Really enjoyed the first series, thought that it faded out a bit towards the end as they seemed to drag it out a bit going over the same material.

Not sure how good a second series is going to be, feel like it will be a bit more forced this time around especially given how different/new it was first time.

Don't mean to derail the season 2 discussion but anyone who has listened to the (admittedly one sided) Undisclosed Podcast cannot fail to think that it is only a matter of time to Adnan is released. It may be a retrial or a quashed conviction but it's incredible really that he ever was convicted given the lack of evidence pointing to him.

I still fail to comprehend how Jay Wild wasnt convicted for accessory to the fact. In the UK, he'd have served significant time for preventing the course of justice.

Oh cool, looking forwards to this.

I agree with Bilo, it faded in the last few episodes.


I'm sorry rinswun, I would have agreed with you until the last couple of episodes. I did a lot of reading on reddit once I completed the series and there were some great breakdowns. However, it's all speculation.

Not finding season 2 as much as a "page turner" as the first. Still gonna listen and I expect it to pick up but I couldn't wait for episodes to be released last year...

I think the fact that Koening doesn't talk directly to Bergdahl also takes something away from the experience.
