A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.
The podcast has some interesting and entertaining analyses regarding plot. However, the hosts attempt to discuss the historical context of the show and they are quite ignorant regarding 1980's Russia and the Cold War. If the hosts are uneducated on a subject, that's fine, but then don't discuss it like a bunch of ignoramuses. Stick to discussing the plot.

I really like the hosts and think they each bring a different insight into this show -- which is what I want after I finish an intense hour watching Elizabeth or Philip or Paige struggle with their secrets.
Friendly Ghost Was Taken!? · May 2015
You guys do a great job, and it's clear you really appreciate the show. One comment on Elizabeth almost breaking down in the car after being with Hotel Guy - I'm bringing this back to Paige, and Elizabeth's desire to induct her into spy life. Elizabeth is VERY loyal to her country to a fault, but I don't think she looked at the full ramifications of having her daughter follow in her footsteps - you know, like sleeping with MANY strangers and then (probably) killing them. I dont't care how loyal you are, when it comes to your own daughter doing these things ... well, that's a sobering thought.
Keep up the good work!

I listen to many AfterBuzz podcasts for TV shows I watch, and have enjoyed the podcasts for the first 2 seasons. This one is, however, dreadful. Not only do the hosts lack knowledge about the events that took place during this time period, they also fail to recall events in the series itself. That we should expect them to is farfetched, they claim. After all, they weren’t born when these events happened in the real world and, more important, they are volunteers. What’s worse, they don’t even sound excited about the show. I suggest AfterBuzz find some adults to do the podcasting.
