The end of summer looms, which means back-to-school shopping for parents and children and another wave of finales and premieres for TV fans. This week, Noel and Kate dive in with season one of Reverie, NBC’s virtual reality procedural and Sarah Shahi vehicle. What came together, what didn’t, and what would we like to see in season two should the series get renewed? Before that, though, we have a full week in TV, starting with the comedies. This week, that means Wrecked and The Venture Bros., which both return firing on all cylinders, a catch-up on Trial & Error: Lady, Killer, an extra-Scottish DuckTales, and a cathartic Full Frontal with Samantha Bee. After that, we move over to the drama, reality, and genre offerings, including the finale of The Bold Type, the frustrating first live episode of SYTYCD, catch-ups with The Sinner and Castle Rock, and the first post-Dolls Wynonna Earp. Take a listen, then chime in with your thoughts on this and the rest of summer television!
