All “Bad” things must come to an end. Join James, Kat, and David for the epic conclusion of the Walter White saga. As we explore the iconic series finale(s), we also dig up a barrel full of biblical themes - walking in darkness, gaining the world by losing your soul, repentance, and the nature of justice. We even draw comparisons between Ebenezer Scrooge and Walt, who is the real cancer of the series. We think you’ll be satisfied with the quality of our product, and hope you have an A1 day.
