The Televerse #471- Spotlight on High Seas Season 1 with Keenan Caldwell

It’s another challenging week, so we’re going full ridiculous, escapist fare this episode. Noel and Kate kick things off with some TV news, then move to a truncated week in TV. Noel catches us up with We Bare Bears: The Movie, then Kate checks in with The Great Canadian Baking Show, we both talk Blown Away season one, and Kate teases the Holey Moley II: The Sequel finale. We round out the week with some thoughts on a disappointing Lovecraft Country, and then head to the spotlight section. This episode, we welcome friend of the show Keenan Caldwell to help us discuss season one of Netflix’s Alta Mar, or High Seas. Melodramatic murder mystery mayhem on a transatlantic voyage! Fabulous ensembles and cabins and tropes for days. Tune in for our thoughts, then reach out with your take on the week’s TV and the escapist programming you’ve been turning to.
