Why not 5 stars - over-reliance on one voice and weekly releases
The narrator has a nice turn of phrase and a knack for telling a story. He has an excellent outside view of Pakistan and Bhutto, and I was beguiled by the story. And the production has all the hallmarks of the BBC: excellent journalism and high technical for the sound quality. However, I deducted a star as the podcasts is only one person’s filtered view - even if that person is accomplished and expert. I would have much preferred to have at least a couple of narrators weave their stories, and to have a insider’s view rather than rely solely on the journalistic interpretation of a single expatriate/ external voice. I was tempted to deduct another star for BBC’s decision to drip feed us weekly updates!! It is a beguiling story, why not daily updates? Or 3 a week?

Compelling narrative. Wish the episodes were a tad longer - can not wait for episode 2.
