This podcast is amazing and is a must listen to podcast! Season 3 takes a raw and deep dive into our criminal justice system by looking at regular cases with astonishing outcomes. The narrator, Sarah, provides her own insight to what she observed. She also adds information to the case that was not previously mentioned but is vital for us listeners to know. Such a good podcast and I highly recommend!!

Conveniently racist and sexist
Good podcast with good information. It is paced well and is entertaining. Listening to the episode about the young woman in Cleveland who was in a bar fight. The sex and race of those involved is mentioned and highlighted when it fits the hosts narrative. When it does not, it is passed over very quickly. One example, a female prosecuting attorney was unwilling to drop or lower charges on the female defendant. Not mentioned. When the white male attorney took over, he loaded the charges immediately. His race and sex not highlighted in any way. Very inconsistent to the point that it is noticeable.

Easy listening
Best podcast I’ve ever. Great story telling. Only issue is that there aren’t enough episodes.

Quit after season 1
Binge season one with a big ole spoon. Take or leave seasons 2 and 3 due to the “meh” nature of the stories. Season 4? I won’t even listen to racist drivel.

Biased viewpoint.
Too bad you couldn’t truly report without bias. Too bad you couldn’t see all students were lifted and education levels improved for all. Too bad all you could see were white people wanting to improve education, all children’s education, not just people of color. I would have to say this series was the most biased perspective on any subject I have seen. I usually enjoy Serial; not this time

Amazing
I’m super late to the party but just finished season 1 and I am 99% sure I know who did it and how it went down. Mind blown.

White Guilt
Hoping to learn something and as I completed the final episode, I became annoyed and angered by the amount of white guilt that was poured into the last few minutes. Shameful.

ONE OF THE BEST!
This is one of the best podcasts ever. If you like true crime then this is for you. Once you start listening you can’t stop. The story telling, everything is amazing. If you haven’t listened I won’t give any thing away but it’s my personal opinion that Adnan did not do this. A MUST LISTEN!

Started Strong...
However the latest season is pure virtue signaling garbage. She really needs to grow her emotional intelligence...

Incisive and excellent
I know this school, and she got it right. Every episode covered a different topic, one more fascinating than the next. If you are a liberal white parent who espouses belief in integration and lives in a diverse neighborhood, yet chooses not to send your children to the school on the corner (without even looking at it), you might feel accused of racism. You might be asked to look at yourselves, at your subversion of the school choice movement, at your reasons for choosing the many private schools that opened after your city tried to integrate, aiming directly at your demographic by curating the exact number of students of color with which your child will be surrounded. It might be hard. When you hear the children, parents, and educators whom you worked so hard and payed so much to ensure that your child would never meet, you might think, “Why, these children are smart, these parents are like me, these teachers know so much about subject matter and pedagogy! Why did I so prioritize avoiding this good experience for my child?” It may be hard. But it ends with real thinking and points to ways forward. It is honest, fascinating, powerful, and utterly listenable. Finish all episodes.

Crap
This is anti racist woke crap. America does not agree with this.

Transparent as the silence on Palestine
Amazing how these progressive types never mention the injustice and racism perpetrated against the peoples 70 years ago evicted by force from their homeland ...better to keep the attention on those evil bigoted white Christians .

“Nice white parents” is utterly tone-deaf about education
I - an educator in an international school that serves primarily underprivileged children - was excited to hear this in-depth report on a school in Brooklyn with a changing demographic.From the start, the narrator clumsily and self-righteously seems to mix up “international” schools, the “international baccalaureate organization” and bilingual education; all in the spirit of some weak metaphor about gentrification being extended into a school’s context and the evil of the mighty dollar.She paints the Puerto Rican parents as bumbling, unsophisticated victims of sneaky, white, self-interested rich liberals.This whole premise is a mess and it’s self-serving for the sensationalist, clueless “journalist” who put it together. This person should not be writing about education. She doesn’t understand it.

Yikes
This is cringeworthy at its finest. Super sad they went for attention grabbing. Season one was great . All down hill from then . Listen to something better like, nails on a chalkboard.
