What should you watch this weekend? It might not be the eternal question, but it is an old one.
There are too many choices on streaming and faced with them, it’s easy to fall into a comfort watch. But even the most comfortable things can wear thin after a while.

Anthony does his best to navigate a company offisite event at the family-owned hot sauce company he just joined.
