Summary
In this episode, Patrick and David discuss the finale of Skeleton Crew and revisit the season 1 finale of Severance.
Skeleton Crew was a fun show. But was it anything more? How did we feel about the show’s handling of Jod’s arc? Or the kids’ arcs? Now that you mention it: Did any of these characters even have arcs? Also, we revisit Severance’s season 1 finale. Is it still one of the greatest episodes of television ever made? Listen to hear us discuss all these questions and more!
