THIS SERIES IS PRETTY GOOD

This series is pretty interesting, it's like binge watching Netflix, each episode brings you to new destination and give more insight to the characters and what drives them. I found this podcast randomly and I am hooked. In my mind's eye I have identified from various movies/tv shows I have seen over the years. Asanti could be played by Kimberly Elise from Beloved. Grace could be played by May from Agent of Shields. Liam could be played by Clayton from Bitten, Father Menchú could be played by Jeffery Dean from the Walking Dead, Sal could be played by Scarlett Johansson from the Black Widow. Love this, keep it coming.
