Do you know where your kid is? All Her Fault is Peacock’s new eight-episode thriller based on Andrea Mara’s Sunday Times bestseller. The series moves the story from Dublin to Chicago and shifts the book’s multi-POV structure into a tighter mystery led by Sarah Snook, Jake Lacy, Abby Elliott, Michael Peña, Dakota Fanning,  and Sophia Lillis. In this podcast, we unpack the big changes from page to screen (the gender-swaps, expanded storylines, and the reworked timeline), the performances, the red herrings that work, and the twists the show gives away too early. We also get into the book’s darker reveals, the series’ pacing problems, what the finale nails, what it fumbles, and our rating.

We've all seen the shirts, now there’s a show. I Love LA is HBO's new half-hour comedy about a codependent friend group in 2025 Los Angeles. Rachel Sennott stars as Maia, an associate talent manager whose life is derailed when her chaotic best friend and influencer Tallulah (Odessa A’zion) lands in LA. Across the first three episodes, we discuss the shows satire, the performances (Josh Hutcherson, Jordan Firstman, Leighton Meester etc...), and how it stacks up against series like Girls, Insecure, and Search Party. With three episodes already out, we also touch on reception, where the story seems headed, how Rachel Sennott went from internet comic to HBO creator, and some favorite bits of behind-the-scenes trivia.

The Beast in Me, Netflix’s new character-driven thriller, centers on two powerhouses: Claire Danes as novelist Aggie Wiggs, still reeling from the loss of her son, and Matthew Rhys as Nile Jarvis, the suspiciously famous new neighbor who may or may not have killed his wife. The two form an uneasy frenemy dynamic that quickly spirals into consequences. On the pod, we talk about the show’s long road to screen, key trivia, smart comparisons, what sets this series apart, the pilot’s best moments, the standout secondary characters, and our rating.

We’re covering Death by Lightning, Netflix’s four-episode retelling of President James Garfield’s assassination. Michael Shannon and Matthew Macfadyen tackle Garfield and the man hanged for killing him, Charles Guiteau. The series mixes political drama, medical tragedy, and historical recreation. Having read Destiny of the Republic, we hold the show to account: what it gets right, what it condenses, and what it flat-out invents. We break down the highlights (the 36-ballot convention, sharp lines lifted from the book, strong supporting turns from Bradley Whitford and Shea Whigham, and a well-staged shooting), along with the choices that miss the mark (compressed science, softened villains, and history buff head-scratchers).

Apple’s latest sci-fi series, Pluribus, from Vince Gilligan, picks up right where Breaking Bad. This time, instead of meth meth, humans are addicted to swapping saliva and rewriting our DNA. In true Twilight Zone spirit, the outbreak unfolds through the eyes of Carol Sturka (Rhea Seehorn), a fantasy author with rare immunity to the global hive-mind consciousness. On the pod, we unpack the best and worst moments, the realisticness of the scenario, the cameos, comparisons, theories, and of course, our rating.

We cover Robin Hood on MGM+, the gritty new take on the legendary outlaw that trades green tights for darker realism. Set in 1186, before King Richard’s crusades, it stars Sean Bean as a morally murky Sheriff of Nottingham and newcomer Max Woolf as Rob of Loxley, whose father’s execution sparks a familiar rebellion. We talk through the first two episodes (“I See Him” and “A Heinous Devil”), from fairy lore and CGI stags to English politics, over-ripe dialogue, and the long wait Rob's journey from regular Saxon to the infamous Robin Hood. Tune in to hear our rating, comparisons, and other thoughts. Welcome to Today’s Episode!

Apple’s latest thriller starts with relatively small stakes: a house explosion with one survivor, a young girl named Dinah, catches the notice of an Oxford art conservator played by Ruth Wilson (The Affair, His Dark Materials). On her search for the child’s whereabouts and the suspicious circumstances around the blast, she enlists the help of a two-headed detective agency. That’s where the conspiracy takes hold, the bodies start adding up, and the other main character, Zoë, played by Emma Thompson, joins the fray. On this podcast, we review the first two episodes and discuss our thoughts, observations, and hopes for the rest of the series.

BOO! It is back. Well… not Pennywise, not yet. But if the first and last ten minutes of this new Stephen King prequel series teach us anything, it’s that you don’t need Bill Skarsgård to show Derry, Maine as a full-blown nexus of evil. Kids should probably skip this one, but fans of horror should not. On the podcast, we break down the 53-minute pilot: plot points, expectations, standout moments, comparisons, reception, and the weird trivia we picked up along the way. I’ll say right off the bat, between The Music Man and the show’s heavy reliance on turtles, it had me from the jump. That said, hear our thoughts and let us know what you think.

The title that just won’t die, go figure. This version of Lazarus stars Bill Nighy and Sam Claflin, and although it’s a British production, it’s helmed by one of America’s most prolific authors, Harlan Coben. The premise is simple: a psychologist who can speak to the undead is morally bound to uncover the truth behind how they met their ultimate ends.

If you’ve ever seen a ghost story before (Archive 81, The Haunting, Tru Calling, etc.) you know exactly what you’re signing up for. Tune in to hear our breakdown of the pilot, our rating, and our thoughts on the directorial choices and more.
