Description
Time to watch TV from a different angle: get your recommendations and examinations for television from thinkers who ensure zero spoilers until a vote has been cast on if the series or movie is worth taking down from the cluttered, streaming shelf. Then stick around for the analysis which unpacks episodes of TV or movies from the Southern thinkers out to destroy Alabama stereotypes. Every Tuesday morning, editor-in-chief of The Alabama Take Blaine Duncan is joined by Adam Morrow, Donovan Reinwald, and others to discuss, dissect, and dive into TV and streaming. You deserve your time, so let Taking It Down decide for you.
