“Well researched, captivatingly told and sensitive to the important and difficult topics like coersive control, toxic relationships and intimate partner violence (and the normalization of that) without sensationalizing it. Especially the Bonus Episode which features the strong and very courageous women who helped shine light on these topics brought all the themes together and helped strengthen the message and lessons learned from this horrible case. A must-hear for all who like high quality investigative true crime podcasts. My only wish is that the podcast could have elaborated a little more on the topic of addiction and especially opiod-abuse since although John Meehan seemed to have been a sadistic, evil, dangerous person with no empathy whatsoever, it would have been interesting to research on how the drug abuse and constant need for satisfying the addiction might have contributed to his actions – which he propably would have committed anyway. Especially since opiod-abuse is such a common problem in the U.S. how I learned from the Podcast „Hooked“, which ist also very good.”
