  • Repetitive, dull

    The host says, “Oh,my God! “ every other sentence! It’s as if she’s making up for lack of content by repeating and exclaiming the same dull cliches. Hard on the ears.

  • Love the show!

    You so an AMAZING job of retelling these victims cases! And by the way I LOVE your accent! This is for the previous one star review saying that they hated your accent. If you ever are thinking that you can’t do this anymore just think of all of the peoples cases that would, if not for you, never be out!❤️

  • I love Ky and how she goes on a rant about a case that touches her. She never rants without a reason, there's always a good reason and we should all be angry about all the wrongfulness in the world she's telling us.
