EP 35 - Case Closed: The Season 2 Finale

It’s the Season 2 finale, and we’re closing out The Bubble the only way we know how — with final verdicts, real honesty, and just a little bit of chaos. This week, we wrap our 3-episode trial of ABC’s RJ Decker to see if it actually delivered beyond the pilot or if it’s still trying to figure itself out. Then it’s time for our final Bubble Rewind check-in on Between Brothers — now that we’ve seen it all, we’re asking the bigger question: was it ahead of its time… or exactly where it was meant to be? And of course, we’re ending the season with our full Bubble rankings. What did we finish? What did we drop? What surprised us? And which show is getting put on the pedestal as our official #1 of Season 2? A full season of TV, one last round of opinions, and a proper send-off before we step away (just for a bit). We’ll see you next season. 🎙️✨ Sources The Burbs scores season 2 renewal - TV Line [https://www.tvline.com/2147359/the-burbs-renewed-season-2-peacock-keke-palmer/] The Rookie renewed at ABC - TV Line [https://www.tvline.com/2145701/the-rookie-renewed-season-9-abc/] Best Firefighter Shows Ranked - TV Line [https://www.tvline.com/2142539/best-firefighter-shows-ranked/]

EP 34 - "Put It on Your Cabbage!"

Some shows make it easy to talk. Others… make you work for it. This week, we wrap our 3-episode trial of The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins, and let’s just say—this one tested us. From awkward laughs to “wait…what was that supposed to be?” moments, we’re breaking down whether this NBC comedy ever finds its rhythm or stays stuck in neutral. Before that, we check in with a quick Current Obsession and run through the latest in TV news (because the networks never sleep—even when we want them to). Then it’s time for the Bubble Scorecard—where we call it like we see it—and give our final verdict: is this one worth sticking with… or already on its way out? Three episodes. One decision. And a lot of thoughts. Welcome back inside The Bubble. 🎙️✨ Sources Memory of a Killer scores season 2 renewal - Variety [https://variety.com/2026/tv/news/memory-of-a-killer-season-2-fox-renews-1236710024/]

EP 33 - Memory Test

Spring break is over, and The Bubble is back with another check-in from the network TV trenches. This week, we continue our look at Memory of a Killer, digging into episodes two and three to see whether the tension is building, the characters are clicking, and if this thriller is starting to earn our attention beyond the pilot. Is the premise getting sharper—or already showing strain? We also return to Between Brothers for another rewind, now deep enough in the episode count to ask what the show was becoming before it disappeared. Plus, as always, there’s TV news, opinions, and a few side turns only we could make along the way.

EP 32 - The Rewind and the Rookie

Back from our little spring break, we’re easing back into The Bubble with a clean but packed episode. First up: our surprise Bubble Alert addition, ABC’s RJ Decker, enters the trial lineup and gives us plenty to unpack after just one episode — from first impressions to whether this detective drama knows exactly what kind of show it wants to be. Then it’s time for our second Bubble Rewind check-in with Between Brothers. Eight episodes in, the late-90s sitcom is giving us more character rhythms, stronger pairings, and a few new questions about what might have been if it had lasted longer. And finally, we launch our first-ever March Madness TV Bracket — where beloved favorites face off, questionable loyalties are exposed, and at least one winner may cause debate. A new pilot, an old sitcom, and television chaos… basically, business as usual inside The Bubble. 🎙️✨ Back from our little spring break, we’re easing back into The Bubble with a clean but packed episode.

EP 31 - Slashers & Scorecards

This week inside The Bubble, we’re embracing a little Friday the 13th energy. First, we check in on the 2026 Oscars race ahead of Sunday’s ceremony and share where Bianca is in her annual Best Picture watch. Then it’s time for our first Bubble Scorecard of the year as we wrap our three-episode trial of Best Medicine and decide if the new Fox drama deserves a spot in the queue… or a trip to the cancellation zone. And because it’s Friday the 13th — and Women’s History Month — we’re celebrating some of our favorite “Good For Her” horror movies, featuring iconic final girls, revenge arcs, and women who absolutely refuse to go quietly. Slashers, scorecards, and a few strong opinions — just the way we like it.
