This was really fun to listen to! I enjoyed the discussion on Lucifer though I haven’t started watching it. I’m a big fan of Tom Ellis’ work on British TV so I wasn’t sure about this. But you’ve gotten me intrigued.
And I agree that Gotham did get better this last season. Still crazy but better.
How could you talk kdramas without me? *cries* I love shopping king louie! I am also super excited for suspicious partner. And I agree: izombie has been really uneven this season. It actually feels like there’s too much plot. Like you never know in any episode what thread they’re going to pick up.
Like what’s with that thing someone posted on twitter about peyton? It seemed like it was something really horrible and then they just…never revisited it. And after other plot threads were dropped from one season to another (Liv’s family, for example), I don’t even believe that once this season wraps (I’m about to watch the finale) they’ll ever come back to it again.
