  • Not good

    This isn’t deeply researched - no new information. Old cases you can find on Wiki, with inaccuracies about the cities. The writing is filled with cliches. I wondered if it was half written by AI.

  • Um no not really

    I’ve been watching the old episodes on Tubi and I really like the narrator. He makes the show. This isn’t it. It’s the exact same words but not as interesting. 95-05 best episodes. I’m from SC and my grandmother graduated from newberry college, I’ve heard this story all my life. But OMG I didn’t know we sounded like that

  • So many old cases

    Just listened to the tragic killing of a Canadian girl in Bermuda. If I haven’t heard this 10-year old case a thousand times, I haven’t heard it at all. City Confidential should be renamed City Recycling, because they can’t do an original story.
