“I’ve listened to this podcast several times. I love the way they do the voice acting. Totally immerses you in the story. I wish they would do more of these.”

“I really enjoyed this podcast, so much so, I binged over two days and finished it a lot sooner than I wished I would. First time listening to a podcast scripted this way, and found it surprisingly enjoyable. But then again, I’m an old Hollywood fan from way back.. they just don’t make them like...”Read full review »

“Listen to the last episode (the interview one) it helps lay out the motive. There are a TON of ads though, really trying to force you to buy wondery+”

“Well performed and executed, but the twist and turns in the plot lacked intrigue. A lot of characters introduced with background, but you rarely feel a connection to any of them. I don’t think I would listen to it if I had to do it again. The setting was the most interesting part of the story.”

“Very noir, and well acted in the recreations. I agree that the weird stab-in-the-dark solution was not really within the flow of the rest of the story, but overall, it was good. Nice history, interesting to listen to.”

“I can't believe I wasted all that time on a murder mystery that not only doesn't know who done it, but at the end, out of the blue, takes a wild stab at who did it and then offers no possible motive why! Way too much pointless detail, way too many irrelevant characters, way too many...”Read full review »

“An addictive story with the usual top notch writing and production from Wondery. A fascinating portrayal of Hollywood in the 1910’s with all the money, drugs, gin blossoms, flighty personalities and violence one would expect as the new entertainment industry was born.”

“I have always enjoyed the Wondery podcasts so I assumed this one would be good as well. I won’t make that mistake again. The story jumps from time period to time period and from starlet to starlet making it difficult to keep up with who they are talking about. Much of it seems like made up...”Read full review »

“This is the first wondery podcast I have not enjoyed. I found it hard to follow and it did not hold my attention. Too many characters to keep straight and it kept jumping forward and back in time between different narrators.... I just found I really didn’t care about random Hollywood starlets...”Read full review »

“I can’t fault a true crime story too much for the circumstances of an ending. However when that story is framed as a murder mystery, the end is more important than with other tales. And not only was the who a last minute addition to the layout of the story but the why was non existent. In that...”Read full review »

“The story is actually interesting but so much of the podcast is spent promoting other podcasts. I understand ads, however another story in the middle of the story being told is very distracting and annoying. I gave up after 3 episodes because of it”

“I knew of the story, I knew all the ‘players’ but there was more details. I liked the voice actor. But the ads ruined the flow. Maybe play all the ads at the beginning, so as not to interrupt the story.”

“Thanks for this fascinating true and historical mystery. I also learned a lot about the in-and-outs and early history of Hollywood — I doubt that much has changed over the years—quickly fading careers, salaries, unions, etc. Thank you for this great podcast.”

“Split into a bunch of different timelines, across a bunch of characters, with no real sense of direction or suspense. They spent five of the six episodes following one thread and then totally switch gears for the finale and bring in people we’ve never even heard of. This was a really bad podcast.”

“Wondery has been criticized time and time again over Tracy Pattin’s line of confusing, split narrative podcasts. There’s no way they listen to it when editing and say, “yea, this flows well.” There must be some other ulterior motive for writing it like this. Anyway, it’s just not any good. Too...”Read full review »

“It’s a decent dramatization but there’s a lot of overacting and overt conjecture that took away from it. It was really irritating however to have no definitive conclusion. You had King Veeder in 1966 “knowing” who murdered Taylor but he never says who. (We’re to assume it’s Mary.) And then out of...”Read full review »

“A few things that dampened the experience:
1. As with most Wondery productions, the theme music is too loud and never fits the genre. I always find it jarring and louder than the content.
2. It was a dramatized documentary, with the two head writers reading the script, but there was no clarity...”Read full review »

“This podcast started out really good — and was pretty good overall — but I thought it lost steam the last episode or two.
Didn’t tie everything together like I’d hoped, and seemed to lose a little focus.
But, overall, it was nicely done and I’d listen to other things they offer in the future.”
