The plagues continue with swarms of monstrous bugs, things that go bump in the night, and straight up murder. Moses stars in ten seconds of an awesome action movie before it’s back to the now-familiar pattern of death, destruction, and Pharaoh’s clogged arteries. The Hebrews finally get to leave Egypt, much to the delight of the tiny number of surviving Egyptians, and they take all the booty they can find on their way out. We wrap up by spending more time with a character so irredeemably evil and bloodthirsty that he makes Sauron look like an amateur: no, it’s not Pharaoh, it’s God! At least he has a delicious recipe for lamb served with flatbread and some tips for decorating your house to have the best Halloween ever. (Exodus 10:1-13:16)

After God fails to boost workplace morale, he attempts to use Moses to free the Hebrews from slavery while giving Pharaoh a case of heart disease. Seven disgusting plagues and one classic arcade game later, Pharaoh’s arteries are hard as rocks, but the Hebrews are still enslaved. But forget about God’s rookie negotiating mistakes – you’ve never before seen such beautiful shots of dead fish, dead frogs, and dead cattle in a TV show! (Exodus 6:2-9:35)

We open Season 2 with a Pharaoh who takes a Thanos-like approach to solving overpopulation by killing all of the male Hebrew babies. One lucky tot rides the rapids in a mini-ark instead and is adopted by the princess, who names him Moses. Moses steps away from his privileged upbringing to embrace a more Batman lifestyle, and then has to get the hell out of Dodge before the authorities arrest him for murder. He settles down in Midian for a quiet life until God video chats him via Burning Bush to recruit him for his buddy cop movie. After a lot of pushback, Moses finally agrees to go on tour with God’s magic tricks, prompting Pharaoh to double down on the oppression. Tune in next week to see if God will make good on his Rube-Goldberg-like plan to free the Hebrews! (Exodus 1:1-6:1)
