Have you felt completely overwhelmed when deciding what new show to watch these days? Us too. There’s just so much content out there between network tv and numerous streaming platforms, which is why we have a couple of television critics joining us to help you sift through everything. Joining us this week are Primetimer editor-in-chief Danette Chavez and Melanie McFarland, television critic for Salon.

Also on the program, we’ll be talking about this recent trend of streamers pulling television shows they’ve prominently brought into their catalogs. This follows Netflix’s decision to purge itself of the cult-classic comedy Arrested Development, having previously had its original 3 seasons and even developing two of its own. We’ll discuss why platforms are choosing to do this and what this means for subscribers on these platforms.

This week’s reviews include:

  • The Company You Keep (Airs on ABC, Streaming on Hulu the next day)
  • Star Trek: Picard [Season 3] (Paramount+)
  • Carnival Row [Season 2] (Amazon Prime Video)
  • African Queens: Njinga (Netflix)
  • Hello Tomorrow! (Apple TV+)
  • Physical: 100 (Netflix)
