Another great addition to his work. If you're looking for a title that sparks some uncomfortable but feasible reflections about humanity, this is on point.

A bit slow but that's accounting for my personal taste. Leaving that aside, great listen 👍

Story
For the ancients, everything worth pursuing in life flowed from a strong sense of justice—or one’s commitment to doing the right thing, no matter how difficult. In order to be courageous, wise, and self-disciplined, one must begin with justice. The influence of the modern world often tells us that acting justly is optional. Holiday argues that that’s simply untrue—and the fact that so few people today have the strength to stand by their convictions explains much about why we’re so unhappy.

Much needed reminders for the task of applying the calm and mild light of philosophy.
Keep up the good work Ryan, can't wait for the complete series.

Loved it

However, I often find it difficult when a single speaker is put to the task of giving life to a wide array of characters. Not bad at all, but at times it felt a bit goofy.
But maybe it’s just me.
Loved the story, the pacing and the ending.

Skeptic at first, was expecting Eisenberg to just play Eisenberg but after finishing it, I can certainly say I was merely underestimating the man. Wolfhard and Dever feel just right.
Might give it a couple more listens, good storytelling.
