Awful and Awesome Ep 387: The Royals, Flintoff, subscriber letters

While discussing The Royals

Abhinandan: You’re saying Bhumi Pednekar is good in this? Is she the redeeming factor?

Rajyasree: No, she's horrible in this…But it has worked in her favour because everyone has logged on and watched the show. 

Abhinandan: Why?

Rajyasree: Because it’s so bad. Everyone trashed it so everyone logged on and watched it.  

This and a whole lot of awful and awesome as Abhinandan Sekhri and Rajyasree Sen discuss the series The Royals, the documentary Flintoff, and multiple subscriber letters. Abhinandan also recommends his new favourite Punjabi song.
