This week, Down to Watch is all about fate and fandom! Dan and Raul grabbed a couple shows off the April upcomings heap that might be instant classics and are back with their thoughts. First off, The Big Door Prize has a small town flipped upside down when a futuristic machine\xa0that appeared out of nowhere starts handing out cards with everyone's potential written on it. This slightly sci-fi beat seems to be just a catalyst for a feel-good story about\xa0achieving untapped dreams, and how striving might affect the world around the characters of this surreal-ish\xa0world. Quite in contrast, the dreamlike sequences new series Swarm are usually harbingers of tragedy or violence as the buzzing of the bees in one superfan's head lead to a string of murders in what the series assures us is a true story. The death of her best friend leads a socially unmoored and mentally disturbed lead character to portray a tale of misguided vengeance in a toxic world. Does the talent on display in these new shows raise them to grand prize status, or was all the buzz just hype? That's what this podcast is for!
