Welcome to TV Break, where Pop Break\u2019s 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\u2019s the format of the show:

The Best Thing I Saw on TV Last Month \u2013 Alex, Bill, and Josh talk about a show/episode/event they liked from the last month including HBO\u2019s We Own This City; Netflix\u2019s Russian Doll S2; Disney Plus\u2019s Moon Knight; and AppleTV Plus\u2019s Severance & Pachinko.

News Break \u2013 Alex, Bill, and Josh discuss all the latest news around Netflix\u2019s bad month, including their expected subscriber losses, their layoffs in editorial and animation, their ill-considered (in our opinion) plans to turn things around, and a recent piece from Vanity Fair reporting on their declining commitment to premium scripted content as the seek to broaden their appeal to a wider audience.

Streaming Wars \u2013 Alex, Bill, and Josh pick a streamer they think \u201cwon the month\u201d based on new shows airing/upcoming shows announced etc. This month, the guys AGAIN all voted unanimously, but this time it was for HBOMAX, as it\u2019s role in the newly formed Warner Bros. Discovery corporation takes shape; it debuts some stellar TV (We Own This City, Barry, The Staircase, The Flight Attendant, Hacks); and The Batman breaks records.

New Series Spotlight \u2013 Alex, Bill, and Josh watched Dustin Lance Black\u2019s tale of murder and corruption in a small Mormon town in Utah, Under the Banner of Heaven, starring Andrew Garfield, Daisy Edgar Jones, Wyatt Russell, Sam Worthington, and Gil Birmingham. Check out the first two episodes now streaming on Hulu.
