  • So crime is a comedy now?

    These two women should not be allowed anywhere near discussing crime or victims for their families. It’s appalling that anybody would tune in into something called a true crime comedy, nothing is funny about murder, and these two are not experts and do not shed any light on any of the cases they cover.

  • Karen and Georgia are my favorite

    Follow the show since day one. These ladies are absolute salt of the Earth. This is real banter with real pauses in a real relationship between the two of them as great friends, and I love to hear their commentary, and I love to hear their talking back-and-forth in the beginning, I love their advice. I love what they stand for. You’re missing out if you’re not listening to my favorite murder.

Further, there doesn’t seem to be much chemistry between K+G any longer, which would be underst... more
