Bryan and Taylor have a lot of television to cover from the month of January! On this episode, they recommend checking out “The Good Place” so they can revisit the finale in a few weeks (2:00), discuss their conflicted thoughts on the strange HBO series “The Young Pope” (5:20), why “The Young Pope” is similar to “Baskets” (9:00) and dive into the self-indulgent FX series “Taboo” (11:40).
They also discuss whether Tom Hardy can save “Taboo” (13:00), whether the show is visually interesting (15:15) and whether “The Young Pope” or “Taboo” has a higher ceiling (16:00).
Finally, the guys dive into the new Netflix show, “A Series of Unfortunate Events” (18:00) and discuss whether Neil Patrick Harris is right for the role of Count Olaf (20:15), what the target age for the show is (21:15), the show’s clever writing (23:15) and drop some thoughts on the Oscar nominations, including a brief review of “Hacksaw Ridge” (27:55).
