- Really wanted to listen…
I loved the first season. I had my own complicated experience w a C section. I was really invested but the screenwriting narration is completely off putting. I can’t finish the first episode. I seriously thought NYT did this as a video show and AI was blindly reading off the script notes from a movie.

United States13 days ago - S1 Retrievals: five stars. S2: mostly well told except for a prominent, annoying stylistic choice.
I loved Season 1 of The Retrievals. Season 2’s story is illuminating and emotional, but the medical drama screenwriting device (bad screenwriting at that) made me question whether I wanted to continue the season. It’s not just that it’s annoying and feels self-satisfyingly clever and quirky (instead of narratively bold), the main issue is that it detracts and distances listeners from an important, impactful story that needs no frills. I cringed hard the first time script description came up and ... more

Wowwwweeeee this is a story that needed to be told.
Apple Podcasts5J*La2020United Statesa month ago - This isn’t a podcast, it’s told like a medical drama watched from underneath a blanket.
Season 1 was a very important and impressive piece of journalism told through a compelling storyline with lots of interviews. I don’t know what they were thinking with the writing for season 2. I couldn’t get through the first episode. The storyline feels contrived and at times condescending. I don’t like the style of being told how to consume the show like I’m watching TV. It’s a podcast?!
Apple Podcasts1CouldabeengoodUnited Statesa month ago - Journalism that matters
These are such important issue that have been overlooked for so long. The story is told in a really compelling way that sucks you in. However, I’m not a fan of the “creative” spin used in season 2, framing it as a medical drama. The stories are so compelling on their own that it wasn’t necessary and distracts from the people’s experiences. Even so, I highly recommend this docuseries
