Is this what heroes do? Arrest their mothers on Christmas? This week TK digs into the big ideas of episode 6 of Hawkeye, "So This Is Christmas?"

I share some brief thoughts on how the finale successfully put a bow (ha!) on the thematic threads of the series and talk about my favorite character moments from the episode. 

I'm also interrupted by a very special surprise guest, so keep your ears open for that!

Stay tuned for a full Hawkeye series (season?) retrospective in which I promise to remember to talk about the Rolex.
