There’s a new streaming service out called The Network, and it just dropped a new series, The Artist. Set in 1906 Rhode Island, the show follows Norman and Marian Henry (Mandy Patinkin and Janet McTeer), a powerful but couple in a rocky marriage whose estate becomes ground zero for a murder mystery. Part upstairs/downstairs drama and part absurd comedy, it brings a modern, loosely improvised energy to period TV in a way that sits somewhere between The Great and Dickinson. The ensemble includes Danny Huston as Edgar Degas and Hank Azaria as Thomas Edison, and in the premiere their storylines. Tune in to hear our pros, cons, comparisons, and rating.

All Her Fault
Do you know where your kid is? All Her Fault is Peacock’s new eight-episode thriller based on Andrea Mara’s Sunday Times bestseller.

We also get into the book’s darker reveals, the series’ pacing problems, what the finale nails, what it fumbles, and our rating. Tune in. Welcome to Today’s Episode!
