It doesn’t work anymore! AT ALL
When Bad People ended out of the blue it was pretty weird and now it’s back with a very similar format but without Sofie! Sofie was the main reason I listened and the dynamic and chemistry between the two hosts worked really well and I always found they had an interesting, nuanced approach to complex and often traumatic topics with clever use of humour. I was sceptical but gave the new series first episode a listen and was really underwhelmed but also annoyed. It’s now apparently a generic, biased look at ‘true crime’ with some quite worrying misogynistic generalisations, within the extremely complex area of intimate partner violence and interpersonal and relational abuse. I think the new host could do with reading about family systems theory if they are going to have such strong opinions. I like Julia and she should maybe have done her own completely new series rather than continue this one which is a shadow of what it was before.

More reviews of Bad People
What a waste of time....they just take the headlines of the time and don’t follow up what happens to the people...

Brilliant deep dive of a true crime story each episode. Fab repartee and relationship between the presenters. Sometimes laugh out loud funny. Always feminist never boring. Perfect mix of pop culture informed conjecture and evidenced based crime psychology. The actual dream.

Always great stories, good explanation. I love listening to Julia and Sophie together in this podcast, they are a great combo!
