The Televerse #460- Spotlight on Top Boy: Summerhouse Season 2

The beginning of the COVID-19 TV draught has officially hit here at the podcast. There’s still plenty of TV to discuss, but once again, reality is picking up the slack. We kick things off with Our Week in TV, starting with our sole drama and comedy offerings, the premiere of Perry Mason and Full Frontal with Samantha Bee. There’s plenty of reality to discuss, though, including the kickoff of Jelle’s Marble Runs: Marble League 2020, Netflix and Channel 4’s Crazy Delicious season one, more thoughts on Floor is Lava season one, and RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars. Then we wrap up the week with a quick look at Adventure Time: Distant Lands, and longer looks at Stargirl and Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD. Afterward, it’s time for the spotlight section, and we dive in with season two of Netflix’s Top Boy: Summerhouse. Listen for our thoughts, then reach out with your take on the week’s TV and what you’re watching during these lighter weeks.
