As well as locking horns over the merits of HBO Max’s Anna Kendrick-starring Love Life and The Not-Too-Late Show with Elmo, we also head into some uncharted and pitched territory with a game of Never Have I Ever and reveal what shows we have actually never seen.
Add to that mix, a show we have both seen and love: Netflix’s Never Have I Ever (watch Dominic’s review here). As the Mindy Kaling- and Lang Fisher-created coming-of-age series with the remarkable Maitreyi Ramakrishnan gathers more acclaim, Dominic remotely chats with the executive producers about the very personal process of constructing something truly unique in this Peak TV era.
So listen in on that refreshingly honest interview and our take-no-prisoners, spare-no-egos (even our own) take on TV in a time of pandemic.
