About

When a strange vision of murder sends him to a small town to investigate, Dr. Xander Crowe discovers that Wormwood is far from ordinary.  Secrets lurk within every resident, from the innkeeper to the town librarian to the waitress at the diner. The seemingly idyllic surface of Wormwood hides a mystery unlike anything Crowe has ever experienced — he finds himself drawn into a web of dark conspiracy, strange romance, and arcane mysticism. As Crowe begins to unravel the mystery at the heart of Wormwood, he finds that his very presence there may not be a coincidence at all…

    I loved wormwoods season 1 and 2 and couldnt listen to the five fingers of glory tales. i tried, wasnt interesting enough. sorry.

    so far portraits isnt nearly as good as the first two seasons, a lot of characters i dont care about popping up more… hopefully the last four wont leave hanging.

    No need to apologize, RJ. Five Fingers isn’t mandatory for the rest of the series, so it’s not a big deal if you didn’t like it. We just wanted to try something different.

    I suspect at least a few of the remaining Portraits will have characters you like.

    Our final 8 episodes, which form a mega-arc called “Revelation” will be much more in line with Seasons 1 & 2.
