In this episode, we're taking a critical eye to some of the latest offerings on television, where it seems originality is harder to find than a needle in a haystack.
We start with what should have been a milestone: the 60th episode of Doctor Who's second season. Instead of a celebration, we'll discuss how it fell flat, lacking the charm and ingenuity the series was once known for. Then, we shift to Apple TV's "Slow Horses" Season 3. The disappointment continues as we dissect the newly released trailer for the Fallout TV show, which appears to miss the mark on what made the game series a cult classic. And finally, we'll delve into "The Boys," a series that once pushed boundaries but now seems to be running in circles, struggling to maintain its shock value.
Tune in for a no-holds-barred analysis of these shows, where we ask: where has all the good TV gone?
