Poor Idea and Execution

“I'm a pretty big fan of many of The Ringer shows (BS Podcast, The Watch, House of Carbs). I waited to hear as many episodes as I could before giving any feedback - especially harsh critical feedback. But this is a particularly unfocused poor effort. For one, the "awards of the week" is a forced and unnecessary mechanism to push the show along.
In an effort to have a show that is timely and airs as close to the airing of the show as possible, it always feels like random people were called into a room and just blurt out initial impressions. The Ringer is typically smarter than this. I hate to compare, but when Andy Greenwald and Chris Ryan discuss shows, even if only for 10-20 mins, it seems significantly more fully thought out. Even when I don't agree with their takes, I always get a fresh and compelling argument or take.
Many shows are easy to just hold a recap podcast for: Power, Empire, The Walking Deaf. Shows without much depth outside of just talking about what happened and what's next to happen. Atlanta is not this kind of show. It requires a more in depth approach. If there's another season of Atlanta, just let Greenwald and Ryan talk about it a bit more on The Watch. This is way below the standards that The Ringer has set.”Read full review »

“I thoroughly enjoy the Billions podcasts, done by their show runners. Yes, it is nerdy and very inside stuff, but as someone who has enjoyed each and every episode of all five seasons, I find it fascinating and educational on many levels. I really hope that the show runners don’t get discouraged...”Read full review »

“Seems like they would at least make a comment of why there is no more Billions Recappables but all we get is silence. Dissapointing. Like it never existed the way the Ringer is acting.”
