• Spartacus: House of Ashur (S01E01-02)

  What is dead may never die… wait, wrong show, but same concept. It’s December 2025 and Spartacus is back on Starz with Spartacus: House of Ashur, a sequel that takes one of the most hated villains in the show’s run, resurrects him from hell, and hands him everything he’s ever wanted. If that sounds weird, it very much is. On the podcast, we discuss the first two episodes, how they compare to the original series, and the familiar mix of stylized dialogue, gratuitous nudity, and slow-mo carnage. It’s a new era, so there’s a new crop of gladiators, as well as nods to those who didn’t survive. Tune in to hear our thoughts. Welcome to Today’s Episode!

• The Artist (PILOT)

  There’s a new streaming service out called The Network, and it just dropped a new series, The Artist. Set in 1906 Rhode Island, the show follows Norman and Marian Henry (Mandy Patinkin and Janet McTeer), a powerful but couple in a rocky marriage whose estate becomes ground zero for a murder mystery. Part upstairs/downstairs drama and part absurd comedy, it brings a modern, loosely improvised energy to period TV in a way that sits somewhere between The Great and Dickinson. The ensemble includes Danny Huston as Edgar Degas and Hank Azaria as Thomas Edison, and in the premiere their storylines. Tune in to hear our pros, cons, comparisons, and rating.

• All Her Fault

  Do you know where your kid is? All Her Fault is Peacock’s new eight-episode thriller based on Andrea Mara’s Sunday Times bestseller. The series moves the story from Dublin to Chicago and shifts the book’s multi-POV structure into a tighter mystery led by Sarah Snook, Jake Lacy, Abby Elliott, Michael Peña, Dakota Fanning,  and Sophia Lillis. In this podcast, we unpack the big changes from page to screen (the gender-swaps, expanded storylines, and the reworked timeline), the performances, the red herrings that work, and the twists the show gives away too early. We also get into the book’s darker reveals, the series’ pacing problems, what the finale nails, what it fumbles, and our rating. Tune in. Welcome to Today’s Episode!
