The Gray House (PILOT)

Amazon Prime Video’s The Gray House is an American historical miniseries with a huge cast and a pilot that drops us into Richmond on July 4th, 1860. While jumping around several POVs throughout the ~hour-and-20-minute premiere, we start to see how the Van Lew family carefully sidesteps the most controversial politics in public while risking everything behind the scenes.

From alligators to fireworks to horse-jousting duels, there’s a lot to cover in our discussion. Colin Morgan is unrecognizable, and Mary-Louise Parker is once again protecting Mary Jane — just not in the same sense you probably think. Tune in to hear our favorite and least favorite moments.
