ABOUT THIS EPISODE
We're "Nothing Short of Thankful" that we got a chance to see this show during its short run, and we come bearing thoughts on how well it turned out!
As usual, spoilers ahead!

The overall show is primarily based on the Mignonette album by the Avett Brothers (though it brings in quite a few songs from other albums as well). You can also read more here about the event that it was based on.
Remember when Armie Hammer was thought to be a cannibal? Crazy times.
This Rolling Stones article does a great job of explaning the story behind how Swept Away came to be, from conception to its ultimate closing.
If you enjoyed Adrian Blake Enscoe as Little Brother, check out his band Bandits on the Run, who are also currently adapting What's Eating Gilbert Grape into a musical.
