This was an excellent podcast. The pace, tension and timing of the episodes made it a real cliffhanger. Now that sufficient time has passed, imagine if that actually did happen in 2017? I'm not surprised that they didn't continue. It may have been a bit "too close to the bone" for the era that started.

Obviously, in May 2020, I am arriving very late to this party but I wanted to say how much I enjoyed this series! I was very disappointed to discover that there is no Season 2! Well written, nicely paced and eerily relevant to our current political climate!

I clean houses and listen to podcasts to stop myself from totally withering from boredom, I've listened to so many podcasts now that it's hard to find new ones that I love but this one totally drew me in from the beginning, I totally binged it in one day and now I need more! There's many podcasts out there that are far from the quality of this one with far more then one season so I really hope they are not going to leave us hanging like this. Please! To save a simple cleaner from going completely bonkers you need to make more seasons! Surely that's not asking for too much. :)

this is brilliant , great story could be a tv series . music and special effects are perfect not too loud not too much gives it the movie feel , and about the best acting I've heard on a podcast in the past 3 years that I've been listening to podcasts. on par with " we're alive " and that's a complement .

Loving this political drama! I'm addicted and telling all my political junkie friends about it! It's a great fantasy for those who'd love to see our federal government change faster.
