“Excited the girls are back to talk McBeal. I randomly (and I mean randomly) started watching this show that I barely remembered from my childhood last year out of pure curiosity and 90s nostalgia. This is a great watchalong show. I wish they didn’t take A.M. off Amazon video though 😤”

“If you’re looking for a great fix of 90s/early 00s nostalgia, this is the podcast for you (assuming you are familiar with the show…)
The hosts are hilarious with great banter, whilst also being very inclusive and sharing a thoughtful modern perspective on what, in hindsight, could be a very...”Read full review »

“I used to love this Podcast but I’m sad to say that I’ve not enjoyed it as much this year (season 3). The most recent episode I listened to (the one with the ‘oddball parade’) just felt so full of negativity at almost every turn that it’s began to spoil my enjoyment of the show and the Podcast. I...”Read full review »

“Wow, these sisters are so funny and lovely and insightful - I couldn’t quite figure out why I both loved and hated Ally McBeal when I watched it during its first run, but they have nailed it. Lots of troublesome things in the show, but boy do they make it funny. I’m from the states, and I really...”Read full review »

“I can’t believe I haven’t already reviewed Bygones! I love hearing Laura Jane and Eleanor discuss Ally McBeal and the 90s, especially since we’re about the same age. It’s great to revisit the show as an adult and to hear other women’s thoughts on it since I only had my grandma to talk about it...”Read full review »

“Bring your dancing baby butt over to Bygones: The Ally McBeal podcast because you won’t regret it. Love Ally McBeal? Never seen it? Doesn’t matter! The ladies are bringing it to you through the modern lens all with lovely, lovely British accents. The 90s were very problematic, this show isn’t....”Read full review »

“I began listening to Bygones last week, and I am so, so thankful I found it! It’s been such a blast re-watching Ally McBeal and then hearing LJ and Eleanor’s modern day take. They do an excellent job of keeping their critiques intelligent and honest without sacrificing humor and lightheartedness....”Read full review »

“I've really enjoyed looking back on Ally McBeal with Bygones! Applying 2018's very clear filter gives a fresh take on the show, while keeping things fun too. The hosts are great, you can tell they have a real fondness for AM and are well informed about curent attitudes too. Looking...”Read full review »

“I for one have never seen a single episode of Ally McBeal, but that doesn't stop me from enjoying a podcast all about it; plus who doesn't love revisiting the dodgy 1990s?! Laura-Jane & Eleanor are a tremendous pair and they both make this such an easy listen and hugely entertaining...”Read full review »

“I'd forgotten all about Ally McBeal and how much influence it had on the zeitgeist of the time. Listening to this great podcast brings it all back. Taking one episode at a time, Laura-Jane and Eleanor not only recap the show, but also tell us what it meant to them, and where they were in...”Read full review »

“This show's pitch of re-evaluating this classic 90s show with 2018 eyes is bang on the money - while there's a lot of deserved nostalgia for Ally McBeal, as well as straight up fun storytelling, it's just old enough to be a fascinating time capsule of outdated tropes and attitudes...”Read full review »

“I was OBSESSED with Ally McBeal as a teenager, so much that I dreamed of moving to Boston to be a lawyer, just like her. (That did not happen...)
In general, I love podcasts that examine shows episode by episode, and this is no exception. These British sisters bring insightful commentary to the...”Read full review »

“"Bygones" truly is the Ally MacBeal podcast you never knew you needed. Somehow all of us, men and women alike, repressed the inconvenient truth of having watched every season of Ally Macbeal with our families back in the 90's, only to have all the memories flood back with the Parker...”Read full review »
