#297 Totally Completely Fine, Interview With The Vampire, and The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon

Author: Empire Magazine July 29, 2024 Duration: 1:22:19

We have vampires AND zombies this week in an undead double bill (Kay was thrilled) as well as people hurling themselves to a watery doom. More specifically, we tackle the second season of Interview With The Vampire on BBC2, The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon on Sky Max, and Totally Completely Fine on ITVX. But that’s not all, because we pull out some Paramount+ recommendations for those looking to drop into that streaming service (assuming you’ve forgiven them for cancelling Halo!), reel off some comfort watches for maternity leave and crunch some stats over recent streaming figures. All that while Boyd beams in from his holiday in NYC. Now that’s dedication.
