  • Really fun just with small issues!

    This podcast is a really fun listen and it’s nearly a 5/5 for me in a lot of aspects, however, I do feel the need to bring up the one real issue I have with the show’s writing; which is the honestly racist stereotyping and writing of the Haan family.

  • I love shows that make you feel like your going insane

    While i listen to this in the background, i am glad I have the notebooks around to quickly take notes, as this series is a absolutely gorgeous stream of mysteries to detangle.

    Yet i give it five stars, because any episode serves as a good story one could listen to.
