The network premieres may not quite be here (for the most part), but there are still plenty of new shows to discuss on this week’s podcast. First, Noel and Kate dive in with the comedies, including the premieres of High Maintenance, Fleabag, Son of Zorn, and Documentary Now!. Then we talk a little reality, namely RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars, before heading over to the genre and drama entries, including the premiere of Quarry and the occasionally operatic finale of BrainDead, as well as an emotional Halt and Catch Fire. Afterward, we head to the DVD Shelf and welcome on author SB Swartz to discuss the infectiously fun Canadian genre gem, Lost Girl.
