Season 1 - Adnan's Case
I am a True Crime enthusiast and this is one of the most detailed re-telling of a case including great first hand investigative journalism with unbias coverage regarding this case, she certainly creates a vivid picture of the investigation as well as deep diving into the people associated with the case, thank you for what you do!

Downhill
Season 1 was fantastic. Further seasons seem solely invested in pushing a political agenda. I’m out.

We were three
Must be the most boring and monotonous podcast I’ve listened to in quite some time. Do not listen to this while driving!

Covid Garbage
I can’t even listen to We Were Three. I sure hope they come out with an update to apologize and correct their blatantly false statements. Remdesivir kills people. We KNOW that now. Ivermectin DOES work. We know that now. The vaccine DOES shed. The vaccine DOES NOT stop anything. I am soooo disappointed in this.

Never Again
I am so grateful to scroll through these reviews and see that many many others are calling out the absolute trash that is “We were three”. What a joke. The lengths that this story goes to propagate and prop up the COVId narrative is nauseating. I feel for Rachel and both Peters but how their tragic story is used here to milk, once again, so many of the old stand by tropes is sad. No evidence for Ivermectin? Seriously? It’s 2022 folks… and not a mention (again it’s the end of 2022) of the absolute irrelevance of Vaccines when it comes to COVId outcomes. I stopped listening to NPR and reading the NYT a long time ago… saw a new season of Serial and thought… maybe this will be good. Never Again.

Gave extra star for season 1
The first season of serial was truly a transcendent high art experience. To this day I encourage people to listen and I enjoy thinking back on the case (I am firmly in the guilty camp). I was really disappointed when I tried out this season and immediately discovered it was about fringe COVID vax conspiracists. Highlighting COVID kooks is just such poor taste right now. After everything we’ve gone through we ought to be going out of our way to be gracious to people for being crazy during that period. Lord knows the self appointed vax police were just as cringeworthy. I’ll give you guys one more shot to pick a great topic but after that I’m out. S-Town was fantastic btw.

Waiting…
Listening to episode 1 of We Were Three. I’m struggling with why this is a podcast. Is there something dramatic that happens? Is this just Covid propaganda, ensuring the general public the unvaccinated conspiracy theorists are crazy? I am waiting for something to happen. Rachel has clearly faced serious hardship and loss, it’s a terrible thing to lose family members in such a short amount of time. Serial, I expected more. There has to be better stories than this.

Got really boring.
The last few episodes we were three are very redundant and boring.

We were three
Rachel clearly has issues and Serial gave her an outlet to air her family’s dirty laundry. I don’t know these people, and I was given no reason to care. The podcast was not as advertised and quickly went off the rails. The interviewer had zero control over the direction of this podcast. It is a train wreck.

We were three
I honestly got 1/2 way through the 2nd episode and thought why on earth am I listening to this?! It comes across as a therapy session and I don’t understand the point at all.

So Disgusting
Lots of incorrect statements in the child-like little Covid story. Anyone who understands p-value and methodology in scientific research gets this. I absolutely cannot believe people are still swayed by this propaganda. I can’t even tell if the writers intentionally aim for fantasy or if their ever-so-smooth brains believe the hot garbage they’re spewing. It’s just nauseating.

Trojan Horse is an Incredible Experience
I’m still in the middle of Trojan Horse, and it’s incredibly beautiful storytelling. The two journalists are building a friendship as well as a story, and it’s fascinating and entertaining to hear. As a teacher in the US, I understand a little of the frustration when others make assumptions without evidence, although I was also surprised that the UK schools require a daily worship experience! I was disappointed, but not shocked, to read the number of lazy, entitled reviews of this podcast. If you’re planning to write a review, please google what that is! Nothing is going to be perfectly suited to your exact specifications, and no storyteller is going to change themselves for you. If the podcast isn’t for you, try mentioning some quirks that will help others decide to watch or not. Your over sensitivity to ideas that aren’t limited to your tiny box are unimportant.

We were three FICTIONAL
...characters in the most propaganda-rich serial ever created this side of the covid regime. Man, it is CRINGE!!!I already wrote a review but forgot to mention that We Were 3 Melodramatic Morons is a fiction piece, which is never explicitly stated and, even though it’s kinda obvious that it’s low-brow literature, some people won’t be wise to that.

You set a murderer free
He had motive, no alibi, and wrote that he was gonna kill her. His friend led police to the body. His phone records put him there. 20 years later, not finding his DNA on her dress shoes (that were in her car) means NOTHING. The woman who brought this story to Sarah Koenig is Adnan’s friend. Of course she thinks he’s innocent. A prosecutor, judge, and jury found this monster guilty. Don’t you think they probably know more than all of us do about the case? I feel bad for the family of the victim.

Good Stuff
Serial is great, and anyone who’s crying about it being “leftist propaganda” needs to take several seats. If you can’t listen like you have some sense, then maybe this podcast isn’t for you.

Season Three
Listened to Season One a few years ago and thought maybe I’d enjoy Season Three, I was very wrong. What was originally a true crime podcast has turned into leftist propaganda aimed at trashing the police. She claims to be so amazing for getting the opinion of someone who calls himself a conservative and then she doesn’t even air what he said and calls him a racist more than once. Journalism is about providing the facts and letting the audience make up their own opinions, not providing your own opinions and telling the audience what to think. How disappointing.
