  • CIA stories.

    I enjoyed this series with the CIA stories very much, as it filled in gaps in history. Is it unfolded in my lifetime? It was like the missing pieces of a jigsaw puzzle coming together with a whole story. I give credit to the initiative and the method of which the stories are relayed and are very entertaining

  • Immersive stories but one critique

    The stories are undoubtedly fantastic and varied so there’s something for everyone to enjoy. However! I don’t understand why they don’t make it into seasons if they’re doing series episodes. It silly to have to scroll through all the episodes rather than selecting a season.
