Could barely get through the first episode. It was pretty lacklustre anti-climactic that amounted to mediocre copaganda.
I just discovered this podcast in 2026, sure wish there were 200 episodes to catch up on and new ones every week. Great job everyone!
… “you guessed it” — I couldn’t tolerate the obsessive spoonfeeding of easily intuited connections and consequences. Show rated “explicit”, yet seems written for children.
Amazing stories and I could imagine the whole scenes in my head because of how good the narrators are.
I hope they come back with a second season! As someone who works in criminal law, the old adage that the truth is stranger than fiction is very, very true, and humans do very strange things sometimes. This show really illustrates that so well, and never loses sight of the humanity of the people involved, no matter how bonkers the situation may get.
