The wave of post-Olympic premieres continues this week, giving us plenty of TV to discuss. First up, Noel and Kate talk through their week in reality and comedy, including the controversial season finale of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars, the latest half-season of Terrace House: Opening New Doors, Anna Deavere Smith’s remarkable Notes from the Field, and the returns of black-ish and Speechless. Next we move over to the drama and genre offerings, including the premieres of For the People, Rise, and Timeless, the 100th episode of Agents of SHIELD, an Iris-centric The Flash, and a revelatory Black Lightning. Then we round out the discussion with a spoiler-tastic deep dive on Jessica Jones season two.
