Join Jim and A.Ron as we break down the action and principle characters as the embark on their Season One marathon.…
It was the best of seasons (Internment), it was the worst of seasons (Dead Weight), but while it ended on a very bleak note for our survivors, it nevertheless was a positive and hopeful way to end things from a storytelling and general quality standpoint.
