In the years since “Serial,” there’s been an explosion of shows trying to recreate its appeal by delving into cold cases, disappearances and mysterious events. Unsolved mysteries can be frustrating, but they also leave more room for speculation and armchair sleuthing than the ones with tidy endings. The feverish response to “Serial” was fueled by the seemingly endless ambiguities and questions surrounding the case, many of which remain unanswered to this day. Seven years ago, “Serial” pushed the format into the mainstream with its gripping reinvestigation of the 1999 murder of Hae Min Lee, a Baltimore high school student, and the questionable conviction of her ex-boyfriend, Adnan Syed. Real-life mysteries are the bread and butter of modern podcasting.
