First, though, we talk through our week in TV. We kick things off with the finale of Superstore, then another strong The Amber Ruffin Show, the RuPaul’s Drag Race roast, a few more thoughts on last week’s Queen Sugar, Wyatt Russell’s big introduction on The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and the return of Supergirl. Then it’s over to the spotlight section for our retrospective.
