Here’s the format of the show:

The Best Thing I Saw on TV Last Month – Alex, Bill, & Josh talk about a show/episode/event they liked from the last month including ABC’s Abbott Elementary, HBO’s True Detective: Night Country, and Netflix’s Avatar: The Last Airbender.

Meanwhile, Josh gave it to Amazon Prime Video, thanks to their securing an exclusive NFL Playoff game, launching the Jennifer Lopez This Is Me…Now extravaganza, and hyping the upcoming premieres of Invincible and Road House.
