Not Misophonia-Friendly
I had to stop listening. I wish they’d keep the lip smacking out of the re-enactments.

Titles don’t match episodes
Is it just me or anyone else having this problem? So confused!

Not for me
Meh. I love the genre, but the overly-polished narration style + reenactments don’t do anything for me. I struggle to stay engaged.

Great Pod but get your fingers ready
Very entertaining (although the Black Dahlia case was solved pretty much solved, see “Root of Evil pod) just have your fingers ready to skip, TONS of commercials. Would make the pod nearly unlistenable without the ability to skip ahead. The acting is very good as well.

Informative
I’m on podcast 15 in season one, really interesting so far. Lots of info I didn’t know about. Only negative is the one lady who interrupts and talks over the other man and woman. She should be told how rude that is.

Fascinating!
This podcast is very interesting. I really enjoy the way they tell the story.

Get rid of the commercials
Way to many commercials. Story is done well but the commercials ruin it. Put them at the end or the beginning and call it good. But 3 min commercial breaks don’t make me want to continue to listen.

guests
the original narration was good but the guests they bring in i think starting episode 11 (?) were both so irritating that i kept skipping episodes. both the man and the woman were obnoxious and rude and made this incredibly unbearable. the initial episodes were really good though. also??? i skip all these ads but they made me absolutely wanna stop listening the one time i did hear them

More ads than content
These episodes are so short that it makes the 5 minutes of ads almost unbearable. The stories are dramatized and based in speculation, not fact. I unsubscribed midway through a season because it was so slow and inconclusive and I looked up the wiki page on the crime to actually see what happened. I’ve heard one hour single episodes of shows more in depth than the 7 hour seasons this show has. Narration is okay and characters are well distinct, I’ll give the show that for production.

Interesting & entertaining
Interesting story. Hosts are excellent and I love that there are voice actors in it too.

Painful
I really want to like this series but the “actors” are soooo painful and distracting to listen to. The narrator has such a great voice and tells a great story, then suddenly you’re interrupted by cheesy re-enactment voices.

Addicting!
Soooo good! Great storytelling and the podcaster’s voices are clear and concise. Binged this, Young Charlie, and the Wonderland Murders (I may have the name wrong, but the one about the porn star) all during a cross country road trip last summer. I really wish they’d put the new episodes on here instead of luminary but until that ever happens, these will still be some of the most entertaining podcasts I’ll have listened to!

Great premise; awful re-enactments
Just based on what of Season 1 I’ve listened to thus far, the stories are incredibly interesting, but the re-enactments are painful. Exaggerated and like some bad college production featuring kids trying to sound noiry and old timey. It doesn’t work and you expect more from Wondery. Content is still great, though.

Excellent
Excellent stories and excellent research, interviews, information given and theories are fantastic. Definitely a 5 star podcast!!

Too many transitions
I tried listening to Young Manson but the second I would start getting into the narrative, they would change timelines and then go back only to change again— I normally like these people’s podcasts but this one was so weird.

It shouldn't even be on iTunes anymore.
I really enjoyed Hollywood & Crime when it first came out but it's been a long time since they dropped a real episode....and today they finally relased one with the reason why. They moved their show to a pay service. So they so graciously dropped a free episode here so people would go to find them at their new pay service. Forget that! They shouldn't even have this feed on iTunes anymore!

Top 3
Definitely one of my top favorite Podcasts. Loved Season 1 & 2 and was eagerly waiting for the next season. Then I found out you went behind a paywall with Luminary. Oh well it was fun, entertaining and informing while it lasted but I’m not paying for another streaming service. Your podcast and quality is great though so sorry to see you go.
