A Million Little TV Shows Podcast

119 - S10 EP02 - Inside No 9 S09 Ep1-3

We’re in the final act. Inside No. 9 ushers us into its last season, and the opening trio of episodes delivers the same uncanny mix of humour, horror, and that stubborn, lingering dread we love.
Episode 1: “Boo to a Goose” throws a cast of passengers into a stalled train carriage—what begins as creeping paranoia around a missing purse spirals into something altogether more dystopian and surreal, ending in a bone-chilling twist that makes you question who (or what) is actually seated beside you.
Episode 2: “The Trolley Problem” strips things down to just two voices in a dimly lit room. What starts as a quiet therapy session between a desperate man and a well-meaning practitioner spirals into a chilling philosophical duel, exploring moral dilemmas with the weight—and fun—of a Hitchcockian duel.
Episode 3: “Mulberry Close” reframes suburban dread through the vantage of a doorbell cam, capturing judgment, suspicion, and paranoia through pixelated frames. One missing neighbour, a murdered dog, and perfectly timed false leads make this story pitch-perfect satire.
Through these episodes, Inside No. 9 reminds us why it’s spent nine seasons walking us back into our own blind spots—with laughter, mild discomfort, and that exquisite sense that nothing is as banal as it seems.

118 - S10 EP01 - Mindhunter S01 Ep1-3

We’re kicking off a brand-new season of A Million Little TV Shows Podcast with a deep dive into the shadowy world of Mindhunter—and trust us, it’s not light viewing.
In Episodes 1 through 3, we meet Holden and Bill, two FBI agents trying to bring psychology into criminal investigations, long before “serial killer” was even a household phrase. We’re talking about the unsettling interviews, the brilliant (and terrifying) Ed Kemper, and how the show makes conversations in beige rooms some of the most chilling TV you’ll ever watch.
Plus, we get into Holden’s obsession (red flag much?), Bill’s weariness, and Wendy’s arrival—aka the moment the team starts to feel complete. And of course, we ask the big question: how far can you go into the darkness without bringing it back with you?
It’s smart. It’s scary. And we may never look at an empty interview room the same way again. 🖤🕵️‍♂️🔪

Bonus Season 9 Outtakes

Even A Million Little TV Shows leave a million little bloopers. In this special bonus episode, I'm pulling back the curtain and sharing the moments that didn’t quite make the cut—flubbed lines, tangents that went nowhere, and laughs that went everywhere. It’s messy, it’s unpolished, and it’s a whole lot of fun. Think of it as the director’s blooper reel… but for your ears.

117 - S09 EP13 - Inside No 9 S08 Ep4-6

Just when we thought we knew how to watch Inside No. 9, Season 8 yanks the rug out again. In Episodes 4 through 6, the show swings between brutal, hilarious, and quietly heartbreaking—with twists that hit like emotional sucker punches.
This week, we’re talking about:
“Love Is a Stranger” – An unnerving look at dating apps, trust, and identity that had us questioning everyone. Sleek, unsettling, and sneakily tragic.
“3 by 3” – A deceptively simple game show setup that slowly morphs into something sinister. Also: trivia has never been so stressful.
“The Last Weekend” – A sunlit holiday getaway that descends into psychological warfare. Old friends, new resentments, and a twist that left us staring at the credits in silence.
These final episodes remind us why Inside No. 9 is still one of TV’s most unpredictable shows: it’s not just about shocking you—it’s about making you feel something after the shock wears off.
No jump scares. Just slow burns, sharp turns, and endings you’ll think about days later. 🎭🧠💔

116 - S09 EP12 - Saint X S01 Ep5-8

 
We’ve reached the second half of Saint X, and while we were hoping for answers… what we got instead was ambiguity, obsession, and some seriously haunting truths.
In Episodes 5 through 8, the show dives deeper into Emily’s unraveling—how her need for clarity starts to blur the line between justice and fixation. And as more pieces of Alison’s story come into view, we’re left wondering: was it ever about finding out what really happened? Or just finding someone to blame?
This week, we’re breaking down the emotional fallout, the show’s powerful commentary on race, privilege, and perception, and that ending—quiet, unsettling, and designed to linger. We talk about how trauma warps memory, how guilt lives in silence, and why the show's refusal to give us a clean resolution might be the most honest thing about it.
Not all mysteries want to be solved. Some just want to be felt. 🌊📚🕯️

115 - S09 EP11 - Sharp Objects S01 Ep5-8

Whew. Episodes 5 through 8 of Sharp Objects are a slow, spiraling descent into something weirder, sadder, and way more disturbing than your standard whodunnit. And now that we’ve reached the end—we need a moment. Or several.
This week, we’re processing everything: Camille’s unraveling (and how Amy Adams somehow gets even better?), Adora’s twisted maternal instincts, and that bone-chilling final twist. You know the one. The teeth. The dollhouse. The three words. (We’re still recovering.)
We also talk about how the show uses silence, flashbacks, and sound to create tension without ever needing to over-explain—and why the emotional horror of this story hits just as hard as the physical one. Because in the end, this wasn’t just about murder. It was about mothers, memory, and the kind of pain that carves itself into you and never really leaves.
This finale wasn’t loud—but it was devastating. And yeah, we’ll never look at a miniature room the same way again. 🕯️🦷💔

114 - S09 EP10 - Kevin Can F**k Himself S02 Ep5-8

Well… that’s it. The final episodes of Kevin Can F**k Himself bring the story home—and it’s not the sitcom ending anyone was expecting (thank God).
In Episodes 5 through 8, everything Allison’s been running from comes crashing down: the lies, the schemes, the carefully crafted image of “Kevin’s wife.” The walls close in—on her, on Patty, and even on Kevin himself. But instead of a big blow-up or a clean escape, the show dares to ask: what does freedom actually look like when the damage is already done?
We’re breaking down that emotionally loaded final stretch, the unexpected softness of some character choices, and why the show’s refusal to give us easy catharsis is exactly what makes it brilliant. Also: can we talk about that last scene? Because… whoa.
Sitcoms teach us to laugh it off. This show never let us. And we’re so glad it didn’t. 💔🎭🕯️

113 - S09 EP9 - Inside No 9 S08 Ep1-3

We’re back in the twisted world of Inside No. 9, and Season 8 wastes no time messing with our heads—in the best way. Episodes 1 through 3 give us murder mysteries, theatrical illusions, and that signature blend of dark humor and emotional gut punches.
This week, we’re breaking down:
“The Bones of St Nicholas” – A Christmas ghost story that had us side-eyeing every corner of the church (and maybe questioning our life choices).
“Mother’s Ruin” – Peak gothic-meets-grimy crime tale with a delicious twist we didn’t see coming (okay, maybe we did, but we didn’t want to admit it).
“Paraskevidekatriaphobia” – Say that three times fast while trying not to scream. A claustrophobic comedy of superstitions that proves Reece and Steve are still the masters of dread-meets-farce.
From haunted halls to unlucky Fridays, these first three episodes remind us: never get too comfortable. Because with Inside No. 9, the punchline is always loaded. 🎭🔪🕰️
