  • Too Negative.

    I used to really enjoy this show. Even when the host wasn’t a fan of something, they were constructive with their criticism. Now they openly spew hate and gleefully degrade the material their entire show is about.

    I know not all the stories will be loved, but I don’t see the need for such outright hatred and ramblings of insults.

    Be kind. Find a better way to voice your truth, and think about the people your words are reaching.
