TV Avalanche Podcast, Episode 63: ‘Atlanta,’ ‘Killing Eve,’ ‘Barry,’ ‘The Americans’ & More

FX/BBC America

Welcome to another episode of TV Avalanche, where Brian Grubb and I try to sort out the best, worst, and most interesting things happening in Peak TV.

After a couple of weeks off since our last installment, we’re back with a very special episode where we check in on four of the year’s very best shows — including one apiece for each of us to declare the early frontrunner for our respective 2018 Top 10 lists — in Barry, Atlanta, Killing Eve, and The Americans. Lots to talk about with each, with full spoilers through the most recent aired episode, and I was especially glad to have a chance for an extended Killing Eve segment, since I’ve written nothing about the show yet for various dumb reasons, yet it’s a delight.

We open the show, though, with the roller coaster ride that was last week’s cancellation of Brooklyn Nine-Nine by Fox, followed swiftly by its resurrection by NBC. Brian also offers parting thoughts on disgraced magician crime procedural Deception, I yell at him at some point about a whole in his viewing history, and we close things out with Brian grieving the end of the Philadelphia 76ers 2018 NBA playoff run.
