Dave is joined by Darryl for Geektown Radio Episode 493, and this week’s show is led by chat about Swedish thriller Vaka, oddball sci-fi comedy The Miniature Wife, the return of The Boys, and why Daredevil: Born Again finally feels like it has found its footing.
Darryl kicks things off with Vaka, a Swedish mini-series on Prime Video built around an insomnia epidemic that spirals into chaos in Stockholm. He also finishes Furies Season 1 on Netflix, with Season 2 already out now, and checks in on Daredevil: Born Again, which now seems to be in a much stronger place creatively than it was at the start.
There is also discussion around Netflix’s Italian period legal drama The Law According to Lidia Poët, plus more superhero trauma and blood-soaked chaos from Invincible.
On Dave’s side, he wraps up The Pitt Season 1, moves straight into Season 2, and remains completely sold on it as one of the standout dramas of the year. He also starts The Miniature Wife, starring Matthew Macfadyen and Elizabeth Banks, and dives back into The Boys for its fifth and final season. There is also a quick check-in on Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord, plus a reminder that voting for the Geekstorians Webby closes on Thursday, 16th April.
In the news section, they cover renewals for Welcome to Wrexham, Would I Lie To You?, Shetland, Rooster, Memory of a Killer, Emily in Paris, The Rookie and Will Trent. There is also confirmation of Extraction 3, a premiere date for Dark Matter Season 2, and news on Netflix’s new undercover drama Legends.
They also chat about Uma Thurman returning for Dexter: Resurrection Season 2, new cast joining Wednesday Season 3, and the BBC bringing back Philomena Cunk for Cunk on Cinema.
Plus, they round up what is coming to TV next week, including Doc, Margo’s Got Money Troubles, Beef Season 2, Bergerac, Big Mood, Hacks, The Murder Line, Kevin and Tracker.
Listen now for TV reviews, film news, superhero chaos and the usual Geektown mix of enthusiasm, side tangents and geeky nonsense.
