April 24, 2025 The Last of Us - S2 | Episode 2
This week on Watching Now, we’re strapping on our backpacks, loading up our emotional baggage, and trudging through the heartbreak and horror of The Last of Us Season 2, Episode 2. We’re talking tension, trauma, top-tier television, and some wildly speculative fan theories, unnecessarily deep dives, and the kind of wit that would make Ellie proud (or at least roll her eyes). Whether you're here for the post-apocalyptic angst, the clicker cameos, or just trying to survive Sunday night with your feels intact, we’ve got you covered.
Grab a brick, keep it stealthy, and let’s break it all down.
Endure and Survive!

March 29, 2025 Daredevil: Born Again | Episodes 5 & 6
Daredevil Born Again continues with Episodes 5 & 6, two completely different styles of episodes! Episode 5 is almost a bottle episode, seeing Matt thwart a bank heist, while Episode 6 is centered around the current big bad on the block, Muse! Join Couch Soup contributors Thomas Richards, Iain McParland, and Katie for Watching Now: Daredevil Born Again, discussing the episodes’ ups and downs. Is Matt Catholic enough for Katie yet? Has Matt’s character progressed enough to justifiably don the cowl again? And, is Fisk losing control of both his criminal enterprise AND his city? One thing is for sure, though: we all love Kamala Khan’s dad!

March 22, 2025 Daredevil: Born Again | Episode 4
Daredevil Born Again continues with Episode 4, the episode that featured the return of Frank Castle, The Punisher! No, that’s not a spoiler. He’s in the thumbnail on Disney+! Join Couch Soup contributors Thomas Richards, Iain McParland, Lily K, and Katie for Watching Now: Daredevil Born Again, discussing Episode 4’s ups and downs. Was Frank’s reintroduction everything we hoped for? Which character is dubbed by Lily as “the new Karen”? And has Matt’s faith in the justice system truly crumbled before our eyes? This episode has a lot of varied opinions, but they can all agree Muse is kinda weird, though.
