“The podcast series had a lot of potential, but failed in several areas:
- Poor sound quality at best.
- Actors recreating the statements of criminals had such low sound quality as to be hard to understand. I get what the effect they wanted to get was, but they went overboard and it detracted from...”Read full review »

“I had never heard this case. I love podcasts where you get to hear from the people involved in solving the case. Very well told & narrated. A must listen.”

“Could have been interesting but should have made it a couple episodes and other related things. Or went into more detail, or had more of the interviews. It was detailed only for tiny parts which were repeated and rehashed and repeated and rehashed”

“Audio quality 😖
Repetitive, literally saying the same parts of story needlessly 😵💫
The plot was decent but this was best to a pulp 🤐
First podcast that I found frustrating & annoying to listen to. SHOCKED Wondery selected this, for a payed subscription I thought they had set a higher bar....”Read full review »

“There are two types of crime podcasts. One honors the victims, tells the story and brings awareness to the case. See True Crime guys or Crime Garage. The other is glorifying the crime, the victim and their families are re-victimized by the telling. This podcast does that.
Technically there is a...”Read full review »

“Got so frustrated wanting to listen to this story but having to sit through all of the shallow and repetitive information didn’t just make me give up, it made me slam my phone down. ‘Two small time screwups- they get together they turn murderous’ OKAY WE GET!
Also- constantly labeling this...”Read full review »

“I made allowances for the redundancy, the unknown “experts,” the dubious connections to other crimes with few similarities in distant locations—but the intrusive background music was nearly unbearable.”

“I’m pretty shocked at the overall mediocre ratings - I thought this was a pretty good poddy. I even thought the dramatised prison testimony was good and that the actor did a top job! I kind of missed the misogynistic undertones others spoke about too… not usually something I’d miss… so I’m...”Read full review »

“Horrible sound, they need better microphones. Super repetitive, I couldn’t figure out if I’d already heard them. Experts contradict each other and for some reason a another podcaster is giving us their opinion. Could’ve been two episodes. Not much content.”

“1. Narrator talks way too fast. He has a nice voice but there are zero pauses for commas and periods, which gets very very annoying.
2. Why wasn’t this 1-2 episodes? It’s the same
Thing drug out with one new sentence of info every episode after the first.”

It helps the listener follow along and recall information. I’d love another podcast similar to this....”Read full review »

“Honestly this feels like a sympathetic approach to the killers of over twenty women. Stating that the killers mother was “wildly promiscuous” and that this way all her fault for him becoming a sociopathic serial killer. No thanks.”

“Could have made this 2 episodes. Used about 10 to 15 minutes of the same audio every episode and then threw in a short story about the benders. Nothing to binge maybe listen to some other true crime podcast this would have been one episode.”

“Such a great story. But just like others have said, terrible podcast design.
I feel like you could listen to an actual podcast that reviews this issue in 1 episode. How I made it to episode 3 I’m not sure. But I will not be listening to anymore from this.”

“The story is interesting but they definitely didn’t have enough content to fill the season so the runtime is padded with the same audio clips over and over again. Listen to the Small Town Murder episode about this family. They cover everything in a couple of hours.”

“With each episode, I thought “I’ve heard this all before.” The content keeps repeating literally the same material over and over again. I’d never heard of Taylor and McCrary but enough is enough. If you’re reading this review, take it from me - listen to the first episode and then stop.”
