TV Break: May 2023 - Succession Soars; Citadel Sinks; And WBD Starts Their Max Era

Welcome to TV Break, where Pop Break’s Podcasts Editor
Alex Marcus is joined by editor-in-chief Bill Bodkin, and TV
Columnist Josh Sarnecky to talk about the happenings in
television.


Here’s the format of the show:


The Best Thing I Saw on TV Last Month – Alex,
Bill, and Special Guest Host Aaron Sarnecky talk about a
show/episode/event they liked from the last month including HBO’s
Succession, AMC’s Better Call Saul (now on Netflix), and Disney
Plus’s The Mandalorian, Peter Pan & Wendy; Star Wars: Rebels,
and Marvel’s Luke Cage S1.


News Break – Alex, Bill, and Aaron discuss all
the details surrounding Warner Bros. Discovery’s Max
streaming service launch event.


Streaming Wars – Alex, Bill, and Aaron pick a
streamer they think “won the month” based on new shows
airing/upcoming shows announced etc. One month after the
historical Netflix stock market bubble burst, all three hosts
declare Netflix as the winner of the month, on the back of huge
TV ratings hits Beef, The Night Agent, The Diplomat, and Love is
Blind, adding 11 million subscribers since before the subscriber
dip that caused the stock evaluation crash last year, the Mighty
Morphin Power Rangers 30th anniversary special and John Mulaney
stand up special, and so much more.


New Series Spotlight – Alex, Bill, and Aaron
review Citadel, Prime Video’s global espionage
thriller about two spies who have forgotten that they were spies,
starring Richard Madden and Priyanka Chopra Jonas, and co-stars
Academy Award nominees Stanley Tucci and Lesley Manville and
produced by The Russo Brothers.
