Well Done!

Riveting, in-depth analysis of an icon without judgment. Exactly how it should be. They covered the good, the bad and the ugly with a focus on how MJ fought for control over his life and art and the impact it had over both his success and demise. It was a fascinating dissection of the man vs. the myth. I truly appreciated how much care the narrators took in remaining unbiased while giving more than two sides of the story. It definitely made me think twice about my own opinions. I'd like to believe that was their intent. Looking forward to their next collaboration.

Is it meant to sound like spontaneous conversation

Seems like it's meant to sound like spontaneous conversation, but it sounds totally scripted/awkward to my ears.

Moving

I was absolutely captured by this from the first episode. I am a Michael Jackson fan, but like many others had to find my way through the noise to decide what I believed was the truth. This podcast is very well balanced.

Nice Balance of Art and Artist

Refreshing to hear the good, the bad, and the ugly. I thought I had heard it all but there are some surprises in here. Really enjoyable listen. Would even listen again.

Way to stay non biased

I really didn’t want to hear this story. I was a big fan and a kid when he died. Never wanted to it to be true. Y’all showed a great light on it without pushing anything

Excellent work

I didn’t think I would enjoy another show about Michael Jackson. But this is really a well researched and investigated show. A Very informative and thoughtful show. Really enjoyed it!

thoughtful and powerful examination

The series is thoughtful and powerful. This is journalism at its finest. They don't pretend not to have a point of view or bias or emotional reaction to any of it, but instead use their own perspectives and histories to prompt themselves to ask more personal and profound questions. The result is reporting that feels both thoroughly researched and personally affecting.

well done

it's a very well done documentary, apparently this review requires 15 words to complete. I hate capitalism.

Pop historian & conspiracy susceptible VJ team up

Some good segments throughout but in the end the narrative frays at the seams under the weight of the personal baggage of the two podcasters. As one example (from someone old enough to know): Nobody at the time thought the insult "Wacko Jacko" had anything simian about it and the suggestion is risible. The podcaster who immediately affirmed this is doing the linguistic equivalent of those people who see a bunch of numbers and assign a "conspiranoia" style connection between them. It tells you more about the bias and naivete of these two more than any other example; but it is by no means a singular illustration. Such leaps of foolishness appear throughout. Go ahead and listen but be skeptical. They are shaping a narrative shakily upon a weak foundation and beneath a leaky, ideologically burdened roof. It is certainly packaged well but scrape away this veneer of authority and you find a cheap historical presentism.
