I’ve been searching for a Podcast about the Sherman murders for quite a while now, and was excited when I stumbled across another podcast on this topic, but was pretty underwhelmed. Then I found this one and immediately binged the entire season. Just my opinion, but this one is hands-down far better than the first one I listened to. Well researched, informative, easy to follow and honestly covered far more than the original podcast I listened to in half the episodes. I’m just sad that it’s over.

I was finding this interesting until the narrator, speaking about Gabby Petito, called her “what’s her name from last year” when discussing online sleuthing. How incredibly disrespectful to her loved ones and memory. At least have the decency to edit a line like that. Complete lack of compassion for people who are victims of crime.

It's an OK podcast. The sound levels are kind of off, so when the host is talking, it's very quiet, and when anybody else is talking, it's pretty loud. Continuously having to adjust the volume. Also, the whole second episode is the son just droning on and on. You could basically skip that episode, and be fine.

Part of the reason I listened to this was because of the title. I wanted to hear about “terribly kind, wonderful“ people. I’m baffled as to why they use those words. By the reporter’s telling, the Shermans were petty, nasty, mean people who left an enormous amount of pain in their wakes. I was also quite baffled by a scene in one episode in which the reporter claims that a source directly threatens the lives of people, but what she plays contains no threat at all. I listened to it twice, searching for it. Very odd podcast, disappointing.

There is some original reporting in this podcast - for example, the interviews with Winter, the ex pharma spy - but otherwise, this is largely a retread of what has come before it and does not offer any kind of different or new flavor than what has already been put out into the market place. The tone was completely off for me - at times, it adhered to the natural darkness within this saga, which was welcome, while at others it was a happy go lucky community story. I argue this deserving of a Jo Nesbo type story with a reporter in the rain and dark alleyways tracking down *new* leads and acquiring inside information. The author only acquires very few pieces of new information, so sadly, I didn’t see a reason for this to exist. I applaud the effort but this did not have the execution it needed to have to achieve an exceptional rating.
