The Sexy Reality Show That Only Netflix Could Pull Off

If there's a theme to our critics' roundtable this week it might be things that should've been better than they wound up being. On paper, The Terminal List and The Great Muslim American Road Trip would look to be winners. Buyer beware, however.

At the opposite end of the spectrum, there's Netflix's How to Build a Sex Room and Hulu’s The Bear, which both surpass expectations. Join us as Primetimer's Aaron Barnhart, Mark Blankenship, Claire Spellberg Lustig and Deena ElGenaidi weigh in on these shows and more.

This podcast is brought to you by the new Primetimer Guide to Streaming TV. It's an old-fashioned cure for the modern headache of endless scrolling. More info at primetimerguide.com.
