The best show about TV

The 2 presenters have a fantastic chemistry. Love the 5 segment format. These are people who clearly love the medium, not just as professionals but people who love TV. Daniel’s TV reviews are smart, informative and coming from a place of genuine desire to always say great things, but honest enough to tell you when you shouldn’t waste your time. Lesley brings a deep understanding of the world of TV. A real journalist but presenting in such a absorbable way you don’t even realise you just got smarter. I watch little TV, but this Podcast is so smart and engaging I listen to it every week just for the entertainment value.
This is not TVs Top 5 - reviews have been co-opted

‘I’m having an episode’ appeared on my device after hijacking the RSS feed for TVs Top Five. I see the healthy review score has been hijacked too. A reminder that TVs Top Five ended because at least one of the contributors was made redundant, shame on you for coasting on another pods hard earned reputation and built in listener base.
Embarrassing

Thanks for dropping a huge Yellowjackets spoiler in your review for fallout. Totally unnecessary and ridiculous but what I’ve come to expect from this show!
