Darkness in the Valley

On this episode, we’re diving headfirst into the darkness that is this season of The Valley. Since we both had babies around the same time as Nia and Kristen, this became one of our most personal and vulnerable conversations yet as we open up about our own postpartum experiences and the ways they mirror what’s playing out on screen.

We also have plenty of postpartum rage reserved for Luke and Danny, whose failures as partners left us fired up all episode long. And beyond the cast drama, we’re breaking down the bigger question hanging over the season: why has this show stopped being fun to watch? Is it too dark, too toxic, too real — and can the season still be salvaged?
