TV Avalanche Podcast, Episode 16: ‘Master of None,’ ‘Twin Peaks,’ ‘Silicon Valley’ & More

With the broadcast TV season almost over, Alan and Brian try to find news from the network upfronts they found exciting, then open up the mailbag to discuss shows you couldn’t pay them to watch, the grosses symptom of Peak TV, what a major Netflix series finale would feel like, dumb TV sports scenes, the proper ranking of this season’s Leftovers episodes, and why Twin Peaks is so divisive that Alan loves it and Brian has no patience for it. After that, it’s spoiler time, with a look across all of Master of None season 2, a check-in with Silicon Valley at mid-season, and a discussion of last week’s The Americans.

As always, you can send questions to tvavalanche@uproxx.com, or tweet with the hashtag #TVAvalanche.
