TV Break: November 2020 - The Mandalorian; Truth Seekers; Star Trek Discovery; & The Collapse of Live Sports

Pop Break’s Television 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 Josh talk
about a show/episode/event they liked from the last month
including Netflix's The Great British Baking Show; Amazon's Truth
Seekers; & CBS All Access's Star Trek: Discovery.


News Break – Alex, Bill, and Josh discuss the surprising news of
a sharp reduction in ratings for ALL of Live Sports on TV and
what factors may be behind this new trend. For more information,
check out THR's coverage.


Streaming Wars – Alex, Bill, and Josh pick a streamer they think
“won the month” based on new shows airing/upcoming shows
announced etc. Bill & Josh decided Disney+ won yet again
thanks to the start of The Mandalorian, the recent news about
Soul, and their great Halloween offerings. However, Alex chose a
fresh entry into the war by selecting IMDbTV after they announced
a partnership with Judge Judy.


Series Spotlight – Alex, Bill, and Josh break the rules to review
the season two premiere of Disney+ Original The Mandalorian.
