Ohhh hells yes it's finally time for a new season of Serial! For those who don't know, Serial is a hit podcast (think online radio show) created by Sarah Koenig. The original season, cited as "an audio game-changer" in the Peabody awards, explored the 1999 murder of Hae Min Lee in Baltimore, Maryland. The story of Hae Min and Adnan Syed took the world by storm and the series has been downloaded over 68 million times.

The new season focuses on Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, a soldier who was captured and held by the Taliban for five years, and the first ep just dropped. Subscribe and listen here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/serial/id917918570?mt=2

I can't wait to see how this story goes! :)

Isn't this show about an unsolved murder?

Did they solve the murder?

Why the gently caress is Bergdahl a...didn't he come back alive?

loving NPR has gotten so loving gay. Like literally, today they were talking about how gay Syrians have it super tough in the refugee camps and how they have to become whores to survive.

Picked up a box of Frank recently and was not impressed. Very bland, almost no flavor for the cereal pieces. I wonder if theyve changed the formula in the previous many of years in response to GMOs and Glutens and Big Cereal

I wish. It's actually about stories that are a good fit for This American Life but have such need for details that they can't cover it in one episode.

How could Adnan have possibly called her if he wasn't busy disposing of a body?

I mean seriously, they start out with how unreliable memories of 15 years ago are, then they take Nisha's memory like it was a timestamped CCTV feed as if there's no way she could've confused whether something like someone she didn't know getting a job was before or after a landmark event when they were within a month of each other. I can't do that for most things that happened 2 or 3 years ago.

At first I didn't think he did, but then one time I was quite crunk and I came to the realization that he did.

edit: I also would have preferred another case more like the first one for the second season. I will listen because I need podcasts to survive the day, but I'm not all that hopeful.

Will it end in a steel cage death match between Syed and Bergdahl?

That seems like the best way to satisfy all parties involved.

it's a murder mystery that tells you everything in the first episode or 2, then spends the rest of the season spergin over minutia without saying anything new

No way he's DEFINITELY the first convicted murderer in the history of crime to claim he didn't do it. Also this Bergdahl dude seems like the biggest loving retard on earth, so of course the military welcomed him with open arms.

The thing that got me was that when they asked Adnan why that random friend would just make up all of this up, Adnan was just like meh, who knows, I'm sure he had his reasons, hard to say. Like he doesn't even seem mad. That dude is the only reason he's in jail and he just very casually dismisses it. I know it's been many years, but if someone frames you for murder, I don't think you forgive them. That's my hot take anyway.

i thought serial was pretty good and I was like "Well you can't expect them to actually prove anything or catch the guy."

and then I saw the Jinx and they fuckin caught the guy pretty much so my firm position is that serial sucks

adnan did it, too. and now everytime anybody googles Jay's name for a job they're gonna be like "Hmm this guy may have killed this girl even though somebody else did, I'd better not give him the job."
