SCRUBLANDS: SILVER
This week, we dive into Scrublands: Silver on AMC+. It's a moody, slow-burn crime thriller selected by one of our Patreon subscribers! We get into what the show does well, where it stumbles, and whether its chilly, dust-covered mystery kept us hooked. Thanks again to our patron for putting this one on our radar. Plus we tore through House of Guinness, and caught up on this week's PLUR1BUS! 2:00-49:20 TV Diaries 21:30-34:20 House of Guinness 36:00-49:20 Pluribus 49:20- Scrublands S02

The Lowdown (FX)
This week, we dig into The Lowdown on FX — and we don't quite see eye to eye. Nick wasn't feeling the vibe, but Les had a blast with it. We break down what worked, what didn't, and whether this throwback mystery is worth your time. 2:45-41:10 TV Diaries 41:10- The Lowdown
