Reviews

4.7 out of 5 stars from 516.7k ratings
  • Long time fan getting burnt out

    I’ve always loved the show, but as other reviews have mentioned, there are a number of little things contributing to the degradation of it. First, the back and forth between Britt and Ashley has gotten a bit old. Britt just interjects with little unnecessary comments that can honestly distract from the narrative sometimes. Second, GIVE US A SOLVED CASE. It’s frustrating to listen for an hour and be left head scratching. I get that’s the nature of true crime but cmon.

  • Elizabeth Smart Episode

    What can I say, when someone experiences what she has and then to be such an advocate, for others who also have had similar experiences, and speak so eloquently, it truly has left me speechless! Elizabeth you are a shining light , be proud of who you have become !!!
