Discussion: What Should I Watch on The Criterion Channel?

Call it recency bias, or call it fate: For the past month I've been bumping into Andrei Tarkovsky. It's not like he goes to my Trader Joe's (he's dead), but people keep mentioning him in my presence. Since my apophenia knows no bounds, I decided it was time to watch some Tarkovsky, starting with Andrei Rublev.

This Week: Why Didn't Anyone Tell Me?

Mikey Heinrich: Oh my God, why did no one tell me???

Actually, maybe it's cooler that I just stumbled across it as fait accompli tv.

This Week: Archie Just Got Mauled by a Bear

An Honest Fangirl: These last few weeks have been very hectic for me, and I’m behind on a lot of my shows. I did manage to see Ready or Not 2, though, and it was a ton of fun. It was great to see Sarah Michelle Gellar in something again.

What’s everyone else watching/reading/playing?

This Week: At Least We'll Always Have David Tennant

What are you all watching?

I have to say that Star Trek: Starfleet Academy is not working out for me. I keep doing that painful yawning where tears come into your eyes. I was so thrilled when they cast Holly Hunter as the lead, but what are they doing to her?

Stranger Things: Season Five Discussion

We're covering the fifth and final season of Stranger Things with a discussion post. Five of the Agents of Doux participated.

And we're off! Please note that this discussion is chock full o' spoilers. If you haven't seen season five yet and you plan to, you might want to come back later.

Discussion: What Are Your Best & Worst of 2025?

The Agents of DOUX have posted their Best of 2025 lists, but that doesn't mean we've got a comprehensive database of the good, the bad, and the weird.

So we're turning it over to you, the Doux Reviews readers: what were your best TV shows and movies this year? What about books? Video games? This is also a great place to talk about the stuff that wasn't necessarily good, but stuck with you in some odd way.

This Week: Happy Halloween!

Billie Doux: I'm enjoying the third season of The Diplomat and I'm looking forward to the second season of Nobody Wants This. With the final season approaching, I'm rewatching Outlander while still avoiding the spinoff Blood of my Blood. (It's amazing that they call it BOB instead of BomB. They probably don't want it to bomb.) I might be doing some Outlander novella reviews.

What is everyone watching this week?

This Week: A Change in the Fluffy

An Honest Fangirl: We haven't done one of these in a while, so let's throw out a broader question. What was your favorite tv/movie/book/etc that you consumed this past summer? Alternatively, is there anything coming up for this fall season that you're particularly excited for?

I had been looking forward to the latest FBI spinoff titled CIA, simply because it's starring Tom Ellis, but apparently it's been pushed back to a midseason premiere. The Pitt also isn't coming back until January so I'm mainly waiting for winter.

Discussion: What Have You Learned from TV?

We haven’t done a discussion in a while, and I’ve been pondering this question a lot recently.

This Week: Revisiting the Arrowverse

Billie Doux: While I am still watching the nearly grown eaglet chicks at Big Bear, my cat Kara has (with my help) just discovered Cat TV on YouTube. She seems to find the fish boring, but the squirrels too exciting. Every time they run off the screen, Kara bobs behind the television, trying to see where they went. Birdies seem to be a nice compromise, although she keeps batting at the screen.

This Week: Literally Nothing I Can't Tie Back to Doctor Who

Mikey Heinrich: OK, so lately my only real night of appointment TV is Ghosts and Elsbeth which air Thursdays on CBS. And by night, I do mean that I get around to streaming them sometime Friday or Saturday.

Regardless, this week the new episode of Ghosts was titled "I Know What You Did Thirty-Seven Summers Ago" and the new episode of Elsbeth is titled "I Know What You Did Thirty-Three Summers Ago" and apparently, according to every online source I can think to look at, it's just a complete coincidence.

This Week: The M Word

Billie Doux: Murderbot is coming to Apple+ in May! We have to find a way to cover this one. I read the book series for the first time fairly recently and I've been looking forward to seeing it on the screen. Skarsgård!

This Week: It has Abed from Community

I decided to watch Suits LA when it premiered on Sunday. I liked Stephen Amell a lot on Arrow, I liked the original show, the original creator is doing it, it seemed like a good time.

Valentine's Day Discussion! Who is Your Favorite TV Couple?

What's your favorite movie or TV couple, or kiss? The Agents of Doux just discussed this topic thoroughly in the writers' room. And of course, spoiler warning. If you've never seen all of certain TV shows, especially Buffy, there is some risk of spoilage.

Billie Doux: My favorite television couple ever, like this is a surprise, is...

Discussion: What's Your Best of 2024?

The Agents of DOUX have submitted their Best of 2024 lists, but that doesn't mean we've got a comprehensive database of the good, the bad, and the weird.

This Week: I'm Clearly Michael Sheen Stalking

Mikey Heinrich: Has anybody else watched Staged with David Tennant and Michael Sheen? It really is very, very funny.

Agatha All Along: Season One

This is a collaborative review of the first season of Agatha All Along. Samantha M. Quinn and An Honest Fangirl talk about their thoughts and opinions. While they keep the bigger reveals mostly spoiler free, there are references to events in the show that could be considered spoilery.

This discussion also contains spoilers for WandaVision and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

This Week: Do You Watch Anything Special on Halloween?

What is everyone watching this week? Do you watch anything special on Halloween? I used to watch the Buffy Halloween episodes around this time of year, since I'm not a horror movie fan.

This Week: Excellent Glares

An Honest Fangirl: Now that fall TV has come back, what is everyone watching?

I tried two new shows. A Murder in a Small Town was very good. Apparently it’s based on a book? It stars Kristen Kreuk as a librarian love interest, and was a lot cozier than I expected it to be.

This Week: LinkedIn is Innately Evil

Billie Doux: So what is everyone watching this week?

I am so pleased to share the news that the Canadian time travel series Continuum is available again in the U.S. It just popped up on Prime, and I'm already rewatching. If you like exciting, complex time travel stories and didn't catch Continuum when it first aired, give it a try. It's one of those shows that keeps adding layers of complexity and coolness as it progresses.
