Satisfies my true crime urge but adds just enough depth to well known stories. TC is escapism for many so too much analysis risks losing the appeal of getting out of my head. The narrator’s voice is pleasant also. Some stories are interesting but I can’t get past the narration. This one works.
Can you eliminate the weird background sounds? They distract from your storytelling
Not once did you call the criminal what he actually is. A criminal. This deep state propaganda piece is about showing compassion to illegal criminals who murder people! Never showing compassion to the victims. It is the most sickening and disgusting thing in recent history. That we call, criminals victims, and victims criminals. Listen to it for yourself. We are at war with organizations like this. We will not lose. That’s why they’re so afraid.
Celisia is an excellent storyteller and raises up the victims but also gives background and understanding to perpetrators, as needed. Her series on Keith Lamar was particularly good - being able to hear his story in his own voice was powerful.
Love this show. Very well done and love the new format.
