I love the sound quality, the production is spot on, the story and insights and relevancy and the ebb and flow of intensity, the voice actors and plot and all of it is just so good.
Good, but with a catch

Great story if they’d only leave out the gay roles. I listened to all four new episodes, and it is truly sad that the writers and producers push this agenda.
