Season 2: Episode 17 - Don't Screw the Messenger! King Lear Act 2

Best. Fucking. Insult. Speech. Ever!!!

A little background on messengers and what their responsibilities were - not what you think. Oswald represents Goneril and Kent represents Lear, and never the twain shall meet. Well, they meet, but it does NOT go well.

Then we have a discussion about the treatment of the insane back in the day. Also not ideal.
