Lanterns Episode 1 Explained | Did They Really Kill [REDACTED]

from In-Between Media

HBO's Green Lantern show just did something we did not see coming in episode one. Damon Lindelof's Lanterns opens as a grounded, small-town mystery with Kyle Chandler and Aaron Pierre, and then closes with a twist that has the whole internet asking the same question. We're breaking it all down. We're covering the three timelines the premiere jumps between, how the relationship between our two leads gets set up in 2016, and exactly what happens in that final present-day scene that flips the whole show on its head. We're also getting into the missing ring, what it might mean going forward, and the early theories on who's actually responsible for what we just saw. Full spoilers ahead, so if you haven't watched yet, hit pause and come back after. If you have, let us know your theories in the comments. We've got some ideas of our own about where this mystery is headed. 🔔 New Lanterns breakdown every week. Subscribe so you don't miss one. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
