It’s a very trying episode of the Pilot TV Podcast we have in store for you this week, folks. No, no, it’s not a bad one — fear not! Rather, we’re actually talking all things Apple TV’s Trying Season 5 with the cosy core comedy’s star and executive producer Esther Smith. [38:15 — 48:52 approx.] Plus we pick through the wreckage of the TV schedules this week to try and find shows that haven’t been consumed by the world cup, only to stumble across a Scottish crime drama in The Dark on ITV, a remake of Japanese supernatural story Human Vapor on Netflix, and the long-awaited second season of X-Men ‘97 on Disney+.
All that, and James Dyer, Steph Seelan, and Boyd Hilton even find the time to plan their perfect TV-themed getaways as well as diving into this week’s telly news — including Tom Hardy’s MobLand reverse ferret and Yellowstone TV universe architect Taylor Sheridan’s somewhat spicy recent comments on the current landscape of film and television. Yippee!
