S6: Only complaints 1) stop placing ads in the middle of the narrators sentence 2) the episodes are short and the series is short, no need for repeating elements over & over like the glasses with masking tape.
S2: this one was way easier to listen and follow. Although I am in shock that the man had a wife the whole time
This is very well down. Horrible what happened to Monic. my thoughts are with her family.
Just listened to the child cancer scam. Thank you for bringing the world to the attention of these of these heartless thugs for raising awareness

Brilliant series. Charlie is clearly very intelligent and received a lot of respect from the victims. The interviewer at the end was very poor though
