United Kingdoma month ago - Thought this was the official podcast and wondered why it was so bad
I thought this was the official podcast for the show and listened confused as to why something commissioned by Hulu could be so bad, with such woeful takes lack of understanding and mind bumbling boring hosts. Then I found out it’s not. If you want to be bored to death listen to this. Living in Gilead might be more fun.
Apple Podcasts2Amybops83United Kingdom2 months ago - Great Deep Dive

Apple Podcasts5RachelBbbxUnited Kingdom2 months ago - Great pod
Shout out for this great podcast. Looking forward to going through this ride with 3 brilliant hosts!
Apple Podcasts5YC from UKUnited Kingdom2 months ago - Misinformed
If you’re going to add politics to your commentary of a tv show then at least inform yourselves before speaking publicly. Gilead is clearly a metaphor for modern day Islamic republic of Iran. To say that the USA is bombing them for no reason shows that you don’t understand the basics of what you are reviewing. Do better. You are causing harm.
