Cookie cutter houses are not on the travel itinerary for Jack McBrayer, who hosts Zillow Gone Wild. The HGTV series, returning July 18, sees the 30 Rock star venture throughout the country to visit some of the most extraordinary unique properties. He’ll tour these spots with the homeowners, who often have as much character as the places themselves. The show going into its second season was inspired by the Instagram account of the same name. Each episode brings three contenders judged on originality, commitment and wild factor with winners presented with a coveted plaque. McBrayer racks up those frequent flyer miles going from an entire old western town purchased by an adventurous family in Colorado to a real-life Lego castle in Orlando, Florida. The premiere features the 1940s Shoe Inn in York, Pennsylvania, a completely sustainable house in Ridgefield, Connecticut, and the gothic manor of the Bat Out of Hell composer Jim Steinman.

The following contains spoilers from Dope Thief Episode 3, "Run, Die or Relapse," now streaming on Apple TV+.

Dope Thief Episode 3, “Run, Die, or Relapse” digs a bit deeper, making connections between characters in the Apple TV+ show and their choices. Ray and Manny tie all these elements together, while dealing with the fallout from another bright idea. After ransacking an isolated methamphetamine farm, both men find themselves in hot water with bikers after their blood. This forces them to think on what their actions might mean for the families they love.

Series creator and Gladiator II writer Peter Craig clearly likes to take his time telling stories. Dope Thief is in no hurry to get where it wants to go -- but viewers are unlikely to notice, because the performances are equally relaxed. The Philadelphia suburbs are an intriguing backdrop, while the ensemble cast make the show's world feel lived-in.

Dope Thief has premiered with the first two episodes on Apple TV+. After leaving us on a cliffhanger in the pilot "Jolly Ranchers," with Ray and Manny cooped up in a hotel, knowing that their recent robbery victim may only be a few steps behind them, Dope Thief was all too keen to deliver on its promise of high-octane serial drama. If you're looking for a recap of episode 2, look no further! Spoilers Below.

The second episode, "Bat Out of Hell," opens with a shot of Manny and Ray watching their van burn in a ditch. After taking the night to recoup and strategize, they burn the van and throw the license plates and the murder weapon, Ray's pistol, into a nearby river. We see in a flashback that this is the same river that they would stand over as kids, the show cuts between shots of them as teenagers...
