Limetown: Rake
October 29, 2019 10:19 AM - Season 1, Episode 3 - Subscribe
Lia and Mark visit Rake, Wyoming in search of the next Limetown survivor, but they're not prepared for the horrors they find.
I mean, yeah it's how we get to the Reverend, but it's not a very fruitful detour.

Another thing I don't like is how the way the survivors' stories are dramatized seems to swat away the possibility of unreliable narrators.

This has a decent Metacritic score.
Am I alone in hating this?

I'll get back to you tomorrow on that :)
What's the release schedule for this show? Is there one?

Answering my own question: Two new episodes of Limetown are scheduled to drop every Wednesday on Facebook Watch. Both Episodes 5 and 6 of Limetown will premiere Wednesday, October 30 on Facebook.

Yep. Each week there are "two" episodes that are pretty clearly an hour-ish episode chopped awkwardly in half.

What the hell was that? Maybe because they have 10 episodes to shoot, compared to the 6 (main) episodes in the first season of the podcast, they wanted to expand the story with more complex human stories?
I want to tie themes of life, death, and breath together, but I'm stretching to make sense of some scenes in this episode. I understand listening to someone else's breath as white noise, but then masturbating seemed like they're continuing to make Lia more sexual (beyond the lingering shots on her ass in this episode, and the addition of her love interest).
In short, this take on the story is making me grumpy. I'm sticking it out because it's not awful, but I'm damning this with some pretty faint praise.
