Just finished the second season a few minutes ago. I’m a Brit who has lived in the states for the past 13 years. I actively avoid US media. The first season was a tight and well-researched investigation with excellent interviews of key actors in the run-up to Jan 6. The second season is a bit different, casting a wider net. It has some killer interviews too, but the last few episodes start to unravel a little. No spoilers but there is a surprising final episode that ambitiously tries to weave together the multiple theories into one conspiracy theory of everything’.

Even if I disagree with some of the conclusions made, there is no doubt this is a compelling, really well-produced couple of series, and I rarely listen to podcasts at all. A lot of the pleasure is in the journey, making the connections with the presenter, and seeing how disparate events reported in the news cohere into narratives. It’s quite dense, so you can’t be distracted for too long when you listen. And there are links between people within each season and between seasons. So some episodes bear repeated listening to make the most out of it. The resulting book will help with this.

Oh and ignore the one-star review bombing morons who don’t like it because it’s the BBC and not ‘Merica.

Super high production quality, great narrator, and great execution on a topic that is discussed more and more. They do a good job of keeping it interesting even if you’ve heard something like this story before.

Literally every single negative review (except for one three star review from someone with technical difficulties) is from a conservative outraged by the choice of topic. So this show undoubtedly would have a 4.9 or 5 without the negative reviews based on politics.

Any podcast that needs a rabbit hole warning is a good one and this series could force you to take a couple of “sick days” off from work. Great perspectives on the totality of the movement and the breakdown of the major players are chilling at times to say the least. The only complaint I have is that the show topic isn’t fiction.

Really enjoyed the approach. It does feel like the only agenda here is to understand what is happening in America right now. A podcast that can easily be listened to multiple times.

★★☆☆☆

It felt like the announcer was putting together a puzzle with giant pieces by fumbling around in the dark. Not only were the pieces too big to get any kind of nuance, but it seemed like he had a superficial understanding of American society (despite the time he’s spent in it). Further, he treated his comparison between the internet and the printing press as somehow novel, and couldn’t stop talking about how he met the “Q shaman” once but didn’t film the interview (a mistake which also speaks to his clumsiness with American politics in general). Unclear how this podcast deserved the giant platform (and funding) of the BBC when there’s so many talented people & teams out there.

★☆☆☆☆

I’ve voted for both sides. Heard of but didn’t know Q-anon before this. His mocking tone while agreeing with many of the assumptions and cover ups is biased. Also he never once says the real name of the Mormon church correctly which seems either biased again or as though he doesn’t thoroughly research enough to get a very basic and clear fact correct.
