Production at its best
Very well produced and directed. The acting was very, very good. This podcast is a perfect example of what dramatized audio should aspire to be. Well done folks, your efforts are appreciated.

Fun Leisure Listen
It's a great change of pace if you're listening to podcasts that have heavier subject matter.

Very Entertaining
I enjoyed listening to Second Acts, not something I usually do in Audible. I mean, I usually listen to full length novels or biographies - I’m glad I gave this one a chance. The performances were excellent and I thought the story was good enough to keep me coming back for more!

Predictable
Title of this post says it all. Voice acting was decent though. Wouldn't recommend it.

Cinematically Entertaining For The Imagination!
I loved all the actors' portrayal of their characters and the complexity of the characters too. The sound effects were spot on and really added to the impact of the actors' great work too! They did a great job of transporting the listener to the scenes, often making me forget I wasn't actually watching but rather listening. It was as if I were truly seeing the scenes play out before my eyes as I took in all the content. Great job on all fronts. I hope there is a sequel to the series! 😁

Outstanding story and cast
Interesting story, and a wonderful performance by a very talented cast. Such moving performances by Jon Hamm and Kate Mara; one could almost believe that this was a married couple. I also like the small touches when Jon Hamm‘s character wants to find out the score in a St. Louis Cardinals baseball game over the radio, Or when characters use the telephone, the listener can hear the sound of a electro mechanical rotary dial (To the younger listeners, there was a time when there were no cell phones, no Internet, Or even push buttons dialing). Give this audiobook a listen, you will not be disappointed.

Emotionally inspiring!!
As a USAF veteran I raised my right hand almost 20 yrs ago to fight for our country. When I say for our country I mean for ALL people from ALL countries who want to live free. People who have truth to tell of their stuggles and successes. NOT for the politicians (aka Republicans/democrats) & what they want others to believe. We ALL have the right to tell our truths!!

Bad Language
Lazy language. Cursing took away from the story. I couldn’t make it past 3 minutes.

Perfect title to fit our current Big Lie. So apt.
You got me at Jon Hamm. Ben Mankiewicz intro ditto. Very Well done. Gorgeous noirish Red Scare 1950’s.

Thankfully this book was free. Voice acting was fine but the story was sub par.

Lacking Authenticity
It was a good listen- until I was jarred by a character saying “Copy” as an acknowledgement. In the fifties, it would have been something like “Roger”.
Sailors didn’t get “Deployed”. They had sea duty.
What is a “2 point 9 cube” engine?
Just a couple of examples. Picking nits? Maybe. But it was enough to convince me the production team didn’t care enough to get the details right, so why should I think that weren’t playing it loose and fast elsewhere?
