  • Sad to see it go!

    I listened most when the hosts reviewed AJLT, Succession and True Detective S4. I really enjoyed the episode breakdowns and looked forward to listening every week! The hosts are funny and I love to hear writers break down tv shows with their expertise and humor. I was looking so forward to the next season of AJLT just because of this podcast and now I am sad. They did lose me on Regime- I love Kate Winslet-I just could not get into that show. I hope this podcast can come back!!
