Customer Reviews
Need better cohosts
Quality of show has gone way down. Current cohosts are not as qualified as prior ones. Emily is a writer She knows women’s issues and labor. The rest she regurgitates what she reads and often doesn’t quite understand and asks Felix for reassurance! Elizabeth has more experience and doesn’t talk Felix often interrupts her rarely does he do that to Emily. Felix can handle shoe by himself with guests
Watch with subtitles, please
If you’re going to do any more recap episodes, I suggest the staff and the guest speakers watch the episodes with subtitiles. It’s really frustrating to hear people constantly correct each other/Felix on details they would have noticed if they just watched with subtitles (like “New Jess” in the succession finale, not “new jets”). And with the way shows are audio edited these days you can miss a lot of subtleties if you’re not reading the words to back up what you think you heard (I also found the conversation about Kendall’s kids not being his confusing to listen to, but the subtitles helped).
Felix. Stop talking.
I love this show but Felix can’t stop talking. Why have two other hosts? Good info if
You can get past Felix’s tendency to dominate and more than occasional mansplaining.
