So much fun to listen to!

First of all let me just say I totally thoroughly enjoyed this series and Jon Hamm absolutely made it! I recommended it to my wife and to several family members who have never had Audible but now they probably will! I at the Master level in audible and I will tell you this is one has definitely proven to be one of my favorites …especially this series with John freaking Hamm!!
So good …so much fun!
Which by the way is exactly what the stories are for!

Can’t wait to hear more

A little slow at the start but Jon Hamm takes over and it takes off. Other actors are great as well. Terrific music too.

Atmospheric Fun

This is a wonderful production! History + Film Noir ambience. It reminds me a little of L.A. Confidential. The sound of a classic radio drama is so much fun!

Decent but not great

Was a little disappointed but some good stuff. I wouldn’t recommend it unless you are a huge John Hamm fan.

Toooo boring

Took two tries to get through 1st episode, but would be fine if you are looking for something to put you to sleep 😴 To bad to because I usually love the performers.
