Afterward, it’s fall preview time, and Kate and Noel dive in with the rest of the calendar year’s currently scheduled TV offerings. Going day by day, the duo list off the current return dates for shows premiering in the next three months and dive in more fully with the new series debuting this fall that they’ve already been able to get a look at. Take a listen, then chime in below with the shows you’re most interested in this fall, both new and returning favorites.

I could not believe at all that Chandra would smuggle drugs into prison (kissing Nas could be chalked up to a momentary impulse). On the other hand, I had no problem believing Nas’ drug use. In the very first episode he does drugs because a girl he wants to like him offers them. In prison the stakes are much higher for fitting in, and he has a bleaker existence he wants to escape from. He was mostly a kid who went along to get along, even when he shouldn’t (like when the police are questioning you without a lawyer). So I liked the show overall even if there were some glaring flaws (most notably with Chandra) and I didn’t care about the cat.
For those annoyed that nobody was pointing out inaccurate/unrealistic things in the show, Vulture did a podcast with some legal experts on the show (who dislike most legal shows except Better Call Saul):
