the answer is "the last episode of Season 1 of Camlann", which we can sum up as "I'd get a lot more out of this show if I knew more about Arthuriana and Welsh mythology. The background music's really nice, though." As proof of the first statement, I knew about the death of Arthur, but it's only just now that I looked it up and realized what the title is referencing. Also, while there are probably at least a dozen men named Arthur running around the British Isles at any given time, even in the post-apocalypse, the one they've got is a rich asshole, so fuck him, he can die.

The show takes place in the aftermath of an apocalypse I think nobody had on their bingo card, where all the stories come back. Your best chance of surviving is having a name marking you as a protagonist or essential secondary character, and since these stories are all region-locked it won't do you much good to be a Hector in Wales or an Arthur in Ithaca. This even applies to the dogs, it seems, so it's a good thing their furry friend was named Gelert (something I had already looked up a long time ago because of Neopets.)

The season ends on a conflictedly hopeful note, and yes, there are transcripts.
