TV showed. up. this week, with terrific episodes that ran the gamut from laugh out loud funny to terrifying to awe-inspiring. First, Noel and Kate talk through the week’s TV, starting with comedy and reality, including the premiere of The Last O.G., a Homicide-inspired Brooklyn Nine-Nine, a chilling standalone Atlanta, and a thoughtful and fun RuPaul’s Drag Race. Then we move over to genre and drama, including the premieres and returns of The Crossing, Legion, A Series of Unfortunate Events, and The Americans, a hilariously (and aptly) titled Legends of Tomorrow, and a compelling Black Lightning. Afterward, friend of the show Allison Shoemaker of The A.V. Club, Consequence of Sound, RogerEbert.com, and more podcasts than you can shake a stick at, joins us to dive deep with NBC’s latest, and definitely greatest, live musical, Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert.
