As we all know very, very, very very very very well, today marked the final episode of Serial. And kudos to Sarah Koenig & co. for actually churning out a legitimate, relatively satisfying conclusion under the unanticipated pressure of millions fixing for answers.
Too many so many words have been written about this podcast, and in honor of our peers in the media who have painstakingly parsed each and every syllable that passed from the lips of our beloved SK, Jezebel has put a little somethin’ together—all of the dumb crises, knee-jerk reactions, and embarrassing emotional spirals incited by Serial that, until today, lived safely inside the otherwise intelligent heads of myself and my brand new coworkers. This is a huge mistake!
On Murder:
“Is everybody I know a secret murderer?”
“It’s not really that hard to murder someone.”
“How many serial killers are just bopping around out there, waiting to do murders?”
On Heartthrobs:
“How hot is Adnan RN? Can I see an up-to-date picture of Adnan?”
“I would have given Adnan a chance because he reminds me of Jon B.”
