For episode two of Bingeworthy™, I’m joined by Kevin Jagernauth, Managing Editor here at The Playlist. We chat about two shows at the opposite ends of the TV spectrum: HBO‘s sci-fi hit “Westworld” and SundanceTV‘s small but revered drama “Rectify.” One of these shows is one of the most talked-about on television and boasts a huge budget, a cast of big names and impressive special effects, while the other struggles to get viewers for its soulful story that doesn’t feature marquee stars. We’ll let you guess which is which.

Our “Westworld” discussion is full of spoilers (you’ve been warned), given that it’s widely watched, combined with the challenge of discussing the show without revealing plot points. However, we don’t give too much away about “Rectify” in our attempts to grow the show’s audience to the larger numbers it deserves. Please note: We recorded this podcast before the big reveal in this week’s “Trompe L’Oeil” episode of “Westworld.”
