Banfield goes on and on and on about the same topic for days, sometimes weeks. Maybe talk about a couple of cases each episode. On a positive note I find her voice very soothing.
Too much swearing
Her voice and saying the same phrases over and over gets old and boring
Obsessed w the same stories and goes on and on about one obsessively for months
No investigative work, just reporting and judging and swearing and guessing.
Not interesting
Not smart enough to review acts of crime. No where near smart enough.
I thought I was listening to a long shoreman. why can't a story be told without the f bombs.
Ashley is absolutely the most entertaining reporter there is!!! So smart, fiery, and straight to the point!!
