The Crowded Room
The Crowded Room Season 1 has been a wild ride full of ups and downs as we dived into the mind of Danny Sullivan. It was easy to forget that Danny stood accused of multiple counts of attempted murder.

Unfortunately, a naked, confused, yet familiar visitor disrupts all his established routines and requires him and Crowley to reunite and combine their abilities to solve a mystery, certify a love story, and save the world yet again.
