  • Good

    The content is interesting and the podcast overall is good, but the reporter leans so heavily into clunky metaphors that it becomes distracting.

  • Deadly Mirage

    Jonathan & Sabrina were cold as ice. Her narcissism surpassed her humanity & intelligence. Unreal. Feigning ignorance, playing victim. Thank God for phone surveillance, shallow transparent testimony & friends’ with strong convictions. God bless & protect their families 🙏🙏❤️

    This was a really interesting case, told very well alongside the interviews with people involved. It was clear and the narrative was so good.

  • Dragged out and repetitive

    I always enjoy the Dateline specials but this honestly could have just been a regular weekly episode. So many things are repeated from episode to episode.
