- Predictable
There was zero suspense in this pod - it was predictable within the first five minutes of every episode. I liked the first two episodes about the people who tested, but it was heartbreaking hearing their stories. There’s a special place waiting for Dr. Harvey when his DNA is just dust.

This story is great but Jorge’s intonation is so hard to listen to. He’s clearly reading and it sounds so awkward.
