The first wave of 2019 premieres is here, giving us plenty of TV to dive in with this week on the podcast. Noel and Kate kick things off with their week in TV, starting with the comedies, including the premiere of Schitt’s Creek, black-ish’s colorism episode, the long-awaited Hitchcock and Scully spotlight episode of Brooklyn Nine-Nine, the penultimate The Good Place, and a Cats-tastic Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. Then we move over to genre and reality, including the premieres of The Promised Neverland, A Discovery of Witches, Star Trek: Discovery, and American Experience, season one of Carmen Sandiego, an underwhelming Top Chef: Kentucky, and a fun RuPaul’s Drag Race: All Stars. Then we move to the spotlight section, diving in with season one of Netflix’s Sex Education. Listen for our thoughts, then reach out with your own!
