The Televerse #424- Spotlight on Schitt’s Creek Season 5

The fall TV season rolls on, and while there was a high profile Netflix drop this past week—the Breaking Bad follow-up movie El Camino—we won’t be talking about it this week on the podcast. Instead, we’re diving in with a Netflix release we’re far more interested in: Season five of Schitt’s Creek. Is Kate still over the moon for David and Patrick? Now that he’s caught up with the entire show, is Noel onboard the hype train, or does he still think the show’s stans should temper their praise? Before that, though, there’s a full week of TV to discuss. First we look at the genre offerings, including the Arrow premiere, the hard-reboot Charmed premiere, and The Flash. Then we move over to comedy, checking in with Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, The Good Place, and The Unicorn, and we round out the week with another lengthy Bake Off chat, looking at both “Festival Week” and the quarter-final, “Pastry Week”. Take a listen, then reach out with your thoughts on the week’s TV, Schitt’s Creek, and your picks for the best TV of the 2010s.
