus, they dive into some juicy White Lotus theories, Kareem gives a controversial Black Mirror opinion, and they debate if E.R. or Grey’s Anatomy has the hottest hospital show cast.   What We Watched: Fleishman is in Trouble Mo Ramy The Bear Mythic Quest That 70s Show Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown Girls Mad Men LOST The Leftovers The Sopranos Breaking Bad Game of Thrones White Lotus American Horror Story Black Mirror The Wire Grey’s Anatomy E.R.   Homework: Star Trek: Prodigy Big Mouth Pam & Tommy Paper Girls The League   Wanna join TV Club?
