  • Victim shaming

    The reviews are harsh on Desire. Someone does not have to be chained up to not be able to leave. The fear she put into that girl. The brainwashing. The psychological torment. Religious torment.

  • Wish there were more details

    This podcast was very interesting but I was left wanting more… I don’t understand how Desiree was held prisoner and could not escape? If she was really held against her will and forced to do these things it was not explained very well?

  • Season 2 advert

    Why the ad of season 2 is so sleazy, patronising and misogynistic? The salivating disgusting male voice describing ‘Kat’ in derogatory way calling her gorgeous makes me feel sick. Disgusting behaviour. It really doesn’t make me want to listen to it. Disgusting man.

  • Not great

    Desiree want a child and seemed to be free to leave. Kat didn’t lock her up. She made her own choices. Kat is clearly unwell but Desiree is an adult that made her own choices decisions
