Exploitative journalism

“A wildly overrated podcast. There’s a decent story beneath the chaff that would have made a readable feature article, but a 10-part podcast is pure journalistic self-indulgence. Fattening this out to such an extent only serves to smother the real messages and make the whole saga feel excruciatingly petty. It turns genuine human drama into something resembling the worst of reality TV. Bloating this story also detracts from the sympathy one might otherwise feel for the protagonist, Marty. Ultimately each character becomes as unlikeable as the next: the self- and celebrity- obsessed, malpracticing psychiatrist; his weak-willed, obsequious, attention-seeking victim; and the greedy, arrogant journalist who gleefully continues the cycle of exploitation for his own benefit. I’m really looking forward to not watching the TV adaptation.”
