“I find the actual content and overall story itself very fascinating, so imagine my disappointment when I was unable to even finish it because of the AWFUL structure used to tell the story. It’s all over the place and not an easy listen at all.”

“After beginning your podcast, I looked up YouTube and started watching other stuff on the BBC and you start off with this Ron Levin being murdered or missing, but what you don’t tell is how Ron Levin played the BBC and a scammed the scammers, which would lead to his death!!”

“Well researched, produced and performed.
The time jumps are easy to follow, not least because the narrators change each time the story jumps backwards or forwards, so I’m entirely sure why people were so confused by them 🤷🏼♀️”

“This podcast ( or should I say “radioplay”?) is so cringe I couldn’t finish the first episode. The reimagined scenes are so cliché and hokey that I feel embarrassed for the writers. With so many excellent reported podcasts around, I won’t waste my time on this. Pity. It seemed like a promising...”Read full review »

“These were terrific episodes of a subject we all thought we knew well due to many movies etc about the BBC…. There is so much more to know…. Wondery is one of the finest podcasts out there.”

“I wanted to like it but I found it too confusing. I kept forgetting who was who and the rattling off of names so quickly left me having to reverse and start again, over and over.”

“Yeah the timeline was different, but once it’s understood that this is the storyline crafting, then it becomes a rather riveting vehicle for better grasping the full viscous nature of the main character, and the narrative arc that brought him to his destiny.”

“This is objectively a really interesting story but ruined by terrible voice-acting and soap opera-style storytelling. Could only listen to an episode-and-a-half before I’d had enough.”

“The pacing is pretty bad and the timeline is confusing, plus the prose can be… cringey at times (looking at you, Darwin section of castles and queens), but overall the story it itself is interesting and honestly captivating enough to be worth a listen—like reality TV, something to put on in the...”Read full review »

“I listened till halfway through the second episode. The people in the story are so vapid, their concerns so meaningless, it’s like—why should I care about any of this? And what others say about the overacting and speculation. Pass.”

Superb.”

“If Joe had wanted to testify then he would have. The lawyer does not have the final say in that matter. I wonder if it would have made a difference. I agree about the narration and the flashbacks- timeline was way too confusing.”

“I appreciate the story and the narrators, but the flashbacks while listening to what’s happening in real time isn’t the same as on TV and just lends to confusion. I wish they would’ve gone with the basic format.”

“If you want to listen to a fictional suspense novel that’s somewhat based on true events, this is your podcast. However, it’s pretty irresponsible that the writers felt the need to inject fake dialogue into what they assume (or want listeners to believe) were the actual thoughts and conversations...”Read full review »

“Loved the story but the dramatics were distracting from the story. Plus, way too much editorializing of what people were thinking in certain events. They gave the POV of one guy way too many times considering he was dead and there’s no way of knowing what he was thinking. Took away from the...”Read full review »
