After identifying and locating Sam, we recorded a pre-interview with them, asked them to watch all of season one, and then interrogated them for a full hour on their thoughts, opinions, and specific feedback moving into season two (as though we were literally writing season two. lol. erica and carter need to go outside). Join us!!
