‘The Pitt’ S2E14, ‘The Boys’ S5, and ‘Your Friends and Neighbors’ S2. Plus, ‘The Punisher: One Last Kill’ Trailer and ‘Top Chef’ S23E5.

In this episode of The Watch, hosts Chris Ryan and Andy Greenwald dive into a wide array of current TV and pop culture topics, beginning with a lively discussion about the upcoming season three premiere of Euphoria, which they both watched cold and found liberating. They explore casting rumors for the Superman character Maxima, with skepticism about the authenticity of the reported audition list and amusement at the idea of an open relationship between Lois Lane and Superman. The conversation shifts to the new Punisher: One Last Kill trailer, with Andy expressing cautious optimism about Jon Bernthal’s auteur-driven vision, despite concerns about his acting being pigeonholed into vigilante roles. The hosts then dissect the latest episodes of The Boys and Your Friends and Neighbors, with Andy offering a nuanced critique of The Boys’ final season—praising its boldness but questioning its emotional payoff—while calling Your Friends and Neighbors a stylish but hollow 'nightlight' show that refuses to evolve. The centerpiece is a deep dive into The Pitt’s penultimate episode, where they praise the emotional depth of the Duke-Robbie scene and the character reveal of Al Hashimi, while critiquing dated pop culture references and overly staged moments. They also reflect on Top Chef’s latest episode, lamenting Rhoda’s sudden fall from frontrunner to elimination, and deliver a hilarious, extended takedown of water parks, culminating in a surreal monologue about the existential thrill of riding a water slide. The episode closes with a promise of a Sunday night Euphoria discussion and a final, self-aware jab at the show’s own self-indulgence.
