I thought there was already a thread for this show but couldn’t find it.

Anyway, a heads-up that the first 3 episodes of season 2 are out.

Took me a long time to get around to watching season 2. Loved this conversation in one episode:

Guy: I never got to California.

Emily: Oh, no.

Guy: Look, the Oregon Trail is not easy, okay? Every time we got to a river, we had to caulk the wagon and float it. Our pace was grueling, rations were meager, and if you hunted too much in a certain area, game became scarce.

Emily: Sounds rough.

Guy: Yeah. But weirdly, it was fun.

Emily: And what about your wife?

…

Guy: Unfortunately, she got dysentery.

Emily: That’s… That is awful. Did she die or is she…

Guy: No, no, no. No, no.

Emily: Oh, okay.

Guy: She’s fine, but it was pretty gross. Dysentery is kind of a lot.
