  • I am obsessed with this podcast!

    Pretty picky when it comes to true crime podcast. I have like 10 on rotation and this is my go to lately. I like that it doesn't always end in someone dying, making it much different from the true crime podcast I listen to regularly. I wasn't sure how I felt about the voiceovers listening to the first episode but now I actually really enjoy it.

  • The reenactment is so disturbing

    I usually can handle reenactment but this one is on another level, who wants to hear young girls or women screeching for a whole minute? This show has this kind of reenactment almost every freaking episode. Just horrible.

  • Reenactments feel voyeuristic

    The reenactments are the express reason why I feel like true crime is so voyeuristic. Will not be listening to any more episodes.
