Instead of involving law enforcement agents, Ava and Nathan found a way to make the criminal a part of their podcast on actual crime, which later resulted in dramatic episodes that were life-threatening.
Nathan and Ava’s true crime project fell apart in the season finale after public outcry, as the West Side Ripper assumed control of the narrative. More chaos and suspense lie ahead as they sink deeper into trouble; all these shall be revealed in season 2.
