  • Bad noise/music bed

    Totally great content completely ruined by over production with such bad fake "music" and clunky plinky amateurish sound effects throughout. Cheapens the story telling like a dirty kitchen apron over a haute couture gown. Sad. Can't listen.

  • No In Depth Analysis or Investigation

    Season 1 Summary: Prominent Artist, accused of killing his wife, is acquitted because…sexism. Host thinks he did it. No proof, evidence or investigation is provided.

    Also, art curators are “so important and powerful”

    Don’t waste your time.
