High Low Brow

Send us a text

What do you get when you combine a chaotic comedy series, a messy queer reality TV show, and an attempt at making our first YouTube video? You get this week's episode of High Low Brow! We're back to give you our unique high-brow takes on some of the most entertaining low-brow television out right now. We've had plenty of time to catch up on TV between our misadventures in a mansion-turned-cottage and a nasty bout of sickness, so buckle up for a wild ride through our new favorite guilty pleasures and hopefully yours.
First up, we discuss the hilarious chaos of Jury Duty, a comedy series following Ronald, the only real juror, as he navigates a three-week-long trial with a cast of bizarre characters. Then we dive into The Ultimatum: Queer Love and compare it to its straight counterpart.
As always, we appreciate your support and love to hear your thoughts on these shows. Don't forget to rate this episode after you've listened or tell your friends about High Low Brow and stay tuned for more unhinged conversations! In two weeks, we'll tackle the ever-present issue of fandom fatigue with Klaudia Amenába, critic, podcaster & writer. See you then!
