Listen now as I dive into some possible #Cobelvig theories after #Severance Episode 202, "Goodbye, Mrs. Selvig." Take a ride in my White VW Rabbit (?) as I drive into the possibilities surrounding Ms. Cobel / Mrs. Selvig and her possible connections to Gemma and Mark. Could she have killed Gemma in a fiery car crash then recruited Mark S.? Why is her character and car featured prominently in #AppleTV+'s new (gorgeous) opening title sequence?

I have so many questions and try my best to connect some dots. Even if I'm wrong, it's always fun to throw some ideas around. Seriously though, what's up with Cobelvig?????

Moving forward I'm shifting to weekly theory videos versus reactions and reviews, so be sure you're subscribed here and on YouTube!

In “Severance,” Mark Scout (Adam Scott) leads a team at Lumon Industries, whose employees have undergone a severance procedure that surgically divides their memories between their work and personal lives. This daring experiment in “work-life balance” is called into question as Mark finds himself at the center of an unraveling mystery that will force him to confront the true nature of his work … and of himself. In season two, Mark and his friends learn the dire consequences of trifling with the severance barrier, leading them further down a path of woe. (AppleTV+) Thank you for watching!

Here I am mourning the loss of one of favorite TV series, "Evil" on Paramount+. While we didn't get a "bow ending" on this one, I think it works so we can keep the door open for more should another streamer (‪Netflix‬?) pick it up for another season (or few). Watch now for my take on "Evil" Season 4 as a whole, some of the hits and misses, and whether or not Timothy is ACTUALLY the Antichrist. What are your thoughts on how they wrapped up the series? Be sure to share your favorite and least favorite storylines and characters, and overall sentiments of the series as a whole below in the comments. And get out there and use #SaveEvil to spread the word that this show deserves more time on our screens!

I had the absolute pleasure of chatting with the incredibly talented, Tony Award-winning Lena Hall, who plays Ali (Coop’s sister) in "Your Friends & Neighbors" on ‪Apple TV+, starring Jon Hamm.

From ​⁠AppleTV: In the first season of “The Buccaneers," a group of fun-loving young American girls exploded into the tightly corseted London of the 1870s…setting hearts racing and kicking off an Anglo-American culture clash. Now the Buccaneers are no longer the invaders - England is their home. In fact they’re practically running the place. Nan is the Duchess of Tintagel, the most influential woman in the country. Conchita is Lady Brightlingsea, heroine to a wave of young American heiresses. And Jinny is on every front-page, wanted for the kidnap of her unborn child. All of the girls have been forced to grow up and now have to fight to be heard, as they wrestle with romance, lust, jealousy, births and deaths... themes consuming all women of any age, no matter what year it is. Last time we got a taste of England. This time we’re in for a veritable feast.
