Spooky season is officially over, but at least we got a few more Halloween-themed episodes this week, giving Noel and Kate plenty of festive TV to discuss on the podcast. We kick things off with Our Week in TV, starting with reality and comedy, including The Good Place, Superstore, Perfect Harmony, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and The Great British Bake Off. Then we move over to drama and genre, including Stumptown, Watchmen, Supergirl, The Flash, and Arrow. Next we head to the spotlight section, where we dive in with the much-loved 2019 animated comedy Tuca & Bertie. Does Tuca & Bertie live up to the hype? Are the Arrowverse shows maintaining their strong early-season energy? And how do The Good Place and Superstore stack up, as we approach the half-way point of the former’s final season? Take a listen, then reach out with your thoughts.
