  • Who organized this series

    I am not sure if it was the producer Ms. Finch or not but this series is so confusing! What does omnibus mean and how are episodes arranged. On the show they are not only out of order but missing episodes? Once they are painstakingly ordered by the user they listen and find the content goes from prehistoric times one episode to the 1940’s the next. Also within the episodes for example episode 5 in series one it will say “episode 256?!?!?!” What the F?
