Customer Reviews
Very good but…..
Jason Moon is an excellent story teller. It’s certainly not a cut and dry situation. The adults in Josh’s life are to blame. A very sad story of no one able to break the cycle of abuse and addiction.
Repetitive
Jason Moon does a good job. Explains people and their roles in the story well. It is quite repetitive. Some seasons are dragged out more than they need to(season4). I’m not sure why, but since it’s NHPR they do always find a way to insert race into the discussion. Whenever explain incarceration rates or educational rates etc. Race does get inserted into the storyline.
Evocative, interesting story
This is a very interesting story with complex implications. I’m now wondering about the mental gymnastics of prosecutors prosecuting addicts for selling drugs that result in death but not prosecute gun manufacturers for making guns that result in death
