This week at the Emmys, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel won big (a result we have very different feelings about) but The Americans was overlooked in key categories (we're both pretty rageful about this one). We talk about the show, the best moments, the many bad moments and all the biggest awards of the night.

In our debut episode, we discuss the current season of Jane The Virgin, whether or not it should be considered a guilty pleasure (and what even IS a guilty pleasure?) and we introduce ourselves a bit by sharing about the shows that transformed us into the passionate TV fans we are.
Our sound levels were a little off this first time out but we worked to make it sound as good as possible. The end result is pretty good (better when you listen with headphones) but we promise it'll improve with future episodes.
