  • No actual facts of the case. Just dramatic narration

    Spends far too much time on dramatic narration and emotional commentary instead of the actual facts of the case.

Instead, I’ve listened to an excessive, repetitive description of a town—peaceful, beautiful, quiet—over and over again, like we’re stuck in a loop of adjectives that don’t add anything meaningful. It feels like filler rather than storytelling.

    When the case finally starts to unfold, the same... more
