“Spends several episodes talking about a conspiracy and never presenting evidence of one. Seems like a tragic accident.”

“What a rip off. As someone who lives near where this is all taking place, I am down the rabbit hole of this case and was excited to listen
To the series but I’m not paying for every episode. Ridiculous”

“I echo other reviewers. The podcast is great and I LOVE not having to listen to ads so I am happy to pay for the content. Please don't negatively review the content because you don't like structure, particularly when it's made clear.”Read full review »

“This podcast gives me mixed feelings. I felt really intrigued by the story, but I would argue that probably 10-15% of all episodes is dedicated to the prosecutions side of things, and that was disappointing… The whole show is only hearing the defense for Karen, and I feel it would’ve been more...”Read full review »

“OK! You can’t afford the plus subscription and that makes you mad — WE CAN! And think it’s fair! So stop ****ing review bombing every single podcast with a paywall cause those of us who realize podcast companies do need to find ways to make money want to know the quality of the SHOW! Not see that...”Read full review »

“This tells the story mostly from Karen’s/her lawyer’s POV, but not much from the prosecution’s. I understand why they did that - the defense is the whole reason this case is famous, and the controversy is what is driving clicks. And on one hand, it’s refreshing to see the defense’s take, because...”Read full review »

“First, I don’t understand all the low ratings. Seems sus.
Second, this is a master class on defense and creating reasonable doubt.
Third, it strikes me that there was an opportunity to check for canine dna in the lacerations. The human dna seems less likely to prove anything criminal than it...”Read full review »

“The glee that the presenter had in demonstrating the prosecution’s errors and shortcomings was palpable.
Ms. Read should be obligated to pay Wondery as part of her PR team.
I hope the jury got it right with their decision.”

“They put clip highlights at the beginning of the pod then replay them over and over so you never know which is the “real” broadcast.
Working through the story but it could have been done in 3 or 4 pods.”

“As other reviewers have noted, this podcast feels one-sided. But for anyone who’s done even a modicum of research into this case (e.g. just watched the trial), it’s so much worse than that. The host often says things as though they are obvious, when the clips played to support the assertions...”Read full review »

“Should’ve guessed since the podcast is named Karen the story would be titled in her favor, but it’s almost comically biased. As a previous rater noted, it misinterprets events and only gives credence to defense strategies. During voir dire for the second trial, potential jurors should be asked if...”Read full review »
