A comedy/mystery true crime parody in which each season is a based off a Shakespeare play; season 1 is Romeo and Juliet while season 2 is Hamlet. Protagonists Bea and Brenda are inspired by Beatrice and Benedict from Much Ado About Nothing in how they bicker and a bit in their past conflict over reputation. The way the story beats are translated make for interesting adaptational changes; for example, in season 2, Hamlet's monologues become songs sung at open mic (the Hamlet adaptation is excellent and season 2 episode 10 is the best episode of the show, though due to music rights issues, they made the confusing decision to kill the pacing by having the penultimate episode of the season be one of the showrunners explaining what happened interspersed with clips rather than releasing the episode sans music for the time being). As the first season develops, its theme becomes the morality of true crime. Season 2 also delves into the consequences of true crime reporting, as well as unreliable perspectives, mental health, and the inability to let go of the past. The show also includes some commentary on the power of big business. The comedic tone shifts sharply to seriousness in season 1 episode 11 (though season 2 is still a comedy with serious points). The protagonists are complex and at times unlikable as their determination to discover the truth no matter the cost has human consequences. The first season's conceit is that everything you hear is the in-universe podcast, while the second season does away with a bit of that format; this would likely work better if the whole thing was about the behind the scenes of the in-universe podcast, since it would make more sense to be listening to the extraneous details. The banter is entertaining as are some of the meta hijinks, though those jokes can go on for too long. The acting for the main characters are good, and the sound quality is often fine, but sometimes the volume level varies.
