Ciudad de sombras/City of Shadows

For our last review of 2025, we check in on the pilot of Ciudad de Sombras (City of Shadows), the Spanish crime series based on the novel El Verdugo de Gaudí, set in Barcelona in 2010. The series opens with a public murder staged at a Gaudí landmark, pulling disgraced detective Milo back into the force while he’s still reeling from personal trauma and stuck with a new partner. On the podcast, we break down the hard-boiled tone, our crime-thriller comparisons, the show’s not-so-subtle promotion of Barcelona’s architecture and history, early reception, and our final rating.
Tune in. Welcome to Today’s Episode!

The Abandons is Netflix’s new Western, created by Sons of Anarchy showrunner Kurt Sutter and set in the 1850s Washington Territory, where devout rancher Fiona Nolan (Lena Headey) and ruthless mine owner Constance Van Ness (Gillian Anderson) collide over land, power, and the fate of their families.
On the podcast, we discuss the 50-minute pilot, from the cattle wildfire to the Romeo-and-Juliet love story. We also talk Sutter’s exit from the show, the rumored extra-long “Sutter cut” of the premiere, and how his usual strengths and bad habits show up here. Tune in to hear our comparisons, rating, and trivia. Welcome to Today’s Episode!

What is dead may never die… wait, wrong show, but same concept. It’s December 2025 and Spartacus is back on Starz with Spartacus: House of Ashur, a sequel that takes one of the most hated villains in the show’s run, resurrects him from hell, and hands him everything he’s ever wanted. If that sounds weird, it very much is. On the podcast, we discuss the first two episodes, how they compare to the original series, and the familiar mix of stylized dialogue, gratuitous nudity, and slow-mo carnage. It’s a new era, so there’s a new crop of gladiators, as well as nods to those who didn’t survive. Tune in to hear our thoughts. Welcome to Today’s Episode!

“Livvy Sees the Doctor” is the eighth installment of Watson’s 20-episode second season. It’s written into the contract of every hospital drama that there must be a hostage episode, and this was theirs.

On the podcast, we discuss Fitz, a troubled vet whose daughter has been bounced from misdiagnosis to mystery illness for months on end. Not anymore. Strapped into a handmade explosive suit with a dead-man’s trigger, Fitz is demanding answers.

Between twists, wild medical leaps, neck stabs, and a huge narcissist, we break down the episode’s best and worst moments, dig into the characters, and land on our ultimate rating.

Tune in and enjoy!

There’s a new streaming service out called The Network, and it just dropped a new series, The Artist. Set in 1906 Rhode Island, the show follows Norman and Marian Henry (Mandy Patinkin and Janet McTeer), a powerful but couple in a rocky marriage whose estate becomes ground zero for a murder mystery. Part upstairs/downstairs drama and part absurd comedy, it brings a modern, loosely improvised energy to period TV in a way that sits somewhere between The Great and Dickinson. The ensemble includes Danny Huston as Edgar Degas and Hank Azaria as Thomas Edison, and in the premiere their storylines. Tune in to hear our pros, cons, comparisons, and rating.
