In a crowded field of psychological thrillers comes Apple TV+’s latest star-studded adaptation of Araminta Hall’s 2020 bestseller. On the podcast, we break down the show’s premiere episodes, “Eleanor” and “Crush,” while discussing the plot, the changes from the book, favorite characters, comparisons, and the immediate reception. The story is simple, revolving around three women — Mary, Nancy, and Eleanor — and the ramifications when one of them is murdered. The showrunner, Annie Weisman, has worked on California-based productions before, so it’s no surprise the show’s setting was moved from the UK to SoCal. Tune in to hear our full rundown.

Tehran has just completed Season 3, cranking the tension up to another bomb-ticking, messy, 24 Jack Bauer-level finale! The espionage thriller follows Tamar Rabinyan (Niv Sultan), a Mossad hacker-agent embedded in Iran, as she fights to survive while trying to win back the trust of her agency. Hugh Laurie jumps in this season as Eric Peterson, a nuclear inspector with cloudy loyalties.   
On this episode, we recap the full Season 3. We are breaking down all the season’s major threads, from the twists, betrayals, and new characters, to the hidden motivations, deus ex machina moments, and all the bullets and Krav Maga. Plus, Tamar and Faraz are back in their classic cat-and-mouse chase and blackmail scenes.

On this podcast, we do our best to recap Season 2 while also discussing new characters, historical trivia, funny moments, weird plot decisions, reception, and so on and so forth. You know the deal.
