Love it. Just hate the transition music. Totally kills the mood!

Poor choices were made when this was produced. You don’t need to have characters constantly talking over each other to create drama.

I am an avid audiobook listener but this is totally different. The dialogue and the actors were absolutely amazing! It just felt so real — haven’t experienced anything like it before. Bravo guys! You nailed it!

Podcast cast is AMAZING. Thumbs down to gimlet for abandoning this podcast once you went to the “big screen”. I can’t believe gimlet is advertising for their new podcast. They didn’t even finish this podcast or Sandra. I won’t be listening to the new one, no thanks.

Why would you get rid of all the episodes? I’m new to podcasts and only want to binge entire seasons not wait every week for some new podcast episode.

First there was the podcast. Like novels turned into movies, the books are always better. The same sentiment applies here. The casting and the work the actors put into this show is great and it helps that the directors and producers of this show paid attention to detail. Just wished the original cast was brought over to the live action version. Love and respect Julia Roberts, but Catherine Keneer really brings her own to the role. To the reviewer upset about the missing episodes here on Apple Podcasts — it wasn’t always this way. Before Gimlet media was bought out by Spotify, all the episodes could be found wherever you would get your podcasts including, Google Play Music. (R.I.P.) The episodes are still free though…just consolidated to one platform; try Gimlet’s website.

Better than the TV series, so listen to this before watching the show. Star-studded, and well acted. An intriguing story with a very satisfactory ending (unlike most fiction podcasts). The only reason for 4 stars is that the sound design is a tad underbaked. It has a nice, organic sound to it, but compared to modern fiction podcasts, it feels quickly assembled. In all, it's very deserving of being made into a series, and it's an important early entry in the first chapter of audio fiction.

Where to even begin? The podcast was exciting, and compelled me to listen. I was years late to the party, and had to find the TV series in hopes of following interesting characters to the end if the tale. I wish I hadn’t. Listen to the podcast, and stop there. The TV series is a star-studded flop. The writers should’ve stuck with the original story. The diversions from the original did nothing to improve the story. Season two was bizarre and deeply unsatisfying. I was interested in the story of the corrupt company and veterans. I was not seeking a drama about an interracial lesbian couple’s rise to power. The sub-plot hijacked the whole story. Having Joan Cusack parachute in as a jarringly and inexplicably deranged top dog who seized power out of thin air was about as logical as the Wicked Witch of the West crashing the Lollipop Guild’s welcome party. Walter, the central character, became a one-dimensional, unrelatable bit-part player. The ending was hollow. No justice was served. To add insult to an injurious ending, they closed out with the uncontested worst-ever version of “My Way.” And this was characteristic of all the poor music choices in this series. What a great pod that turned into a horrible TV series.

Where is episode 5

I found this podcast while browsing on Apple podcast, and the teaser sounded extremely interesting. However, I found to my dismay that only the teaser preview and the first episode are actually available on Apple. Apparently the rest have to be paid for on Spotify, which is fine, but why even put it on apple podcasts in the first place? These are supposed to be free podcasts that everyone can listen to and enjoy without having to pay for 15,000 other streaming subscriptions. Pretty Hurt, annoyed, disappointed, and overall fed up. The other reviews sounded promising as well, so I can only assume that most reviewers actually pay for Spotify. I personally use Apple Music. Guess I need to get used to paint podcast pay for Spotify.
