As a suspicious Carol uncovers there may be something more sinister behind the peaceful appearance of the Joined, she tries to make contact with the other immune individuals, with mixed results.<\/p>\n

The series premiered in early November on Apple TV and is set to airs its season finale on 26 December.<\/p>\n
