The Biggest Takeaways From The Case Against Adnan Syed Episode 5

As a critic, I have to say the latest installment of *The Case Against Adnan Syed* is a gripping watch. While the first four episodes revisited Adnan Syed’s fight to overturn his conviction – and finally gave Hae Min Lee’s story the depth it deserved – this new episode, “Part Five: The Tree Grew,” details the incredibly complex journey that ultimately led to his release. It’s fascinating to see how Syed’s case became entangled with the national conversation around racial justice in 2020. A new district attorney in Baltimore, focused on correcting wrongful convictions, took a fresh look at the evidence. Though her time in office was brief, her team uncovered previously unexamined DNA and identified two new people who could have been involved in Hae Min Lee’s murder. It’s a compelling look at a case that continues to evolve.

Silksong Is Harder Than Hollow Knight, And it’s Hornet’s Fault

I was reading Dexerto and found out something really interesting! Team Cherry’s Ari Gibson and William Pellen were at the ACMI Game Worlds exhibit in Melbourne and chatted with the exhibit’s co-curator, Jini Maxwell, for a new book. Apparently, in this book – the ACMI Guide to Hollow Knight: Silksong – they explain *why* Silksong is going to be more challenging than the first Hollow Knight. And get this – it’s all down to Hornet! She’s the reason the game is harder, according to them.
