  • Season 5 is too long

    I liked the story, but the pacing was awful. By episode two it was obvious what the husband did, just because of how dragged out it was. This didn’t need a full season and honestly felt unfair to the person the story is about. I only finished it to get it off my feed.

  • This is bad…

    Nothing will be as good as Season 1. The quality of the storytelling is awful and does not do justice to the subjects. The first season really showed heart and soul. Now it just feels like they’re trying to make a quick buck.

    I couldn’t agree more with a recent review that I read. The stories are wonderful. The content is great. The Host did a good job in the beginning, but in season five Saskias story should easily be one to two episodes. I really liked how earlier on each story got their own episode with an exception here and there when it made sense. The first three shows in season five are so redundant OR build up for the first 30 minutes and you only get new information in the last 8 to 10 MIN and that is comple... more

    Great stories, important they’re shared however, it is strung out; Sentences are

    Repeated by the narrator three four times & rolled over which isn’t necessary. Particularly in relation to extremely traumatic events. Please tone it down.
