Episode 226: TV WEEK – Cloak & Dagger

Episode 226!

For this TV week, we reviewed Cloak & Dagger – a Freeform original series, also available on Hulu. Our hosts watched at least the first 3 episodes of this as homework so we could discuss it in more detail!

Synopsis: Tandy Bowen and Tyrone Johnson come from starkly different backgrounds, each growing up with a secret they never dared share with another soul. Tandy Bowen watched as her family was destroyed by a disastrous storm that uprooted her life, and when everything he held close was taken away, life taught Tyrone to be afraid.

Created by: Joe Pokaski

Based on: Cloak and Dagger by Bill Mantlo and Ed Hannigan

Starring: Olivia Holt, Aubrey Joseph, Gloria Reuben, Andrea Roth, J. D. Evermore, Miles Mussenden, Carl Lundstedt, Emma Lahana, Jaime Zevallos
