  • Syndicated - Bloodline

    We're not bad people, but we made a bad podcast.  Just kidding, this episode is great! Light on hosts, but heavy on great discussion; Andy and Luke sit down and talk about the bitter pill that is Bloodline.  

    This Netflix exclusive was so divisive, one of our hosts outright refused to finish it!  Why the controversy?  You'll need to tune into this gritty family drama to find out. 

    After you're done listening to the episode, why not send us an email at [email protected] or maybe tweet at us @SyndicatedPod?  We'd love to hear from you!
