#178 Peacemaker, Pachinko, and Bridgerton

Author: Empire Magazine March 21, 2022 Duration: 1:22:49
James has lost his voice this week, which makes for a particularly absurd episode in which he goes full Baron Greenback and croaks his way through the entire show. And what a show it is, because not only does Netflix's raunchy Regency show, Bridgerton, return for series 2, but Apple's generation-spanning Pachinko makes its debut, and Peacemaker *finally* lands on Sky after a torturous three-month wait. All that and the team talk through shows they loved but refuse to revisit and the lost joy of internet forums.
