So fun

Revisado: 03-23-25

Plot meanders a bit but the performances are excellent and the script is actually very funny. Loved it.

So much better than I expected

Revisado: 01-17-25

Writing and performances are great — the tone is perfect and never tries too hard for laughs or relevance. Loved it.

Stay if you like mess, avoid if you want message

Repetitive and utterly lacking in reflection, personal responsibility, gratitude or remorse. While there can (and should) be wide allowance given for people to diagnose what leads them to addiction and what path they’d like to pursue out of it — if that’s what they want — nothing about this version feels very consistent, useful or self-aware.

Shockingly amateur

Revisado: 10-20-23

HOW did someone who edits books for a living manage to submit something this implausible and cliché? What little dialogue there is is stilted, and characters’ actions and motives are in constant opposition with a) real-life behavior and b) everything we have been led to believe about them. There’s ZERO indication that Jackson bothered to research or develop this story beyond the most shallow observations about the people and places in it and the result is characters who are cartoonishly self-sabotaging and daytime soap-level irrational. There were many times I wanted to give up.

Excellent as always

Revisado: 08-03-23

Leon Neyfakh always manages to contextualize historical events in a way that is balanced and relevant. This is the standard to which all audio journalism should be held — provocative, insightful and required listening.

Unbelievably bad journalism

Revisado: 06-11-23

Instead of doing the actual work of understanding the major issues in this story — the darkness of addiction, the susceptibility of those harmed by trauma to not just chemical dependency but to exploitation by other addicts and/or those who prey on them and a host of other issues — Strudwick presents all of his conjecture as fact or relies exclusively the painful recollections of the victims’ friends where he should have consulted experts. There is a good story here, but this telling falls to oversimplification, sensationalism and the reporter’s clear investment in affirming his thesis over building (or at least supporting) it with evidence.

What did I just listen to

Revisado: 09-17-22

Highly problematic. Not based on any understanding or respect for actual women. Also: do people really put cheese on salad?

Extremely regressive

Revisado: 09-16-22

But somehow thinks it’s feminist? This plot is based on the idea that men who seem like jerks aren’t really jerks, men save women and women who just need the right man to change their mind and adjust their attitude. No bueno.
