EW's Best of Shows podcast: The Umbrella Academy, Doom Patrol, and network TV pilots

This week on Best of Shows, Kristen Baldwin listens patiently while I struggle to explain the comic book history of Netflix's The Umbrella Academy and DC Universe's Doom Patrol, two wacky-mature offbrand superhero dramedies that debuted simultaneously over the weekend. We also take a look at Pop TV's Flack, starring Anna Paquin as a highly effective publicist with a messy personal life.

All of which is mere prelude to a highly competitive battle of wits. With a little help from our colleague James Hibberd's rundown of every network pilot currently in development, I test Kristen's TV knowledge with a network TV pilot variation of Two Truths and a Lie. We close out the week by catching up on TruTV's I'm Sorry, a Curb Your Enthusiasm-esque series our beloved editor Patrick Gomez can't stop talking about.
