About this episode

The episode discusses the return of Darth Maul in the animated show Maul: Shadow Lord and reviews the first two episodes.

Everyone’s favorite Zabrak, and formerly thought-to-be-deceased Sith Lord, Darth Maul, is back with his very own animated show, Maul: Shadow Lord. The Disney+ Star Wars show has started with a bang! The first two episodes have dropped with intrigue, violence, and the same old Sam Witwer charm, and we couldn’t be more excited. Join Couch Soup contributors Thomas Richards and Iain McParland for Watching Now: Maul Shadow Lord, as they discuss the ups and downs of the show. How has the first season started? Do we actually know where this thing is set or the names of the new characters yet? And, does it feel awesome to have the former boss of the Shadow Collective back on our screens?
