What did you love best about Ep. 5: Steubenville, Part 3: Town on Trial (Gamebreaker)?

Sound design by Derek John was especially well done during this episode; music is of just right tone, as emotional without being maudlin. Many sounds played at key points subtly move the piece along.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Ep. 5: Steubenville, Part 3: Town on Trial (Gamebreaker)?

There were two momentous occasions. One was in the visual of the unmasked man being surrounded by those countering that sort of vendetta; it was vivid and while not entirely unexpected, has a ring of horror to it.

The other was the sorrow in Alexandria Goddard's voice when she speaks about regretting becoming involved in technological underground vigilantism.
These are the considerations we must make when dealing with ancient ills, as rape, in a technocentric society,

Which character – as performed by the narrator – was your favorite?

I appreciate the fact that the "human" behind the stories are vividly featured. Without visual cues, listeners form a visual, likely to be highly accurate.

Any additional comments?

This is important work. It's told compellingly, in interesting layers of story that merge and converge at points where one is almost ready to say "What about ... ?" and is then presented the information to satisfy listener's curiosity.
