  • Lighten up

    My eyes almost rolled out my head when the very first thing you mention about Jury Duty is how it is problematic. Good lord if you cant enjoy that light-hearted show I’m not sure what might actually like. The concerns didnt even make sense given that that they go out of their way to make Ronald look like a great guy the entire time.

  • You'll always know the best TV shows

    This show helps me save time. Instead of watching shows, I can quickly learn about a pilot in less than 10 minutes. They also cover a lot of different streaming platforms. Some that I had never heard of it! I wish they would cover movies too but I love the focus on TV pilots.

  • Love this show!

    I really like this podcast. I mainly use Netflix for TV and they are regularly reviewing the newest series which helps me know what’s worth investing my time into. I wish BJ and Mitu covered more Netflix shows but it’s also cool that they cover all the different streaming platforms.
