A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.
I have high expectations for anything that Lucy Worsley puts out, she’s absolutely fantastic. Love the presentation style and their perspectives. The only thing that holds me back from actually loving the show is that it’s called Lady Killers and they focus more on swindlers or other female criminals.
I absolutely love this show except for the Alice Mitchell episode, which I couldn’t even finish. Please, please stick to having historians, forensic experts, and criminal attorneys etc. on. I was so disappointed that for an episode about a lesbian couple that you chose an activist. Her commentary was a complete opinion piece and strayed from your usual formula. She sounded unprofessional, and this seemed more like a political piece than an episode of Lady Killers.
Lucy Worsley delivering amazing history as always. I really hope she decides to do another series. She humanizes her subjects without glorifying them. Great show.
I mean feminist revision in a very positive way. In the first episode ‘Florence Bravo’, cross examination focuses on the accused’s ‘sexual promiscuity’. The legal expert notes that there are laws, in the United Kingdom, preventing this line of questioning. Horrifically, no such law exists in the United States. Abuse and rape victims are often revictimized in in this way during cross examination. I look forward to future episodes.
