S01.E01: One True Mystery

[AnimeMania]

A hard-nosed journalist grudgingly works with a true-crime podcaster on a strange case in a small Irish town where the locals want to bury the past.

Premiere Date: May 9, 2024    Netflix

“True Crime podcasts aren’t journalism, they’re necrophilia.”

I truly hate Dove. She may be written to represent the no-BS journalists but she appears to be self-absorbed, selfish and entirely unlikeable. And too much swearing too.

Gilbert and Emmy aren’t that interesting either.

I cringe every time I hear the running joke - “And people will listen to it?”. It’s just not funny. 🙄

The entire premise of this show is about the power of a good story. After watching only one episode, am not convinced that this show will be able to deliver a good story - not with mediocre acting and unlikeable characters.

Bye Bodkin‼️

I am into it. I love the scenery and the glorious Irish accents. I have been to Ireland and it is a beautiful place. The mystery seems interesting and the cast of characters are fun.

I liked that Sgt Power was pretending to drink too much to get out of talking to the podcasters. I couldn't imagine they could drink with him and still be standing. I have a pub story from Sligo that would be great if i just could remember all of it...

I find it funny, I love a dry humor.

Seems like something going on in the town and instead of just giving the podcasters some stories to take home, they are raising more suspicions.  Too bad for them a real investigator tagged along.
