Felt Unresolved and Overlong
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 about why one spoke at one time or the other. It was a turn taking of sorts. 3. *spoiler* History buffs know the murder is unsolved, yet he final episode takes a spin into two unconnected characters in different time periods and after lots of backstory there’s supposed to be this big aha moment that made no sense to me and was very unclear. It left me feeling like I spent all this time with this podcast and there wasn’t a real ending. In fact, if it really was the person with the death bed confession, where were they throughout the first 5 episodes? How could so much time be spent on other suspects just to cut the story off that way. It could have been done differently. Less drama, one narrator, and an ending that doesn’t feel so confusing would have made it four stars.

More reviews of Murder in Hollywoodland
I love this serial. I feel like I’m back in another era. Love the case and everything about the way the story is told. Great production. I wish there were more than six episodes.

This podcast is so entertaining and I love hearing the about this particular crime. The time period, the language, the “glamour” of old Hollywood. I can’t wait to find out who the killer is!

A lot of true crime podcast has been created. But this is by far one of the good ones. I love it. The voice sounds soothing.
