  • Eh

    I can’t get past the second episode. I like the narrator’s voice but the speech pattern is … the whole thing is like one run-on sentence. It gets better in the second episode but the pace is still weird.

    This is one of the best in the genre. I like how the hosts work with families of the victims, and don’t sensationalize. The show brings awareness to disappearances and murders that may not get much attention otherwise.

  • The voice…

    The narration is terrible. It is like she is reading a poem - half whispering, up & down in tone.
