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

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.

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

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).

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.

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.

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.

This may be the worst episode yet although it does tease a potentially interesting subsequent episode. So much relies on the next two episodes.
Then I review and spoil the new sci-fi series, 1899, on netflix and find surprising parallels to Don't Worry Darling.

Ominous tides appear in the third episode of the season but for whom remains unclear.
Everyone wants to be bad, this week, but only Cam really succeeds.
Then we discuss Olivia Wild's fascinating misfire, Don't Worry Darling, now available on HBO.

Maybe the best episode of the season, so far. Nonetheless, we keep adding new concepts without resolving existing questions. I'm hoping that doors begin to close, next week.
Then we discuss the Andor season up until this point, in preparation for the finale in two weeks.
