“Clearly brainwashed by Liberal media and unfortunate geographical upbringings, but turn out a decent show when they keep their political bias out of their mostly informed entertainment coverage.”

“Your recent Star Wars talk was absolutely asinine and uninformed. The show is so awful that you are defending Harvey Weinstein former personal assistant who has no qualifications or talent.
This podcast is rubbish.”

“Listening to David's reviews and discussions can be challenging as he dives deep into the reasons behind his likes and dislikes of the TV series he and his co-hosts dissect. However, don't let this deter you from tuning in. I gave them four stars because his appreciation for the LOTR TV...”Read full review »

“I would argue the guy who poisoned his co-workers clearly was influenced by the T.V. character George Costanza rather than Walter White. Slipped him a Mickey.”

“The new format isn’t for me. I want to tap “play,” relax and listen for the duration. With the new multi-series format I need to be at the ready to avoid spoilers by clicking pause, or skipping ahead, then saving the reminder of the podcast until later … after I’ve viewed the show in question. I...”Read full review »

“I listen to the podcast weekly and enjoy the conversation between Dave and Patrick. It’s interesting to see when they agree on shows and disagree on shows. I just hope they eventually cover Invincible season 2 part 2!”

“Somehow the host manages to sound disgusted at the show he watched, the show he’s reviewing the podcast he’s on and basically…everything..
Actually he LOVESS the sound of his own voice and breathing..but he’s gonna be so “confused” about everything in any given show..why bother listening just...”Read full review »

“This discussion was the first one I’ve come across that mentions two problems I also had with S2: 1. Claire being a MPDG and 2. The loss of a reasonable priced family diner for a high-end restaurant. I appreciated David sharing his family’s connection to the restaurant business and how important...”Read full review »

“I absolutely adore your TV analysis. Been listening for many years. But today’s comment from Roxana on Bo’s roommate’s aversion to ginger being a “micro aggression from a mildly racist white male” was the straw that broke the camel’s back. I’m sorry, but I’m out.”

“Does Roxana like anything?

I unsubscribed right there.

“This review is of Decoding TV’s analysis of Succession. Great analysis and insights.

“David Chen always puts out good quality podcasts. I’ve listened to many of his reviews of shows and he always brings in good insights and takes on shows.

“Love this podcast- original cast of kings podcast was fantastic. I’d love to hear more from his co hosts, he kind of glosses over others voicing their perspective on the show. Also, David- stop interrupting and talking over your cohost. Makes it difficult to listen to at times.”
