E167: The White Lotus Season 2 Finale Episode 7 Arrivederci

Season 8 · Episode 14

Our instant reaction to this often thrilling and occasionally funny (but possibly disappointing) final episode to the season.

E166: The Peripheral - Other Amazon Prime Recommendations PLUS: Station Eleven (HBO)

Season 8 · Episode 13

Friday, December 9, 2022 • Duration 37:45

Amazon Prime can be a bit of a content hole but there are many good shows to be found there. Here are just some that fans of The Peripheral may want to sample.

E165: The White Lotus Season 2 Episode 6 Abductions PLUS:Fleishman Is in Trouble Episode 4 / Three Pines / Slow Horses Season 2

Season 8 · Episode 12

Monday, December 5, 2022 • Duration 01:30:19

We approach the end of the season with a mostly grim episode. At least Valentina has a happy birthday after an initial setback.

I briefly review the return of the British spy series Slow Horses on AppleTV+ and also have sampled the slight and mildly entertaining Three Pines on Amazon Plus.

Plus we break down another excellent episode of Fleishman Is in Trouble on Hulu

E164: The Peripheral Season 1 Finale Episode 8 The Creation of a Thousand Forests PLUS: Andor / Guardians of the Galaxy Christmas Special

Season 8 · Episode 11

Friday, December 2, 2022 • Duration 01:17:46

A disappointing wrap up to the show but it does leave all those tantalizing questions open for exploration, next season, and there does seem to be a very good chance at a second season... although there has not yet been any announcement.

Then Nick, Ray and I geek out on the excellent season of Andor and also talk all things MCU (She Hulk, Black Panter 2, Guardians Christmas special).

E163: The White Lotus Season 2 Episode 5 That’s Amore PLUS: Fleischman Is in Trouble Episode 3

Season 8 · Episode 10

Monday, November 28, 2022 • Duration 01:14:42

mailto:needsdomeintroduction@gmail.com

For whom does the bell toll? Seems like a lot of possibilities, this week. All the plots escalate. This is a moody episode as we nearly completely abandon comedy for what seems more and more likely to be a tragedy.

Then we discuss the brilliant third episode of the FX/Hulu production, Fleischman is in Trouble.

E162: The Peripheral Episode 7 The Doodad PLUS: The English (Prime)/The Wonder (Netflix)/Atlanta (FX/Hulu)

Season 8 · Episode 9

Friday, November 25, 2022 • Duration 01:27:37

The latest episode of the show does not give me high hope for the finale. But first I mention some incredible streaming deals for Black Friday. Andor wraps up with a strong season finale and Celia and I review lots of recent releases and briefly discuss the end of an era as Atlanta wraps up, for good.

E161: The White Lotus - Season 2 - Episode 4 - In the Sandbox PLUS: Fleischman Is in Trouble (HULU)

Season 8 · Episode 8

Monday, November 21, 2022 • Duration 01:01:06

A lot of middle, here, but we are still very curious as we begin our turn toward the endgame.

Then, we discuss our very positive reaction to the first 2 episodes of Fleishman Is in Trouble on Hulu.
