“It was overall done well but could have been shorter. Sometimes I felt the researchers were young and naive and didn’t have a broad enough understanding of of topics. I appreciated the consultation of experts, but the conversations revealed their naivety. Specifically, of social and cultural...”Read full review »

“This show seems like it will be interesting but is just far too drawn out. I was surprised at how much credence was given by the host to easily debunked theories. For people who call themselves “true crime junkies” and researchers, they don’t seem to have a basic understanding of how law...”Read full review »

“This podcast didn’t go where one would expect but it ends up encapsulating so many things about human nature.
I don’t think anyone on the team is a mother because if they were they’d understand how painful it would be giving up a child.
We see things through our own life experiences & to...”Read full review »

“It was an ok series as a genealogy aspect but almost felt like a nothing event. The lesson that memories fade over time is not enough to warrant so many episodes.”

“The story of bringing Sue’s unknown family together was just beautiful! Wasn’t the “true crime” genre I expected and that episode 1 set up. A bit few too many episodes for the anti climatic ending. Overall, a good story to tell and powerful messages about depression and suicide.”

“It started off very exciting, and fizzled out just as fast. The center of this story isn’t Sue, it’s the local yokels that think a British accent, of all things, is mysterious.
To make matters worse, if you listen closely you can hear the producers burying the lede in episode 3 - they make...”Read full review »

“This is not a story about a mysterious super spy - it’s a story about the (faulty) memories left behind by the life of a complicated person. I agree with the sentiment of the last episode: I wish we could do extensively researched podcasts for all our dearly departed loved ones.”

Gone under suspicious circumstances. It’s tragic and I try and remember that. Sue was very complex, hence, the...”Read full review »

“I enjoyed listening to them try and figure out Sue’s life. It’s amazing how many facts that they’re unable to nail down, due to age or memory of witnesses. My one big criticism is the one host’s repeated use of, “totally!!”. It grated every time it was said.”

With all due respect this is not what a podcast should be about unless that is how it is presented up front. There was no crime, no mystery. Scam and a...”Read full review »

“The limited research the team did on suicide is disappointing. Dismissing death by Suicide as a cause of Sue’s death bc she was not diagnosed by a Dr in the 90s and the lack of a note is astounding. They talked to experts on everything else including wire tapping but not on the evolution of...”Read full review »
