RATING
This podcast should have been incredible. The premise of an adult reading the series for the first time, making guesses at the plot and experiencing the twists should make for excellent content. Unfortunately the show is let down by a host who refuses to do any research into his criticisms, makes hugely generalized and stereotyped statements about British culture, has a memory like a sieve, makes frequent mistakes both regarding the English language and events that have just happened in the plot and seems to struggle with basic maths. Some episodes are rescued by fantastic guests who guide the hopeless host through the plot and cultural references however for every brilliant guest there is a terrible one. Some guests do so little to correct the insane ramblings of the host that entire episodes, sometimes covering interesting sections of the source material ripe for theories, are impossible to listen to for those that wish to retain their sanity and devolve into constantly repeated topics including bemoaning the lack of diversity in a non-visual medium where very few characters are assigned a race at all, presuming everyone that isn't explicitly stated not to be white must be white while ignoring clear evidence pointing to the ethnicity of one of the few characters to have their skin colour mentioned, tirades about Depp based on what at the time were purely allegations and become tiresome very quickly and fuel the cancel culture fire while attempting to come across as 'woke', or worse tangents about perfectly sound plot points that your average 5 year old can comprehend that bamboozle the host to such a degree that he creates problems that do not exist.
