Amanda continues her quest to watch every British panel show ever created, while Sarah ventures over to the (QUITE) dark side of the internet to take in all of HBO Max's Into the Storm. We come together to offer thoughts on the British import Staged, a very funny capsule of quarantine life (well...for celebrities)that tries, for better or worse, to depict our collective existential crisis. Shows Discussed: The Nanny, Into the Storm, Staged, Taskmaster

Yes, that's right, Amanda finally took Sarah's advice and watched Search Party. And now she's wondering what took her so long, because it really is as great as Sarah said. Why doesn't anyone ever *listen* to us?! If you haven't watched it yet, do yourself a favor and plow through all four seasons on HBO Max, then come back and join us for this episode. We're also talking about some more-serious shows (It's a Sin and Allen v. Farrow) and, briefly, the weirdness that was this year's Golden...

Once again we disappeared for a few weeks, but really isn't it more fun this way? To never know *quite* when to expect us, dropping a few months worth of frantic viewing habits in your laps? Maybe things will get more consistent in 2021 - don't get your hopes up. This week, a shocking turn of events where SARAH likes the British (...ish) melodrama-comedy and Amanda explains why having fun is bad (KIDDING). In other hot news, Amanda touts Lupin, Sarah devours the new dark-as-night season of...

You are cordially invited to a very royal (or alternatively, British) podcast episode, in which we talk at length about how to wish someone a nice holiday during a pandemic, why Amanda has held onto a certain birthday card for years, and what American mothers liked about Princess Di. Oh! And TV. Lots of TV. We have a range of queen-....adjacent? shows that will a) get you riled up about royals AND Maggie Thatcher, b) make you think you understand chess (you don't), or c) get you riled up...

Halloween, a full moon, the election, the Supreme Court....the Scaries Per Minute (SPM) (patent pending) rating for this week is off the charts. Luckily, Sarah and Amanda are back to distract you with a WEALTH of television they've been watching over the past month. From British comedy found only on YouTube to the new season of Fargo, plus wait - can you believe we haven't done an episode since the fresh episodes of PEN15?? Whoops. Please, close the FiveThirtyEight tab and watch an engrossing...

No, not Sarah + Amanda (although that's also a heavenly match), but Netflix + yet another massively entertaining dating show. The streamer's Indian Matchmaking is certainly elevated from the likes of Love is Blind - it's a look at the work of Sima from Mumbai, a powerhouse matchmaker. The show has some dynamite personalities and is a fascinating look at a cultural tradition, the arranged marriage, that most Americans are probably unfamiliar with, but misses an opportunity to interrogate the...

We've got a monster episode for you, so chances are you've seen at least one of the shows we're talking about. If not, well, there's a real range of recommendations to choose from, though you'll probably need HBO. Or is it HBO Go? Wait — HBO Max, that's the one. But, uh, not Peacock. Teenage girl skateboarders. Unsolved mysteries (some of which seem pretty solvable). Moose-meat preservation. Michaela Coel and Matthew Rhys. This episode has a lot going on, unlike Sarah and Amanda. Shows...

We're back, and better than ever! Or at least the same as ever! Sarah has emerged from the experience of giving birth with strong opinions about the last two seasons of The Sopranos, and Amanda found Hulu's The Great to be, well, pretty great. HBO's Run and Netflix's Never Have I Ever get mixed reactions, and then we talk about a whole bunch of other shows we watched in our hiatus, including the surprisingly awesome second season of Netflix's Dead to Me. Warning: things get a little...

We're three for three here — three episodes in on three new seasons of television, which is an absolutely fascinating fact if weeks of self-isolation has given you the Brain Scramblies, too. Sarah and Amanda talk about the first three eps of the new season of Insecure, the first three eps of the hilarious new season of What We Do in the Shadows, and the first free eps of HBO's brand new show Run. Our next episode won't be till after a certain Boob Tube host has a baby, so please wish Amanda...

Quarantine, week....could be four, could be fourteen, who's to say anymore? COVID remains bad for essentially every aspect of life except for television consumption, so we've still got you covered there. Amanda takes a dive into the world of British competitive pottery throwing (I mean have you ever heard of something MORE Amanda?), Sarah catches up with Pamela Adlon's always-brilliant Better Things, and then we discuss our mixed reactions to Hulu's highly touted adaptation of Little Fires...

Well, this episode was a long time coming thanks to a certain Boob Tuber's uploading failure (Amanda, we're talking about Amanda). But the good news — and let's be honest, we could all really use some good news — is that there might be another episode coming sooner than usual, thanks to the enormous amount of staying-inside-and-watching-telly we're both doing. We hope everyone is staying safe and spending almost as much time on calls with friends and family as they are watching TV. And...

A sad week, in Boob Tube-verse (yes, all the weeks are sad ones these days, yes we....get a little distracted by the state of the world): the end of Bojack Horseman. We spend a good chunk of this week discussing the highs and lows - nearly all highs, which are actually lows - but also make time for the mostly-entertaining true fraud doc McMillion$ and Netflix's terribly-titled Bonfire of Destiny. Shows Discussed: Bojack Horseman, Bonfire of Destiny, McMillion$, Last Week Tonight

At least, so far it looks like it's an evil, murderous doppelgänger in HBO's new series 'The Outsider.' What we are sure about is that we are NOT OK after the series finale of 'The Good Place.' We know you cried, too. But when we weren't creeping ourselves out or contemplating existential questions, we also checked out the new show 'Avenue 5' and the second season of 'Shrill.' Plus, we have a new addition to Amanda's trash corner! Shows discussed: The Good Place, The Outsider, Avenue 5,...

Ms Wides discusses why you should watch 'Work in Progress,' and we all wonder about one of the great mysteries of our time — why Amanda watched all of 'The Witcher,' a show that 100 percent was not made for her. But don't worry; we're moving on from our labored emphasis of the letter W to also talk about 'The L Word' and the fictional, magical, beautiful world it inhabits. Plus, we put in a plug for a new docu-series about cheerleading, and finally talk about a little-known and under-hyped...

Audio issues, rampant illness, malfunctioning software, it's the end of the year as we know it and we feel fine. That's right folks, a whole 2019's worth of television, and what the hell did we watch again? Amanda and Sarah will struggle to remember while they dish out awards for Best New Show, Best Outfit, Best Show We Watched That We Said We Wouldn't Watch, and also determine that "comedy" and "drama" are really just nonsense words that don't mean anything anyway. Shows Discussed: Too many...

Sarah goes deep into the Bon Appétit Cinematic Universe (tm) and is, by the way, still riding a high from Chris Morocco liking her BA sausage and corn nut stuffing on Instagram. She continues the food theme by discussing Japanese anthology series Midnight Diner, and stays in Tokyo with the at-times sweet but probably problematic Queer Eye: We’re In Japan! Amanda shares her hunger for the Great British Baking Show: Holidays edition, and is keeping an eye on the Watchmen, a compelling show that...

We have to get a few things out of the way before we talk about the promising first half to Bojack Horseman's final season. We watched a few episodes each of Living With Yourself, The Hook-up Plan, and Castle Rock, and they're ... fine, but we haven't gotten much further than that ("meh" things come in threes). But we have good things to say about Bojack, the final episode of the latest GBBO season, and polite murders in turn-of-the-century Toronto. Plus, tune in for some "breaking" TV news,...

After Sarah takes a brief dive into the utterly bizarre Transparent Musical Finale, Sarah and Amanda discuss a number of women-fronted crime shows, including the UK's Scott & Bailey and Netflix's Unbelievable. A story about the investigation of a serial rapist told through a distinctly feminist lens, Unbelievable isn't without its flaws, but nearly everything about it feels revolutionary.

Check, check, 1, 2, 3 — Yep, Amanda's mic sounds way better this episode. Maybe that's why we went a little long — or maybe it's because the Emmys were this week and we have our usual measured takes. Sarah watched half of it, and Amanda watched none, but that won't stop of from being excited for PWB! We also talk about Undone, the new Amazon show using rotoscope animation. It's beautiful, funny, and hard to explain, so just trust us that you need to watch it, OK? Shows discussed: The 71st...

Our b******t, of course, being Australian mysteries and wry but warm British comedies. The Great British Bake-Off is back in session, complete with awkward innuendo and a contestant who somehow popped out of a Pacific Sunwear catalogue circa 1998! Our hosts revel in the absolute delight that is the UK's This Way Up (a big bonus: Amanda shares her Irish accent), but if you get homesick, Sarah heartily recommends On Becoming a God in Central Florida - a bitter but funny show about one of the...

Oh, the show is about hunting MINDS, m-i-n-d ... that makes a lot more sense! But is it worth getting back into the game of tracking serial killers for a second season of Mindhunter? Sarah has the verdict. Amanda jumps back in the ring for a third season of GLOW, and is here to tell you that it's good if you JUST STOP BINGING EVERYTHING FOR GOD'S SAKE JUST SLOW DOWN—— Ahem. Plus, we check back in with the final season of Orange Is the New Black before stepping away from Netflix and jumping...

Sarah is convinced that if last summer's HBO sleeper hit was Succession, maybe this summer's is Euphoria, an intoxicating (see what we did there?), glittery show about extremely cool teens. Will it make you feel old? Probably. Are there still feelings and experiences you can relate to? Also probably! Amanda checks back in with a previous pick of hers, Derry Girls, which has a new season out on Netflix. There are teens here too, but these ones are living in Northern Ireland during the Troubles...

Sometimes, a show's second season don't end nearly as well as it starts, and you wonder, "Why didn't she destroy the train set earlier?" and also, "Why?" Sometimes, you aren't even sure whether you'll watch a show that's coming back after years away, but you wind up saying, "Hey, that was fun!" And sometimes, a show is the third season of Stranger Things and you're like, "I mean, I guess?" We've been gone a whole month, and in that time we've formed some Opinions about the latest...

Ok it's easier to lose track of time as the days get longer, so it has been a full MONTH since we last talked TV, but my what a month it's been. Sarah hits you with micro-reviews of a few different shows and tries with a not-great amount of effort to get you into at least one of the new Black Mirror episodes. Amanda follows that up with a check-in on the less-buzzy second season of Killing Eve. Finally the spicy, spicy meat of this episode: the new installment of Big Little Lies, we're...
