  • By far, my favorite TV review site

    They have clear, smart and direct comments. And they are great together, whether in agreement or having differences of opinion. The length is perfect to get a good idea of the shows without going on too long. This podcast always makes it to the top of the queue.

    I look forward to every release to find out about shows I haven’t seen yet and also to hear their opinions on shows I’ve already watched to compare notes. I love that they don’t always agree and I really enjoy their wrap ups. Thanks guys.
