“I think this show is going to prove to be a wonderfully dark comedy. I listen to 4-5 other Afterbuzz podcasts and by far this is the poorest in regards to the cast that is talking about the show. The number of just flat out mistakes they are making regarding what is actually shown on the screen and not open to interpretation is staggering. They speak in the second podcast about this being based on a true story, the opening doesn’t say that, it says, “THIS IS A TRUE STORY”. There is a huge difference between those two statements. This was the most glaring example. I’m not going to do a point by point (but I could), but anybody listening, that actually watched the show and paid attention will catch them quite easily.
The other podcasts I listen to on Afterbuzz, generally speaking, take a linear approach to dissecting the episodes. This crew is all over the place, there doesn’t appear to be any format, other than there is no format. No one on the cast is in charge of keeping the conversation on topic. While I find the differences between Hasidic and Orthodox Jews religious practices fascinating, five minutes of the podcast was wasted on this topic on what could be a throw away character. Might not end up being a throw away, when we find out then lets talk more about the character. Until then let it go. Oh and the female that said the character Molly is pushing too hard regarding the case, what are you thinking, she’s a cop, thats her job, that is what she is supposed to do. Do we say that Vincent D’Onofrio’s character in Law and Order is pushing to hard to solve the case, is it because she is a woman? This is what good cops do. Please, Please, Please transfer the Afterbuzz cast from the Justified podcast to this one, they are fantastic and know how to discuss television intelligently.”
