Brooke is kinda awful. Especially when she starts moralizing. I don’t need a kid asking me what questions I should be asking myself. Where is Bill Kurtis
Are the interviews spliced? It sounds like TikTok influencer posts where the words a smashed together and the syllables are slurred.
I didn’t make 10 minutes into the episodes and I had to bail. Terrible.
Dear God. How offensive can you be? In the episode about Lauria Bible and Ashley Freeman, the host didn’t pronounce Lauria’s name correctly the entire time. So frustrating. Do your MINIMAL homework before presenting a case, including how to say the victim’s name. Zero credibility.
How hard is it to pronounce the name Laura? The host pronounced it “Lor-ria” the entire episode when the victim’s mother clearly says Laura. Of all the names to mispronounce, the victim’s is the one name people should get right.
The early episodes are soo bad thr host is so out of college vibes and the fact that the ads are frequently and interrupt major plot lines, is infuriating!
