The show says "There's ACTUAL EVIL in a human form that is not human, not just some killer or rapist" or smth, and by "Evil" it means a woman with some supernatural powers who kills men who sexually harass her. Like the 2 men in the beginning who followed her home from transport, in the dark, after she told them to leave her alone multiple times (which is an actual, real life terrifying horror story far scarier than any made up supernatural murderer) - their intentions were clear enough.

This podcast is so fun! Grant’s voice is appealing to listen to and the writing and creativity is great! The stories are mysterious and catchy. Once each episode is done I jump right to the next. Really hoping there is a season 2. Please give this podcast a listen, it does not disappoint!

This podcast is so fun! Treatment yourself to a little fun and give it a listen!
Apple Podcasts5Eli99998United States8 months ago One needs to appreciate the love that was put into all of this. Great acting, writing and production with a love for radio and all things creepy. I will keep listening, but hope for season 2 to be a bit more decisive in its tone. This is my issue: The show can't decide what it wants to be. To try to be funny AND creepy AND some nostalgia gig (not just some pop culture references please) needs to be balanced out properly. But is it necessary? I'd like it to be on the darker side of things.
