“Totally blown away by series 2, having also enjoyed series/season 1. The first series perhaps had the wind taken out of its sails by the culprit being found just before they went to air, but season 2 is a Herculean feat of investigation that should be required listening on all journalism courses around the world. And that doesn’t make it dull, either - every episode seems to have a new jaw-dropping revelation about the many instances of ineptitude and corruption that led Curtis Flowers to be in jail for decades despite being repeatedly judged innocent.
Hope someone is managing to get paid for all this work...
The case of Curtis Flowers looks for all the world like a shocking miscarriage of justice, and the story of how it happened is a startling insight into the way justice works (or often doesn’t) in the US - and the attitudes, prejudices, complacency and cover-ups that probably uphold such errors not just in America but in many other countries.
An incredible achievement and a gripping podcast.”
