“I hate how accurate it is. Baltimore gets a lot of bad publicity and maybe that is part of why the police are the way they are. They are pushed to do a near impossible job. Most of the city has a lot of crime & cooperating with police is its own death sentence. Police are pushed to...”Read full review »

“Disgraced police officer Wayne Jenkins has the absolute audacity and delusion to believe that what he and his criminal conspirators did doesn’t warrant a 25 year sentence.
You did a great job in showing his lack of a moral compass and highlighting that this was just the tip of the Iceberg and...”Read full review »

“I’m bothered how you make out some of their heroic acts as if they weren’t on the front lines in harms way. I feel safe when drug dealers and gang bangers are locked up in a correctional facility. Free Wayne Jenkins!”

“I really only like this podcast because it has Wayne Jenkins on it himself. Being from Baltimore..I must say it’s really infuriating for her to continue to reference the criminals as “victims”. Yes, there were a few actual victims. However the majority of these people were criminals.. gang...”Read full review »

“Absolutely incredible story of the most corrupt police task force! I can’t even believe this story is true and sadly it is. The host of this podcast is incredible and this podcast deserves much more recognition and a higher rating! I was led here from Jessica’s article about the task force....”Read full review »

“This is a great podcast. It's presented in an easy-listening style and moves along at a good clip. I enjoyed hearing about the bad cops of Baltimore and, of course, wonder about cops all over the world. There are good and bad--just hope the good outweigh the bad. I recommend this podcast.”Read full review »

“Episode length/frequency was great (commenters who wanted more have too much time on their hands) but felt the ending was a bit lacking.
Was waiting for a pay off that never landed.”

“If Jessica says “elite task force” one more time….. Elite? This was a task force run by morons w/o supervision. Elite? Jessica is really, really dumb. BBC should be ashamed.”

“Agreed with other comments. The episodes are too short and we would love to hear 2 a week or one a week if you combine two of your episodes to make them of a decent length!
Great show otherwise just frustrating format...”

“How on earth is this rated 5 stars?
it’s full of advertisements and the episodes consist of dragging out known parts of the story.
This is a big money grab for BBC”

“To short episodes and then the wait is too long. I forget everything that’s happened and you need to be on top of everything. The flashbacks at beginning aren’t sufficient because you forget every individual involved.
Might come back in a few months when all available”

“The story is fascinating and reminds me of the movie Training Day.
But to only release one episode per week of what is already a really short podcast just seems archaic and will probably lead to me losing interest without being able to listen to it on demand.
Had I realised before hand that...”Read full review »

“This is a fascinating and terrible story all in one.
Having watched and loved The Wire, I can’t help but find many comparisons to that tale. I am early into the show so can’t speak for all episodes but I can’t wait for the next one! Well worth a listen !!”
