Binge or Cringe?

By Cassidy, Jake and Josh

Can you tell if a show is worth watching from just the first episode?

Cassidy, Jake and Josh aim to find out as they review the first episode of a new show each week. From hidden gems to the wildly popular, we decide whether a TV show is worth the binge or simply too cringe.
