The Season 2 Finale in Review, Part 1
Return to Gilead
05/11/22 • 21 min
We’ve reached the finale of Season 2! This podcast starts the first of three parts of a discussion of three episodes of Down Gilead Lane – episode 23 (2-10): “The List,” episode 24 (2-11): “Theories,” and episode 25 (2-12): “Connections.” To start off this long review, Michael and Ryan highlight some of the better moments from the episodes, such as the tasteful introduction of the Richter parents, how Michael Morrison’s competitive spirit makes an excellent theme, and the meaning of Jesus’ parables on finding the lost. Also, a lot of version differences!

Return to Gilead
04/15/22 • 24 min
The discussion takes a sudden turn to a deep debate in the second part of Michael and Ryan’s review of the Down Gilead Lane Season 1 finale, all hinging on a few tough questions: Why is Grace hiding the truth? Is she covering for a wrongdoing? And could we have avoided the whole opening saga of Gilead if she had revealed what happened?
