Wondery used to be good. This is not that.

“Like so many others, I watched the Hulu documentary and was riveted. I was prepared to pay whatever nominal cost Wondery was throwing at me given it’s reputation for quality. I’m not sure what’s happened to that quality, or if it never existed to begin with, but I’ll hang on to my money, thanks. I’ll ask Siri to read any of the dozens of excellently researched and produced pieces on the topic from reputable institutions - all of which managed to somehow correctly identify the Rosario family as being from Dominican Republic - instead. This fact is a critical part of the narrative, and the first episode’s inability to get that and other important aspects correct - not to mention the trite, overly produced background music and poorly executed voice-acting - showed me a deep lack of respect for the sorry and it’s victims, but also a lack of attention to detail.
In a world where fact can be a matter of opinion, a podcast about one man’s ability to distort reality for a group of people by manipulating what they believed to be facts can’t be this sloppy. Be premium, and add value. Or be free and lower expectations. But whatever you do, do better, Wondery.”

“The use of the transcripts (and voiced by actors) felt salacious. This show doesn’t feel like it’s offering commentary on any relevant social issues or allowing the victims to have a voice. Rather, using pain for profit.”
