Needs Some Introduction - House of the Dragon/The Patient

E143: House of the Dragon - Season 1 - Episode 6 - The Princess and The Queen

Wait a second? Did we miss a season of TV? This is another excellently crafted episode of TV but I think they dropped a couple of the scripts somewhere. Arguably, the most interesting events may have been left off screen. Let's hope all this time-hopping is worth it. Then I recommend Three Thousand Years of Longing and Celia recommends Modern Love (Amazon Prime).

E142: The Patient - Episode 5 - Pastitsio PLUS: Do Revenge (Netflix) and Adnan Syed’s release

A much better episode of The Patient, this week. I have some hope that the show has some surprises to come.  Plus, Sona and I discuss the vacating of Adnan Syed's conviction.  (24:00) Finally, we discuss Do Revenge, a fun (but slight) teen revenge comedy on Netflix. (41:00)

E141: House of the Dragon - Episode 5 - We Light the Way

Another solid episode. We don't get a red wedding... but it doesn't go great.

E140: The Patient Episode 4 PLUS: Barbarian - Review and Spoilers

Sona and I have seen a slightly better episode of The Patient, this week. But it may be too little too late for Sona. Then Celia and I break down the very entertaining new horror film, Barbarian.

E139: House of the Dragon - Episode 4 - King of the Narrow Sea

The show tops itself again with an episode about the power of sex; as a tool, as a commodity and as a weapon. 

E138: The Patient - Episode 3 - Issues PLUS: Thoroughbreds (HBO Max)

Sona and I discuss the third episode of The Patient on Hulu. We still cannot get our bearings on this show and we are not enjoying it, so far. The short run time which seemed like a positive, at first, seems to be a limitations, now, with these episodes unable to achieve any momentum before they are over.  On a more positive note we discuss Thoroughbreds which has returned to HBO Max. This first film by writer/director features two young actresses that have already begun to emerge as key talents of their generation and introduced a director (and writer) with a lot of talent and promise.

E137: House of the Dragon - Season 1 - Episode 3 - Second of His Name

Best episode yet. 

E136: The Patient - Episode 1 and 2 (Hulu)

Sona and I recap the rocky start to the new Hulu thriller, The Patient.

E135:House of the Dragon - Episode 2 - The Rogue Prince

Another strong episode (in my opinion). The show is finding its footing. Celia has a little less patience for it. I do agree that there is a few too many council meetings.

E134: Only Murders In the Building - Season 2 Finale! PLUS: Bodies Bodies Bodies

If you just want to hear the Bodies Bodies Bodies review, jump to 23:00 emailto:needssomeintroduction@gmail.com We make it to the end of the season. I find this season less entertaining, overall, than the first. They needed to tighten up the mystery. Plus, where are the laughs? Everyone feels a little tired. Then I recommend Bodies Bodies Bodies the new A24 mystery, horror, comedy.
