Welcome to It's In My Queue, hosted by Adina and Kara. They both watch too much television for their own good. They'll watch most anything and share their thoughts with each other, and with you, too! Each episode, they watch the pilot episode of a different television show. Maybe it's one they've seen before, maybe it's something one of them has seen but the other hasn't, or maybe it's completely brand new to both of them! They'll talk through the episode, sharing their initial thoughts and deciding if they want to keep watching. Join in as they try to clear out their queue!
