The Tower, Welcome to Wrexham, Fleabag and Outside In

Description
This week on Screen Babble host Kelly is joined by resident TV Critic Steven Ross and National World reporter Hiyah Zaidi. We start with our usual chat around what we've been watching. Steven took Benji's recommendation from last week and has been catching up on Arrested Development and been surprised by Michael Cere's role in it. Hiyah has been catching up on Schitt's Creek and Annika as she enjoys a crime drama - this one, she says, has a slightly different format that goes into more detail. Kelly finished series one of The Tower, another crime drama with a reflexive feel where much of the wrong-doing is in fact done by the police. She also watched Outside In on Netflix, starring Edie Falco and Jay Duplass. It's the story of a man who gets released from prison after 20 years of being wrongly incarcerated. It follows his struggle to reconnect with friends and family as well as his obsession with the woman who helped set him free, who happens to be his ex-high school teacher. On the deep dive Steven tells us about Welcome to Wrexham which is returning for a second series following the wild success of season one. It continues the story of the football club, starting at the beginning of last year's football season. Steven highlights an episode that focuses on the women's team, which he predicts may cause a stir. Finally for back to the future Hiyah takes us through the classic that is Fleabag. The two season British sitcom written and starring Phoebe Waller Bridge was a huge hit when it aired. Big recommendations for this one from Hiyah and Kelly. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
