'Serial' Subject Adnan Syed Granted Appeal By Maryland Court Of Special Appeals
Bergdahl went missing from his home base in Afghanistan back in 2009 and was eventually captured by Taliban forces. This is the subject of the new season of Serial, the podcast hosted by Sarah Koenig that took the world by storm last year. The first episode of season 2 was released today, with the following episode description:
"In the middle of the night, Pfc. Bowe Bergdahl grabs a notebook, snacks, water, some cash. Then he quietly slips off a remote U.S. Army outpost in eastern Afghanistan and into the dark, open desert. About 20 minutes later, it occurs to him: he's in over his head."
Serial fans all over the world are listening to the first episode, hoping to get hooked on another big case. Some of the reactions are negative in nature, as seen by the following tweets:
It will never live up to the sensation that was Season 1. #Serial

I have marginal interest in this case, but there were a couple of things that intrigued me. Don't know if enough for 13 weeks tho. #Serial — Erick Walter (@erichnorse) December 10, 2015
Like a lot of supposedly polarizing things, the truth is that Serial - excuse me, #Serial - is just okay.

Not really that impressed or captivated by the new season of #Serial -- I don't care about some drama in a platoon. — Nate Gorby (@nategorby) December 10, 2015
Meanwhile, most are excited to get back into the world of trying to solve the case alongside Koenig.
