Customer Reviews
Can’t stop listening!
I have never heard of these cases and they are so intriguing. Hearing from so many different points of view is impressive!!! I have been listening to Podcasts before podcasts were known. I listened to the first and second seasons. This is in my top three best ever series podcasts. Great job guys!! I hope you get the recognition you deserve for such great investigative journalism.
A fascinating glimpse into a complex character.
Have enjoyed every season of Chameleon, and season six has been quite enjoyable as well. The tale of Helge’s rise, fall, and resurrection is fascinating, and reveals a complicated, tenacious, talented, charming and somewhat flawed individual. In addition, the series gives a unique glimpse into the world of art as commodity, and those who profit from it as such. A minor criticism: I found the interjection of the host’s opinion to be distracting, and thought the series would have been better served had the host remained neutral in his storytelling, and let the listeners decide who Helge was for themselves. Overall, well worth a listen!
What happened to Chameleon ?
Loved every season but gallery of lies is so boring. Barely edited except to tell us they’re not including a story? Who cares how you arrived to Spain. When did chameleon become so bland? Maybe get some more diversity in your hosts or subject matters?
