To celebrate our milestone of reaching 100 episodes, we've dedicated our 101st to discuss high fantasy TV series that critics & reviewers have dubbed as contenders for "The Next 'Game of Thrones.'" "GoT" ended 2 years ago in 2019 & with HBO's prequel series "House of the Dragon" releasing in 2022, we thought this would be the perfect time for this topic!
The four high fantasy TV series we discuss: "The Witcher" (out on Netflix), "The Wheel of Time,, "Lord of the Rings," and "The Chronicles of Narnia"

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
