Needs Some Introduction
As a lifelong film and TV fan I try to bring historical knowledge of narrative trends to my weekly analysis and reviews (and hopefully a bit of humor also).

This is a repost of our most recent episode for our new hosting site.
We have come to the end of another mixed bag of a MCU property. I still have a little concern as to the management of this current phase of MCU products. Hopefully, the Doctor Strange sequel is a bigger winner.

It's our 100 episode :). We forget to celebrate but we get another good episode of Saul (although it can't scale the heights of last week's epic). We are at the mid point of this first batch of episodes and if history is a guide, we should start to feel the pull of acceleration in the next 3. What is up with Gustavo's underground bunker and tunnel system? Maybe a hint of things to come.

I have a conversation with my big sis and we talk Barry. Plus I recommend The Shining Girls on AppleTV+ along with Tokyo Vice, Slow Horses and We Own This City. There is just too much TV to watch. It looks like the downpour subsides a tiny bit in May. Maybe I can catch up on all these other shows. Here's hoping.

We find out the fate of one of our non-Breaking Bad crossover characters. And he gets to shine brightest of all just as he flames out. He will be missed.
Plus I have yet another conversation about last week's premier episodes. And Sona and I both saw Russian Doll on Netflix and thought it was not as good as last season.

Better Call Saul season 6 is off to a great start with 2 episodes on par with their best. The tension from season 5 carries over immediately. And there are already some new mysteries to be resolved.

First, I have a long list of Severance related recommendations.
Next, Sona and I discuss the morality of Better Call Saul and discuss Season 5 (and the show in totality) as we prepare for next week's 2 episode premier.

Sona and I aren't huge fans of this trend of ending shows on cliffhangers but it seems to be the current way of the industry. We did really enjoy the episode and have so many questions about what is to come.
Plus, I recommend the very entertaining comedy/thriller show The Outlaws on Amazon Prime.

We get to see a bit of Irv in the outside world. Now we know why he has black under his nails. He likes Motorhead (wouldn't have guessed that). Helly and Mark kiss (!!). Is he cheating on his wife? Probably not, since he can't remember her anyway.
Then we discuss the embarrassing spectacle that the Oscars are. I recommend The Girl from Plainville on Hulu (at least the excellent pilot episode) and the AppleTV+ drama, Pachinko.

Here is the full episode. If you happened to catch the preview, fast forward to 40 minutes.
Diafiance is definitely the theme of the week. We open with a surprising act of violence.
There is a huge reveal at the end of this episode which makes me have to go back and rewatch all the interactions between two specific characters. There are lots of questions.
Is Cobel in perpetual Innie mode? How much does "the board" know about the actions of the rebels? Why is such a supposedly important project so understaffed? Will we ever see Innie Burt again?
Then we spoil the terrible (but still kind of fun) Deep Water on Hulu.
