Hello and welcome to The Recapables, a podcast on the Ringer Podcast Network.

Both staff writers at the Ringer.

The Recapables is a podcast where we talk about your favorite TV shows right after you've watched them.

best music cues. But before we do that, we thought that we would talk a little bit more

generally about season one. Yeah, man, I need Malcolm. You two, Martin. You know what they did to him

seen the body since the funeral. That's how funerals work.

Alfred, you are already, Malcolm, okay?

Somebody who's about the money, the opportunity, who can play both sides if needed.

I gave you guys each a question, which is, how would you describe what happened in season one?

He is an aspiring rapper.
