TV For President

Between the incredible cast and the creative team behind the show, most of us were excited about for season one of Friends From College....until we watched it. Though Mark is usually the champion for watching bad shows hoping they get better, this time it's Shreya that has taken on the role of hot mess advocate...which leads us to this discussion of Friends From College, season two. It's funnier and sharper than the first, but is it enough to make up for the show's many shortcomings and what is the series trying to say with all these awful characters anyway?

Otis's mother is a sex therapist which means that even though he hasn't had a single successful sexual experience (including on his own), he is extremely educated on the matter and finds himself in the position to help his fellow students. Sex Education is as charming as it is raunchy, a coming of age comedy with a memorable assortment of characters, insightful conversations and some terrific performances. But that doesn't mean we loved everything about it. This week, we talk about the many highs and some significant lows of Netflix's first breakout hit of the year, its use of tropes, the effectiveness of certain pheromones and since we recorded this before the renewal was announced, we also talk about whether or not we want a season two (note: Mark always wants more seasons of everything).

We're back for another season of talking all things TV and what better way to start off than with the first TV obsession of 2019? Or the last TV obsession of 2018, depending on when you  binged it. Or maybe you were even one of the few who watched it on Lifetime like Mark. Either way, we have plenty to say about Joe Goldberg, Guinivere Beck, Peach Salinger, Karen Minty, stalking, bad fans, curtains and the lack of them and much more. We're glad to be back!

We've finished our binge of Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and we liked it!….but we have some notes. Find out which characters were our favorites, which character (and actor) we didn't care for so much (we get a little mean, honestly) and find out what made Mark say "I'm alarmed to have this opinion." And lots of other thoughts about witch law, Satanism and what worked/what didn't.

Sometimes you want to enjoy an episode about the holiday itself and other times you're just looking for TV to evoke certain feelings during the start of the holiday season. What shows or episodes do you like to turn on while the leaves change outside and you sit down with a plate of leftovers? Here are a few of our favorites and we'd love to hear about yours. Happy Thanksgiving!

It could be argued (and we pretty much do) that Bojack Horseman is the best show currently on TV. This week, Shreya talks about her love for the show, Mark talks about overcoming his animation bias to become a Bojack believer and we talk about all the hilarious and gut wrenching things that make this show so special and unique. We also talk about great guest stars, some of favorite episodes and story arcs and get into some of the controversies and how the show has evolved over the course of five seasons.

Happy Halloween! We're back and talking about all the TV that's terrified us through the years plus some of our favorites Halloween episodes.

There may be no show more ambitious or insightful on all of television than The Good Place. Not only is it smart, hopeful, challenging and daring, it also happens to be very funny.Using everything from very intellectual humor to low-brow jokes and brilliant sight gags, the NBC sitcom is always able to earn MANY laughs in the midst of it's heady subject matter. We love this show and are so excited about the new season so this week, we decided to talk all about it.

From the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina to Julia Roberts' TV debut, we talk about all the new and returning TV we're most excited about coming this fall. What about the ones we're much less excited about? Yeah, we get to those too, plus the show that Mark thinks looks bad but knows he'll totally be watching.

This week at the Emmys, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel won big (a result we have very different feelings about) but The Americans was overlooked in key categories (we're both pretty rageful about this one).  We talk about the show, the best moments, the many bad moments and all the biggest awards of the night.
