Hosted by Rolling Stone Chief TV Critic, Alan Sepinwall, each episode features a celebrity guest who has never seen an extremely popular and groundbreaking television series. Together Alan and his guest watch the pilot and the finale episodes of a series- and nothing in between! Drawing on their own television experiences, and with Alan’s expertise and guidance, Alan’s guests make predictions for the series and discuss everything that has happened throughout its seasons.
We end our first season with Paul Scheer (Black Monday, The League) watching DEXTER through his fingers. Having only watched the first and final episodes, will he be able to stomach one of the most controversial finales of all time? See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
In an extra special episode of TL;DW, Gillian Jacobs (Community, Love) watches herself act in the pilot of THE GOOD WIFE. Did her brief experience giving a groundbreaking performance to the minor (yet incredibly important) role of Sonia the secretary give her a leg up in guessing where this series goes?

Primetime TV’s favorite couple Megan Mullally (Will & Grace, Children’s Hospital) and Nick Offerman (The Great North, Parks and Recreation) dig up their flannel to watch MY SO-CALLED LIFE. The series may have only lasted one season, but we can’t help but wonder how Karen Walker and Ron Swanson would handle so much teenage angst should they have been a part of this ’90s cult classic.

Eliza Coupe (Happy Endings, Future Man) comes on TL;DW to see what’s cooking in one of Alan’s favorite series, BREAKING BAD. Will she dig Walter White and Jesse Pinkman’s chemistry or be as lost as a Fleetwood Bounter in the New Mexico desert? Yeah, podcasts! Yeah, science!

Treat yo self to Sophia Bush (One Tree Hill, Chicago Med) getting crunk on snake juice! Uh, we mean... watching the first and last episodes of PARKS AND RECREATION with us. Will her love for TV match Leslie Knope’s unbridled enthusiasm for public service, friendship, and of course… waffles? See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
He may not have watched the whole series, but Rob Huebel (Children’s Hospital, Transparent) sat down with us pre-pandemic to watch THE LEFTOVERS, sparking a remarkably timely conversation about what lies ahead for the folks of Mapleton and the world alike.

Alison Brie (Promising Young Woman, Happiest Season) gets drunk with power as she watches GAME OF THRONES for the very first time.
