United Statesa month ago - Going downhill fast
The Cold Case series is very poor. The formulaic approach is tired and the episode on victim of SA, Esther Cox really quite staggering in its lack of understanding of victims of trauma and somatic symptoms.
Apple Podcasts1GuatamalanWorryPersonUnited Kingdoma month ago - Prefer the original format
I am a big fan of Uncanny, Danny, Evelyn and Ciarán, and can’t wait for a new series however I’m just not feeling it with the new layout. I prefer the experiences spoken by the person who was there. Plus I miss the original theme tune. Trying to stick with it to the end though.
