That Championship Season: Legion, Season One

January 13, 2021 Dan Seeger

As Marvel took over the movies, their concurrent attempts to expand their universe into television largely floundered.

That Championship Season — Freaks and Geeks, Season One

May 13, 2020 Dan Seeger

That Championship Season — Jessica Jones, Season One

April 25, 2019April 25, 2019 Dan Seeger

That Championship Season — Firefly, Season One
