About this episode
The regular panelists had to forge ahead without esteemed colleague Kathryn VanArendonk in our discussion of Dickinson 's second season; that's the bad news. The good news is, we all like Apple TV's imagining of poet Emily Dickinson's life and loves with lots of swearing and twenty-first-century slang. How DOES the show balance the demands of historical fact with flights of fancy, and not take itself too seriously? And are Season 2's creepy [ character spoiler redacted ] the key to its success? Later, we went Around The Dial with The Masked Dancer , Everything Is Going Great , Cheers Season 5, Mr. Mayor 's debut, and Lupin and other "Pringle mysteries." A new detective franchise won, an old HBO franchise lost, and we continued the episode's verse theme with the Tara-crafted Tube Tunes VII. Pass Nobody an earbud for an all-new Extra Hot Great.
