Fire Country

Well, for me, I, there's some TV shows that I, that are broadcast TV shows that I've not finished.

One of those is Fire Country, and the other one is NCIS Sydney, and we're just kind of powering through those because the new season is, like, literally starting now, and baseball gets in the way in the summer.

A lot of times I watch a lot of baseball, and the other thing is my children, they're adults, so they'll be out doing things with their friends during the week, and some evenings I'm not allowed [laughs] ...

I kind of laugh at this when I say I'm not allowed to watch some of these shows because they like to watch it together, and I love that about my family, but sometimes it puts a lot of restrictions on what and when I could watch shows.

And it's funny, because I'm, like, sitting there, and I'm like, I know this woman.

And then it turns out that she plays the mother of one of the characters from Fire Country, which is a soapy-ass good time.

Love Fire Country.

Not great, but also I love it.

So she's like, I'm flicking.

I'm like, I know this woman.

I know this woman.

And then, yeah, I was like... that's right and i even like and i was proud of myself i was like i nailed it before i looked it up i was like i think this is the woman from fire country i looked it up i'm like oh it's her she i mean it's like she's especially when this we get more into it and you see just how crazy she is but like i

Interesting, I guess.

Fire Country Season 5 at 9 p.m. and Bossom Blue Season 2 at 10 p.m. Sheriff Country and Fire Country takes place in the small fictional town in Northern California called Edgewood.

And I'm telling you, this small town has so much crime and so much fire.

It's just amazing.

I know him reasonably well at this point.

But he not only does Outer Banks, he also does Fire Country and Sheriff Country and a number of other things as well.

There's a really fun interview that I did with him.

That is available on your feed so you can get that there.

Yeah, one of their last original... yeah one of the last original things both seasons of Murder in a Small Town which stars Smallville Kirsten Crook that is on Netflix UK apparently there's two seasons of that so both seasons of Murder in a Small Town that's a Fox show in the US but if you fancy catching that and you like her that is over there suits la which of course only lasted for one season which starred stephen and mel and josh mcdermott that is actually now streaming on channel four so you can go and check that out over there sheriff country which has its first season second season is actually coming next month in the u.s but first season of that is now streaming on paramount plus the first five episodes are on there i think they're then releasing it weekly but but they've dropped the first five episodes together.

So you can go and catch Sheriff Country on there.

That's a spinoff from Fire Country, which of course is on Sky.

Season two premieres in the US on the 9th of October.

Ooh.

So the missus said, um, "Let's watch this new one." Uh, well, it's been out for a while, but it's called Fire Country, and, um-

I've seen that.

Have you?

I will.

So, um-

I'll be, I'll be sitting there while I'm watching Fire Country-

Yeah, look, the-

It's been about Five years since our last conversation, so there was plenty to talk about.

We look back at how Phil's life and career has changed since those early interviews, talk about bringing Outer Banks home for its fifth and final season, and explore how he created two connected but distinct musical identities for Fire Country and its spinoff Sheriff Country.

We also venture into the world of Momo and Phil's collaboration with Sam Ryder, discuss how he justifies buying increasingly peculiar instruments, briefly visit his days touring with Robbie Williams, and get into a rather passionate conversation about AI creativity and why the human part of making art still matters.

Before we get into it, remember you can find all the latest TV news, reviews and UK premiere dates at geektown.co.uk. You can also find more interviews on Geek Town Talks To and our weekly entertainment news podcast Geek Town Radio, which returns next week for episode 501.

I'm moving away from the Outer Banks.

You have been working on a couple of other actually network TV shows.

Fire Country, which has popped up in the last five years and Sheriff Country as well.

Yeah.

A live action series adaptation of The Kane Chronicles is currently in development over at Disney+, um, so very cool there for those of you into those books.

The new seasons of the hit CBS Friday night lineup Fire Country season five and Sheriff Country season two will collide for a one night only as a part of a two-hour special crossover event.

The episode will be the fifth for each show, titled Impossible Choices, and will air on November 6th.
