Before (S01E01-02)

Before is a new Apple TV+ series starring Billy Crystal as Eli, a grieving child psychologist haunted by both his past and some truly unsettling clients. The story kicks off with Eli taking on a new patient named Noah, a young boy whose strange behaviors, hallucinations, and ominous statements start to disturb Eli’s already fragile state. The first two episodes, The Imposter and The Scientist, introduce eerie themes reminiscent of The Sixth Sense. In this podcast we run through the plot, thoughts on the show’s pacing, horror tropes, and whether this eerie psychological drama will keep us coming back. Welcome to Today’s Episode!
