class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>This week&#8217;s monumental episode of Succession (2:50) and all the little pieces of brilliance that went into it&#8230; <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hulu&#8217;s NYT J Dilla documentary (13:55) which is reasonably interesting and relatively informative but feels like it leaves a lot on the table&#8230;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>HBO&#8217;s Music Box documentary about Jason Isbell (23:45) and how it paints a really complete emotional picture of a pretty interesting man and musician&#8230;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hulu&#8217;s Tiny Beautiful Things (30:35), the magnetism of Kathryn Hahn and how the series brings together a multi-generational story of moms and daughters&#8230;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Netflix&#8217;s Beef (34:40) and the intensity of watching people attempt to express their ultimately impotent rage&#8230;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This week&#8217;s episode of The Challenge: World Championship (39:35) and a significant elimination&#8230;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An apparently easily-judged episode of Top Chef (58:05) and the incredibly high level of talent remaining on this season&#8230;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A few thoughts on the NBA (1:10:15) as we head into the playoff season&#8230;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Homework for next week (1:24:45), including: the return of Barry on HBO, Netflix&#8217;s new World War II show Transatlantic and Cocaine Bear (now available on
