Every week, we’ll be watching the shows together, recording our thoughts, feedback, praises and critiques. We're jumping on the bandwagon 15 years too late, and we invite you to come along!

There is a great divide between the crew as we disagree on an episode and whether or not the show has us on board. Also, Jet sucks.
