Over-engineered storytelling
Like a 2min news segment stretched out over multiple eps... Far too much voiceover, written with lots of news-style cliches. I’m sure the makers intended to make it dramatic but this actually makes it hard to follow the thread of the story. Which is a shame, because it has some stylish elements. Good effort, but doesn’t work.

More reviews of Polonium & the Piano Player
It’s probably interesting but you have to tell a story! And repeating again and again that the story is about to start is just boring. All the flashbacks right at the beginning is bad story telling.

I was looking forward to this, as I was expecting a podcast about a Russian diplomatic crisis. What I heard was a boring story about a not terribly appealing Piano player who liked to drone on about how many pop stars he knew. Pointless.
