First, this is great news. I am looking forward to reading many of these reviews (Strange New Worlds, Righteous Gemstones, Justified, Only Murders, WWDITS), I am particularly glad to see the addition of Caroline as she was one of my favorite reviewers at the AVC.
re: your question about other streaming shows, shows that may generate some interest in a one-off newsletter, two I'd be interested in are:
Marvelous Mrs. Maisel's last season: technically not a binge-release, but I understand why there has been other focuses here on the site. Still, it did win the Emmy for Best Comedy and each season has been nominated.
The Great--haven't watched the new season yet, but really did enjoy the first two.
Me so happy to see this site continue to thrive and grow! And me just realized that if you were taking on new contributors, me missed golden opportunity to pitch self to review Mayhem! Me appreciate Muppets on deeper level than any of you!!!
so happy to see that there'll be weekly The Righteous Gemstones reviews!! such a great, ridiculous, mesmerising show. And even though I'd love to see reviews of The Bear, I totally understand why reviewing binge release shows is a zero sum game fir a newsletter like this. I wish they'd gone for weekly releases for s2, it's a show that really would have benefited from it
Quite the summer you've got lined up for us! Recent months haven't covered much that I'm watching live, so I'm looking forward to this coming bounty, which for me will be Secret Invasion, What We Do in the Shadows, Justified: City Primeval, and Ahsoka, at least. And outside your coverage, we've also got new episodes of Black Mirror, I Think You Should Leave, and (somehow) Good Omens coming up, too!
It's great to see Caroline and Dennis (re)joining the fold. I don't know if there's any room for him to cover SNL here -- or when that'll even return, given the strike -- but I always valued the perspective he would bring to his A.V. Club reviews of that, especially the context of recurring bits from older seasons that I hadn't seen.
I'm not sure what it means for your metrics and how you gauge engagement, but for the record, I turn off all the newsletters because I how I feel about newsletters; however, I come here regularly to read everything that's related to my viewing habits and will continue to subscribe if y'all keep writing.
Great list! And hooray to see more awesome names join in! That said, I'm bummed that HBO Max's Warrior didn't make the cut :(
An ode to the dearly departed Cinemax, the best action scenes in television, and a tightly wrapped narrative led by Jonathan Tropper? And hey, racists get punched in the face!
As someone who tried to watch Justified late in it's run, but got overwhelmed by the number of episodes and gave up, will I get anything out of watching this revival season? I really enjoy Olyphant in general, and want to give it a chance if I can.
Oh HELL YEAH, so glad Caroline Seide will be writing over here, love her. And also happy that there will be Clone High coverage! I'm rewatching the first season right now. I'm also gonna watch The Afterparty so glad it'll be covered here as well!
Yay Caroline! Hoping she gets to cover RTD’s return to Doctor Who, specially as this year it’d only be three posts.

Looks to be a good summer.

TV, right? What a time to be alive.
Keep doing what you're doing; I love the writing (and community!) here, and you can always count on my support.
(I am indeed constantly wondering when Donna Bowman will be back, for what it's worth.)

Know you guys are relatively new, but are there any plans to do coverage of older shows like in the AV Club days?

Dr Who, definitely. And as John L stated older shows are a possibility.
Really excited for the return of Justified and delighted the site will be covering it.

Damn! I was not sure that I would watch The Secret Invasion but if Caroline is reviewing, it instantly becomes a must watch 😍
So no "American Born Chinese?"
