United States15 days ago - Great … minus the ads
No problem with ads in general but this show is testing the patience of its audience — 8 minutes of ads to start is ridiculous. If you can skip ahead, great! Still obnoxious to do. Otherwise, very fun show.

Horror fan. I like the show. But 5 to 7 minutes of ads beforehand? Really? Completely beyond the pale.
