i'll be gone in the dark

Summer TV may be coming to a close, but fortunately there are still new shows becoming available, as we head into a new level of COVID-19 doldrums. We kick things off this episode with Our Week in TV, catching up with the new season of Sugar Rush, its one-episode spin-off Sugar High, Canada’s Drag Race, and Jelle’s Marble Runs: Marble League 2020. Then we reflect on the finale for I’ll Be Gone in the Dark before moving over to genre for Wynonna Earp, Stargirl, and Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD. Then we head to the spotlight section and dive in with Harley Quinn season two, which has recently moved from DC Universe to HBO Max. Tune in for our thoughts, then reach out with your take on the week’s TV.

It’s San Diego Comic Con International week! Which we’re skipping, for the first time since 2012. The con may still be happening at home, but if there are no overcrowded convention hallways and persistent background noise, it’s just not SDCC. We’ll hopefully be back next year, but for now, we’re focusing on our standard coverage, and thankfully this week gave us plenty to dive in with. We kick off the episode with Our Week in TV, including a surprising Full Frontal with Samantha Bee, another disconcerting I’ll Be Gone in the Dark, the penultimate RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars, two more thrilling events in Jelle’s Marble Runs: Marble League 2020, and shocking and eventful episodes of Stargirl and Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD. Then we head over to the season spotlight and have fun with the first season of HBO’s horror-tinged comedy Los Espookys. Listen for our thoughts, then reach out with your own take on the week’s TV.

It’s another light TV week, courtesy of the holiday weekend, but that just gives us time to dive deep on a few of our quarantine favorites. Noel and Kate kick things off with Our Week in TV, starting with the reality offerings, including the premiere of HBO’s I’ll Be Gone in the Dark, another nail-biting Jelle’s Marble Runs: Marble League 2020 (go O’Rangers!), and the latest improv challenge on RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars. Then we move to genre, with the first of a two-parter on Stargirl, another high-stakes time travel adventure on Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD, and now that Kate’s caught up with it, last week’s Adventure Time: Distant Lands premiere. Then we head to the spotlight section and get some serious food envy watching Hulu’s Taste the Nation with Padma Lakshmi. Listen for our thoughts, then reach out with your favorite moments from the past week’s TV.
