Serial
Adnan Sayed was convicted in 2000 of kidnapping and murdering his former girlfriend Hae Min Lee. This is the story of how it happened, and what came next.
The knotty but triumphant role true crime played in the case of Adnan Syed, subject of the 2014 podcast Serial.
The deep dive into the case Serial made famous tries to be nuanced and sensitive, but can’t get past its pro-Syed bias.
So far, the show’s new season is a knockout.
Serial’s third season isn’t (just) about a murder, and that’s a good thing.
An appellate court found Syed had successfully argued he had inadequate counsel during his 1999 murder trial.
The latest project from the Serial team is a brilliant, complex, and incredibly invasive deep dive into one man’s life.
All seven episodes of the highly anticipated podcast are out today — but don’t expect a true crime narrative.
The true-crime story is improved by knowing who committed the crime at its center.
And non-fans who are just interested in a pretty famous incident in US politics and foreign policy.
This is not a drill: Serial has returned!
The podcast turned out to be a contemplation on the nature of the truth — but a surprisingly effective and moving one.
Either you haven’t heard of the true-crime podcast, or you’re obsessed with it. There’s little in between.
