“I was made to give a 5-star review earlier in good faith, but to be honest to myself, after actually listening, here is the edit: I had the stomach to listen to only a couple of episodes, and it's not the subject itself but the treatment that's nauseating. At first, it seemed that one of the hosts mostly brings the nuance of legal speak, political context, and another treats this podcast literally like a joke, a clickbait, and merely juicy stories of victims who can be dehumanized.
But more importantly, quite a few "criminals" as well as victims they have focused on are the underprivileged -- what's pathetic is, the hosts (both lawyers, apparently) joke about these people's circumstances: for example, a poor rural mother leaving her baby at school is met with a "duh", a 9-yr-old child criminal is ridiculed with a "Wah, what an accomplishment", and a Mumbai slum dweller is mocked for entering the drug business as if it's an obvious or easy choice for this section of people. With lawyers like these, who needs the police!
If privileged savarna lawyers laughing at criminalization-vs-victimization of the poor and oppressed castes is your taste, then go for it.”Read full review »
