Customer Reviews
Absolutely fantastic
My partner told me about Serial and I’m usually just a true crime listener but this was absolutely fantastic. Sara is so great to listen to, you really feel everything she feels with her storytelling and the emotion behind her stories. She lays everything out for you so well and I have loved every single season. Thank you Sara and the Serial team! A must listen.

Who needs televised documentaries when we have Serial 👏
I first downloaded this cast a few years ago and have just revisited it, not knowing if I’d ever reviewed it. Serial and it’s topics are so extremely well examined through the the eyes of not only the murky “evidence” but also the human condition of (in)decisiveness, confusion, epiphanies and emotion. You will feel right next to Sarah and her crew all through way through sharing this same experience - in ALL their reporting. The first cast in the case of Adnan Syed will capture you immediately. His case, I’ve continued to follow it throughout the years. I’m finally glad to see that after the 2019 disappointment of Syed’s appeal being overturned, that the fight still goes on with new DNA testing this year ✊🏼
Unbiased perfection!!
Came on over as recommended from Undisclosed… and I’m so glad I did!! The way Sarah unravels these stories is so digestible and she keeps me hooked. Amazing stuff!!
