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 \u2014 fear not! Rather, we’re actually talking all things Apple TV’s Trying<\/em> Season 5 with the cosy core comedy’s star and executive producer Esther Smith. [38:15 \u2014 48:52 approx.] Plus we pick through the wreckage of the TV schedules this week to try and find shows that haven\u2019t been consumed by the world cup, only to stumble across a Scottish crime drama in The Dark<\/em> on ITV, a remake of Japanese supernatural story Human Vapor<\/em> on Netflix, and the long-awaited second season of X-Men \u201897<\/em> on Disney+.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

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 \u2014 including Tom Hardy’s MobLand<\/em> reverse ferret and Yellowstone<\/em> TV universe architect Taylor Sheridan’s somewhat spicy recent comments on the current landscape of film and television. Yippee!<\/p>\n
