- Season 2 disappointment ( spoiler alert)
Season 2: Everything started so interesting… the idea was to uncover who was behind all this… and then 🤔 oh we would never do that because it’s against the purpose of the puzzle itself 😂😂 you could have just told the story, without all the “ web detectives” part. I kind of felt fooled at the end. Just say that you didn’t find anything, it’s totally fine. That “ we have to do the right thing because we understand now” really blew the whole thing off.

Irelanda year ago - Sound quality is inconsistent
Really hard to hear some of the interviews and I was constantly toggling the volume. Otherwise interesting content.

United Statesa year ago - Great season 1, underwhelming season 2
I thoroughly enjoyed season 1 - well paced, good story arc and interesting investigation.
Season 2 was underwhelming - it felt like they got 5 episodes in, realised they were never going to do what they set out to do, and had to settle on a roundabout wishy-washy conclusion which is thought-provoking but a let down for the listener.

United Kingdoma year ago Loved the story on the Interruption, great research and very well presented and produced. Can't wait to listen to season 2!
Podcast Addict5a year agoMsFairyViolet- Badly edited and boring
I’m all for a good mystery - even an unsolved one. But there was so much redundant and duplicative content here, I actually checked multiple times to see whether I’d inadvertently skipped backwards. This was disorienting at first, but as I caught on to how often the show was repeating itself, it became straight up irritating. Especially given that the show wasn’t going to give us any answers, they at least could have offered us good storytelling.
