“I love TV based podcasts and was thrilled to find one on Big Little Lies. After listening through episode 5 I have found that often times (and especially this episode), I feel like the hosts haven’t watched the same show as me! Most TV podcasters rewatch the shows to pick up on details for discussions. I get the impression these hosts don’t. There are basic plot points that they’ve misinterpreted (ie mishearing a line) and then use the wrong information to make predictions. I also think it would be valuable to have a more diverse group of people discussing. 4 hosts - none have children and are trying to explain the actions of parents. If if was 2 friends that would be one thing, but they have a large group so why not try to get some 30-40 something married folks!
The book: I’ve listened to several podcasts where someone has read the book, but in this case she refers to it way too much. If you are doing a podcast based on a show I prefer you stick to the show and only reference the book to add clarity. I feel like the book is mentioned all the time!
All in all I think this podcast tries hard, but hasn’t quite clicked. Hopefully if there’s a next season they will be able to iron out the wrinkles and live up to their potential!”
