The Televerse #461- Spotlight on Taste the Nation with Padma Lakshmi Season 1

It’s another light TV week, courtesy of the holiday weekend, but that just gives us time to dive deep on a few of our quarantine favorites. Noel and Kate kick things off with Our Week in TV, starting with the reality offerings, including the premiere of HBO’s I’ll Be Gone in the Dark, another nail-biting Jelle’s Marble Runs: Marble League 2020 (go O’Rangers!), and the latest improv challenge on RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars. Then we move to genre, with the first of a two-parter on Stargirl, another high-stakes time travel adventure on Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD, and now that Kate’s caught up with it, last week’s Adventure Time: Distant Lands premiere. Then we head to the spotlight section and get some serious food envy watching Hulu’s Taste the Nation with Padma Lakshmi. Listen for our thoughts, then reach out with your favorite moments from the past week’s TV.
