Welcome to TV Break, where Pop Break’s Podcasts Editor Alex Marcus is joined by editor-in-chief Bill Bodkin, and TV Columnist Josh Sarnecky to talk about the happenings in television.

Here’s the format of the show:

The Best Thing I Saw on TV Last Month – Alex, Bill, and Special Guest Host Aaron Sarnecky talk about a show/episode/event they liked from the last month including HBO’s Succession, AMC’s Better Call Saul (now on Netflix), and Disney Plus’s The Mandalorian, Peter Pan & Wendy; Star Wars: Rebels, and Marvel’s Luke Cage S1.

News Break – Alex, Bill, and Aaron discuss all the details surrounding Warner Bros. Discovery’s ⁠Max streaming service launch event⁠.

Streaming Wars – Alex, Bill, and Aaron pick a streamer they think “won the month” based on new shows airing/upcoming shows announced etc. One month after the historical Netflix stock market bubble burst, all three hosts declare Netflix as the winner of the month, on the back of huge TV ratings hits Beef, The Night Agent, The Diplomat, and Love is Blind, adding 11 million subscribers since before the subscriber dip that caused the stock evaluation crash last year, the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers 30th anniversary special and John Mulaney stand up special, and so much more.

New Series Spotlight – Alex, Bill, and Aaron review ⁠Citadel⁠, Prime Video’s global espionage thriller about two spies who have forgotten that they were spies, starring Richard Madden and Priyanka Chopra Jonas, and co-stars Academy Award nominees Stanley Tucci and Lesley Manville and produced by The Russo Brothers.
