    Once a good show, lately too political, shouty overlapping voices and pointless chatter

    Three voices gathered where new shows begin,

    James charting structure, pace and theme,

    Kay gauging tone beneath the din,

    And Boyd—ever sly—would softly beam

    As he alluded to truths untold.

    They roamed through Slow Horses, muddy and sharp,

    Then vaulted into The Expanse’s flight,

    Picking apart each scene, each spark—

    What lands, what drags, what just feels right—

    Their craft: to judge what stories hold.

    And I strolled with them, episode by episode,

    Hearing debates on which paths thrive;

  • Best TV review podcast

    Perfect podcast for TV lovers and so far the only one out there of its quality.

    Even though they talk down to James Dyer too much and at some point it stops being funny and is just bullying, and every time they mention „true crime“ or „reality“ TV I want to cut my ears off and set my phone on fire.

    But other than that … 😘
