It’s been another challenging week, but this episode we’re focusing on getting to spotlight the much-anticipated, emotional series finale of Sense8. We dive in and talk through its strengths and weaknesses, from the rapturous to the ridiculous. There’s plenty more TV to discuss as well, and with Kate finally (almost) caught up, we talk through a whole slew of new and returning series. First up, we look at the week’s reality, comedy, and genre offerings, including the 72nd Annual Tony Awards, the finales of Archer: Danger Island and Legion, and the latest episodes Marvel’s Cloak & Dagger and Reverie. Then we move over to the week’s drama episodes, including the premieres of Claws and The Bold Type, catchups with Dietland, Pose, and Queen Sugar, and a surprising Elementary. Take a listen, then reach out with your thoughts on the week’s TV, Sense8, and more.
