A bit plain. Sad when anyone dies of course, but as a narrative podcast it felt a little thin. Still it’s executed professionally, with good audio journalism and interviews with witnesses and investigators.
A bit overhyped

Interesting, but more follow up with family would have added something more. Perhaps they did not wish to participate. One cannot help but arrive at the conclusion that the man was involved in something shady in Pakistan.
Good
