    Incredible!
    One of the best podcasts I’ve ever listened to. What a fantastic story, beautifully presented and the narration and interviews are top notch.
  • Not Normal Audiochuck
    Fantastic
    I stumbled upon this podcast on the top charts for true crime while looking for a new listen. I started with season 10, the story telling is fantastic and really draws you in to the story. Finished this season in a day. Looking forward to hearing the other seasons.

    I remember this story
    Just started this podcast. I remember watching a forensic files episode about this years ago. I will update when I’m done listening.

    Binge worthy. Finished in one day 🤣

    Great podcast
    This season finding moms killer
  • @Pugslove
    This hits home for me
    This hits home for me because I remember this like it was yesterday because I live in a little town near Mansfield and I remember this happening clear as day. It was a big deal here in our area because around here you don’t see murders that big happen. And I absolutely adore Collier because he was a hero to me because who at the age of 12 would have. Put their parent in jail and he did just that and I remember him on that stand and how amazingly strong he is so thank you for putting out the story.

    Good Story But
    You have to revisit the huge pieces of his life that were left out with his adoptive parents and sister. I thought I skipped an episode.
  • Rita_Marie
    Missing a huge part
    Just finished Finding Mommy’s killer. I loved the story but, it’s as if an entire episode was missing. You let us get to know Collier, become so invested, and then skip such major parts of his life. You talk to the very cold adoptive parents briefly, and never tell us anything else about how he grew up. Does he still have a relationship with them? Did he rejoin Lt. Dave’s family? Do he and his sister communicate? How was the rest of his childhood? When did he leave Ohio? How was his early adulthood ?You can’t leave us hanging on subjects you built up upon. I would’ve loved it more if we didn’t skip from cold adoptive parents to a 47 year old. That’s crazy.

    Investigator?
    For an investigative reporter, he really seems to not be able to see the nose in front of his face. If you’re trying to kill someone, you don’t shoot them with a gun in a bag, through a car seat. There’s no way you would be able to guaranteed that’s gonna kill someone. The woman claims to be Diane’s friend is all about the attention from the very beginning. Mr. Billy Corey, whatever. I mean it sounds like he wants to have the man’s child rather than actually investigative report. Why is anything he thinks or says given any value? A better podcast would be how this guy got railroaded by the people he thought were his friends.

    Excellent
    Keeps me wanting more- simply love it!
  • Bananas for sale
    Needed work
    Did not finish—details would be referred to at the very beginning of the episode that weren’t covered until the end of it, and not in a suspenseful way. A good example is when they’re talking about the memorial service at the start of I think ep 3, and someone I wasn’t familiar with (Grover I think? He wasn’t actually introduced until later in the episode, so there was no context for who this was) said that Tex asked him to recant comments he relayed to the press. The relationship between the two and even the circumstances of the press comments weren’t established until the end of the episode. Did not set it up for digestibility as a listener. Similar issues led to me giving up on this. Two stars because the “ingredients” were there, they just didn’t put them together so the listener actually understood them.
  • Pumpilove
    Absorbing
    I’m near the end of season eight and I really enjoy it. I don’t understand the nasty comments about the narrator, who I find very easy to listen to, and who has a great cadence. His personal knowledge of the actors enhances the narrative and I’m not at all put off by it; quite the opposite.
  • L. R. D. 2
    Couldn’t get through the first 10 mins..
    Why so much detail about things that don’t matter, has to stop listening
  • AM217
    Should only be 3 episodes
    Deadly Fortune - a journalist who is too close to the case to present an objective podcast. A cast of friends who are far too involved and where their gossip and conspiracies are presented as fact. A drawn out story that severely needs editing down to 3-4 episodes. I cannot believe how many episodes rehash the same points.
  • Nina in the ATL
    Interesting podcast
    The story is quite interesting and keeps me coming back for more. I don’t like the narrator’s delivery though. His delivery is like a tabloid read aloud. But I do enjoy the story.
  • RedCharl
    Skip Season 9
    Definitely needed an editor. My biggest takeaway is a distaste for the narrator, who approaches true crime with the intonation of Don Knotts and couldn’t stop absolutely *marveling* at how rich, well heeled and well connected he and his friend group are.
  • A. Blake
    Biased presentation
    Host condescending presentation of anything supporting the defendant and obvious bias toward a guilty verdict make it difficult to form any informed opinion on the subject. Dissipionting listen. :(
  • Elbybara
    Another case of court corruption
    I found the Deadly Fortune series valuable because it introduced me to a case where the Georgia Supreme Court overturned a wealthy white man’s conviction while ignoring plenty of other unjust convictions. (Not that we need further evidence of these kinds of shenanigans in this country.) While several reviews here mention the host, I don’t think it’s fair to criticize someone’s accent. I do think it’s fair to criticize someone’s condescension: It was infuriating listening to Tex’s attorney speak on the podcast and speak to the jury. I doubt he did his client any favors. I found him to be incredibly patronizing.

    Deadly Fortune…
    What a mess! I have never been more confused during the first episode of a podcast ever. It is ALL over the place. No basic synopsis or setup to what we are listening to, we are just immediately thrown into a rambling monologue of some random woman we later find out was right there during the shooting. But good lord, we ping pong around all over the place from the narrator being on top of a building at a failed political career, to being sort of introduced to about 20 people in a friend group, to a hellacious song by a cowboy? Like what is going on?
  • HollandH1975
    Meh
    Season 9 was meh. I’ll try another season- this one had such an annoying narrator, like a literal caricature of a southern redneck, annoying intonations and all. The story was longer than it needed to be a
  • Nick Wintergreen 1989
    Surprisingly Unlikeable
    I usually enjoy all of The Binge’s monthly podcasts enough to finish them, but this was the exception. The victim isn’t really developed into a real person for the audience, and the suspect is painted as a shallow bigot without really exploring who he is either. The rich victim is said to have the same values as her husband/killer…who is continually quoted as being a pretty gross guy. It was just impossible to really care about such a preventable tragedy where literally everyone involved is complicit to an extent.

    Rewind
    Had to go back several times to try and understand if I missed something? Nope. Just terrible editing and who knows what else. I couldn't get past episode 1. Delete from library.
  • MostUniqueNickname
    Edit Better
    The editing is terrible. An already slow-moving narrative is even worse when there are 10-second silent gaps interspersed in the interviews. And the audio levels of the ads way unbalanced with the rest of the show. Had to stop listening.
  • tinz27
    Repetitive and Drawn Out
    It’s an interesting story but there is very little new information, just the same thing over and over from different people. Could have been one episode rather than a whole season.
  • ALKM1
    Interesting
    I feel like this is an interesting story even if the podcast jumps around at times. But I am surprised this even went to trial much less that he was convicted.
  • EthAlRyMom
    Did he really just say that?
    Ghetto homicides!? Not knowing how to deal with a crime because it came from “upper crust” of society!? Uhhh and just saying it like it’s normal acceptable conversation. Then y’all want to say you’re not racist. The host should have addressed that commentary. Not countering back means you agree.
  • E4gr
    Self-promotion
    This primary purpose of this podcast appears to be to offer the host an opportunity to name drop and make sure we all know how important he is in Atlanta society, punctuated with some very cringe interviews (e.g. the cop who simply couldn’t believe that a white lawyer intentionally shot his wife because his department usually investigates “ghetto murder”)
  • Chubbyathlete
    Deadly Fortune
    Not investigated well. This podcast jumps all over the place with nothing more than speculation compared to facts. Podcast would’ve been better with more input from the victims of the scams but maybe they didn’t want to come forward?
  • Karen Marriner
    Where is Episode 5?
    Ep 5 is just a repeat of Eps 1&2. Missing the episode about the trial.
  • IanBird
    Good podcast but…
    Very interesting story. Luckily, much of the content comes from interviews because the host sounds like Mr. Haney from Green Acres.
  • SteevenO
    Episode 5 Still Not Fixed
    So…. No one gonna fix Episode 5? Anyone? It’s still Episode 1. I keep coming back to try and finish this series, but it still isn’t fixed. Not good.

    Shady tactics
    Just state up front that a paid subscription is needed to listen beyond episode 3. Don’t trick ppl into thinking they can listen without paying. I wasted my time on this. I wouldn’t consider paying after this tactic

    What a mess of a podcast, still ads? Paid for no ads!
    Major issues with this podcast. The audio for episode 5 was episode 1. The description says this was corrected. It wasn't. Ads throughout every episode. We paid for these pods and part of the deal is "no ads". What's the deal Binge?! There was something about the pod that made what should be a very compelling story almost totally uninteresting. It might be the narrator or the editing. I normally enjoy podcasts where the narrator/host has a close proximity to the story in real life. He didn't sound like someone who knew the parties affected by the events but discussed being a closer friend to the victim. Unfortunately, maybe it's the tenor of his voice that's the bigger issue. He would be better suited to hosting non-true crime podcasts. He sounds cartoony or overly animated, not super serious or affected by the incident discussed. Not that he wasn't affected, it just didn't match the serious nature of the story. He kind of sounds like Zach Galifianakis.
  • GregGTX
    Interesting
    Nice to follow and listen. I have heard no evidence that he did it on purpose. Totally on the side of his defense attorneys.

    Deadly Fortune: All Over The Place
    I agree with another reviewer who said that this series was all over the place. I didn’t need the episodes to go along in a perfectly linear fashion, but there was really no connective tissue tying subjects together that took place in different places in time.
  • pod chap
    Deadly Fortune
    What a story. A marriage twisted in every way.
  • Badash96
    Deadly Fortune is AMAZING
    I loved deadly fortune. Great story and very interesting interviewees. I see some other reviews here saying they only listened for a few minutes and commenting on the hosts voice; I don’t think it’s bad at all. Plus, who the heck judges someone’s voice lol. Overall great story! Glad I’ve subscribed!
  • Miami_Lover
    WOW, WOW, WOW!!!
    Deadly Fortune is an absolute must-listen for true crime fans who crave gripping storytelling and jaw-dropping twists. The show dives deep into the lives of Tex and Diane McIver, an Atlanta power couple whose glittering facade hid a dark and tragic tale. With its perfect mix of Southern charm, courtroom drama, and shocking revelations, this podcast keeps you hooked from the first episode to the last. The hosts expertly unravel the layers of Tex and Diane's seemingly storybook marriage—his role as a cowboy lawyer and kingmaker, her as a magnetic and ambitious executive—leading to the shocking night that turned their world upside down. The questions of love, betrayal, and greed linger long after you finish listening, especially as Tex's potential inheritance of Diane’s fortune adds a chilling new dimension to the tragedy. If you’re fascinated by the intersection of wealth, power, and crime, Deadly Fortune is your next binge. It’s compelling, thought-provoking, and impossible to forget. Highly recommend!

    GREAT binge listen
    Once again, The Binge delivers. Loved Deadly Fortune - exactly what you want from a true crime show

    Cant listen
  • ATLmama
    S9 is a mess
    I really want to listen to this season, and as an ATL local, I’m interested in the subject. But lord have mercy, Deadly Fortune badly needed some editing before publication. The story jumps around, is poorly setup, poorly edited, and Dale Cardwell is absolutely unbearable to listen to. His voice is so grating that I cannot even concentrate on the words he says. High and squeaky, and far too animated for the subject matter. Hard to believe he was a television reporter. It’s a shame because the story has a lot of potential under a better storyteller, and witness interviews are exceptionally good.

    Deadly Fortune
    Narrators voice is cringe. I remember when this happened and wanted to hear the podcast. While I liked the narrators personal take I can’t help but think he is slimy to benefit monetarily from his friends’ murder and murder conviction.
  • Greninja fan
    Tired of the narrators
    The narrators voice sounds like a cartoon character. Can we just get a normal narration for once instead of crazy over exaggeration?
  • Liv1667
    Deadly fortune
    I can’t even make it through the first episode of Deadly fortune. It bounces all over the place. The narrator jumps in with a random story that has nothing to do with the actual story. I kept thinking it was an extensive advertisement. The Narrator’s voice is quite obnoxious.

    All kinds of ridiculous
