Episode 257 "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel"
A lot of great shows have wrapped in the last year, and here’s another one. After five successful seasons, Amazon Prime’s The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is taking a bow. Filled with charm, laughs, and a fantastic cast, showrunner Amy Sherman-Palladino’s comedic period piece will be missed.

Episode 256 "Jury Duty"
Here’s a fun idea for a show: a ridiculous jury trial where everything is fake and everyone is an actor, except for one regular guy who’s not in on the joke. Freevee’s new original series Jury Duty is just that. It’s actually hilarious, and most people haven’t even heard of it. Check a look. (recorded before it  was nominated for any awards)

Episode 255 "Barry" Season Four
Oh wow. HBO’s quirky action-speckled dramedy Barry has come to curtain call, and show creator/writer/director/actor Bill Hader is ending it on his own terms. Love it or hate it, there’s really nothing on TV like it. Filled with surprising twists, surreal existentialism, and topical commentary, Barry’s final season is nothing if not creatively bold and original.

Episode 254 ”The Mandalorian” Season Three
The Mandalorian Season 3 has dropped, and things are starting to heat up. But despite making some big moves in the story, Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau’s Disney+ Star Wars series is still prone to rambling and meandering. Let's get it together, guys! This show still has such huge potential…

Episode 253 ”Succession” Season Four
Succession Season 4 is now over, and the Shakespearean saga of the Roy family has officially come to a close. With a story and setting that deftly satirize the turbulent sociopolitical times we’re living in, it’s no surprise that HBO’s hit show has captured the zeitgeist for several years now. It’s hilarious, it’s sad, and hopefully the people watching have learned something.
