This whole thing is about a tiny little town in between Tuscaloosa and Birmingham.

Hasn't really gone the way I thought it would. I'm halfway through Chapter 6.

Yeah. I didn't research anything and if you don't you get a bomb dropped early on and it completely changes the direction I thought they were going in with the show.

Yeah I didn't either. It's not for the easily triggered.

But I can't say I'm super suprised either.

What is it about? Loved 1st season of serial but the second one was pure crap.

An eccentric Alabama clock repair man living in a civil war era house with a crazy hedge maze calls about a possible murder cover up in his small town which he calls shittown.

Episode 2 throws a curveball.

Thanks for giving a head's up about this.

This is right up my alley and I haven't read anything about this so I'm powering through this before it ends up all over the local media.

I'm at the part in Episode 2 where Bubba is papering the world with the N-word and Brian (the reporter) talking about covering up his social media so the locals don't know he has a black wife and he has jewish ancestry.

I subscribe to Serial, so I got a teaser-promo downloaded, and it sounded interesting. Guess I'll give it a try.

And just when I was catching up on my podcasts backlog.

I'm about through Chapter I. Still not sure what I think, but it has my interest.

I just texted my friend about this show. This guy is a redneck savant." He has to have genius level intelligence with that expansive of vocabulary, generalknowledge , and the ability to present his stream of consciousness like he's rehearsing a monologue from a play

I just finished episode 3 and I just want to say I'd love to have a hype man like Uncle Jimmy.
