- Fair
It’s so so, but it could really be sped up into less episodes

United States4 months ago - Title is misleading
The dogs have very little to do with the story and there isn’t a bodyguard. This could have been a single episode.
Apple Podcasts2Useme7632United States5 months ago - Don’t waste your time
You have to pay to hear the whole podcast! Annoying
Apple Podcasts1SksnsisbskndUnited States5 months ago - Painfully repetitive
This honestly could have been covered in one 35-45 minute episode. It’s soooo drawn out and they repeat the subject trailer synopsis at both the beginning and the end of each episode. Come on CBS do better
