Paul Critoph returns for the annual TV debrief

Paul Critoph is an actor and regular friend of the podcast, joining Steve for the third consecutive end-of-year television review — the one where they figure out which shows they've actually both watched.

  • Why Alien Earth started brilliantly and then made its xenomorphs bulletproof in broad daylight — and why that ruins everything
  • Squid Game 2 and 3: the hide and seek episode that was genuinely brilliant, the policeman on a boat for far too long, and why the ending made them angry instead of emotional
  • The Summer I Turned Pretty — a show aimed at teenage girls that Paul's wife binged entirely while Paul occasionally wandered in to ask who Conrad and Jeremiah were
  • Why Andor is the best Star Wars thing since The Empire Strikes Back — and why it's really a show about fascism and how it gets its tendrils into communities
  • Black Mirror's return to form — and why the Bandersnatch multiple-choice situation still annoys Steve
  • The Bear: essentially someone chopping a radish very slowly while looking moody, for weeks on end
