Monday Apr 17, 2023
Monday Apr 17, 2023
We made it! It's the final episode in our First Law series, and we've got some thoughts. Craig, Ryan, and Kenn sit down to hash out how they feel about the series now that they've completed it. Did Kenn love the punchin'? (Just kidding, stupid question.) Did Craig change his mind at all? Does Ryan hate all good and decent things now, loving only evil and despair? Only one way to find out!
