It's a romance with a Hot Priest this month as we discuss season 2 of Fleabag. And we have a special guest as our good friend Karen finally joins us for a conversation.

Everything about this show is simply fantastic. The writing, the acting, the casting, it's all top-notch.

The aggressive moisturizing the therapist does because she has dry forearms is so weird. Because dry elbows? Sure. But forearms? And yet, we still love it.

We talk about doomed romances from our past, the chemistry between Fleabag and Hot Priest, and if it matters that some characters don't have names.

Up next, it's Tom Hiddleston doing spy shit as we will be watching season 1 of The Night Manager, available on Amazon Prime.

This month, we visit a world where people have superpowers as we discuss Hulu's Extraordinary. We mostly talk season 1 but we do get into season 2 a little bit.

It's really fun to see all the powers people have. They really run the gamut from the expected of people who can fly or teleport to a guy who has a 3D printer ass.

It's such a fun and quirky show in that great British comedy vein. Kash might actually have one of the most interesting powers with his ability to turn back time and the lesson he finally learns at the end of season 2 is quite profound.

Rachael shares her top 5 Jizzlord quotes because the way that man delivers those lines is just gold. Jizzlord really is our favorite.

Of course, we discuss what superpowers we would want to have.

Up next, we will be watching season 2 of Fleabag, available on Amazon Prime.

Strap in, folks. This is our longest episode to date because there is A LOT to talk about with season 2 of Interview with the Vampire.

Unfortunately, Rachael had a hard time getting into this season because the actors were just not pretty enough. /sarcasm Though, it did honestly take Evelyn a few episodes to really get into it.

The only complaint any of us have is that Evelyn had a hard time connecting with the actors a bit because of the contact lenses. But overall, the series really is wonderful.

The Claudia and Madeleine relationship might be one of the most tragic things in the show. Armand continues to be so fascinating because of this dichotomy of a vampire who has so much power but acts so powerless.

Up next, we will be watching season 1 (and maybe season 2) of the Hulu original series Extraordinary.

How would you survive if you had to live in a bunker? Find out as we discuss Season 1 of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. We're gonna be honest, this conversation wanders a little bit but we still have fun!

This show is just so fun and happy, which is a little odd considering the rather serious subject matter.

We love how all of the characters are written. Especially Kimmy. It would be very easy to make her just an idiot. But while she's naive, she is not stupid.

The one thing we do wonder about is Jane Krakowski's character being written as a Native American. We're sure there's a reason for it, but that storyline may not have aged as well as some of the others.

Why isn't Ellie Kemper in more things? As the lead? She's amazing and we love her.

Next month, it's spooky season so we're heading back to the world of Anne Rice and watching Season 2 of Interview with the Vampire! It's available on Netflix as of September 30th, but is currently available on Hoopla. (Support your local library!!)

Whodunnit?? This month, we podcast about a show that's about a podcast as we discuss Season 1 of Only Murders in the Building.

Rachael and Evelyn really like this show. For Kerri, it was just okay. She would have preferred to be let in on what was actually going on earlier, and then watching the team figure it out would still have been engaging.

We do like the relationship between Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez. They are a lot of fun together.

Jane Lynch being Steve Martin's stunt double might be one of the best things that happened on this show.

Up next, we head back over to Netflix as we watch Season 1 of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.

Squid Game has finally come to an end with season 3 (2.5??). But was it satisfying? It certainly wasn't what we were expecting.

First of all, WHAT IS CATE BLANCHETT DOING IN SQUID GAME??? As awesome as that is and as much as there is potential for worldwide Squid Games, we don't need any more. We're good with this show being it.

The VIPs are still just awkward, and they really don't need to speak. Just having them be a looking presence would have been enough.

We really feel for Gyeong-seok. How do you return to your life after going through such an experience? Especially, since no one else knows what happened.

Next month, The Bag has spoken and we will be watching season 1 of Only Murders in the Building.

We visit the Korean afterlife this month as we watch the 2022 Netflix K-Drama, Tomorrow.

TRIGGER WARNING: This show deals heavily with themes of suicide and sexual assault. Please take care of yourself and skip this episode if those topics are troubling for you.

However, given the very serious nature of the topics covered in this show, it is truly life-affirming.

The show handles all the subjects very carefully and respectfully, but we feel it dropped the ball a bit with the follow-up after the person is "saved." What happens with them from there? Are these people now getting professional help?

There are also some issues with how the "rules" of this afterlife work. They're not as consistent as they should be.

Next month, we'll be watching the sure-to-be exciting final season of Squid Game.

It's time to visit the future as we explore the moral and ethical ramifications of the digital afterlife with 2020's Amazon Prime series, Upload.

We discuss if we would upload, our feelings on the sex suits, and whether Nathan is being held hostage by Ingrid. Also, which scifi franchise has the best self-driving cars?

Kevin Bigley (Luke) totally has BDE - Big DeLuise Energy. Nathan and Nora are just the cutest. We love them. Aleesha and Luke are also just amazing.

Our next watch will be the K Drama Tomorrow.
