“Hi,
I love love the Serial series! Season 1 introduced me to this type of investigative and important storytelling years ago. This season just feels like it has lost itself. H understandably feels close to this type of story but his bias is so apparent throughout the series I can’t believe it was published. The way he speaks to people he is interviewing, when they don’t align to the story he believes is awful. He mistakes people getting upset and struggling to find words for guilt- when in actual fact they feel uncomfortable with his obvious accusatory tone. No wonder people don’t want to be involved!! Part of what I love about Serial is the way Brian and Sarah go into every conversation without judgement or emotion. They ask the questions, understanding that yes people make poor decisions- they don’t mock or interrogate. They simply listen and ask thoughtful and important questions. I finished this series (I wanted to see if his style would improve) dismayed and disappointed with it. It didn’t really answer questions and seems to have only further isolated more people involved. I think the outcome could have been so different had he not been involved. -Charlotte, Ireland”
