  • Gentleman

    I love this show, but it bothers me when criminals, especially violent criminals are called gentlemen. Why do police do that? It makes no sense. The criminals you are discussing are not gentlemen and do not deserve that kind of respect. No one ever refers to women who survivors of SA gentlewomen or gentle ladies.

  • CLASSY TRUE CRIME!

    The one and only bad thing is when the show takes a break and I don't get a new episode in my feed. (I'm kidding!!!!) This is the best true crime show on air and with all the exceptional hard-work they put into crafting each episode they most certainly deserve a vacation. DO NOT MISS, IT IS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE! Every episode is informative and intriguing without being voyeuristic or trashy.

  • The only true crime that’s truly high quality

    Actual detectives telling their own stories… such a great idea. I always listen to the new episode as soon as they drop it.

  • Pretty good show

    I enjoy the show and like the approach but I have made the mistake of thinking that the host sounds like Kitty from that 70s show and now whenever she speaks that’s who I’m picturing and it kinda takes me out of it
