4.3 out of 5 stars from 468 ratings
  • Great Story

    Great investigation and explaining of who people are. The pauses are the only reason I can’t give it 5 stars. I keep thinking something was wrong on my end.

  • Production Issues

    The story is well told and interesting but some production problems make it annoying. There are long pauses that make me stop what I’m doing to figure out why it just stopped playing, only to have it play again after a weird period of silence. Second, it started playing at episode 6 which took me a few minutes to figure out, and now it wants to play episode 6 or episode 1 after every episode. It won’t just play episodes in the right order. Very very annoying.
