“Just got bored with this. Too much blame game towards first responders, couldn’t listen to it. Not a balanced narrative at all. I’ll wait for another person to present this story.”

“Canada’s worst shooting spree in modern history has left us with far more questions than answers. Journey inside every single hour of this tragedy as it happened with Global News Halifax reporter Sarah Ritchie.
This 13-part true crime series pieces together exactly what happened and what could...”Read full review »

“I couldn’t finish the podcast. Only got 3 episodes in. Sarah is fixed on how the time line is off and appears to place a lot of blame on the police. I would like her to be a first responder walking into a scene like that and tell me she would do every single thing correct. First responders are...”Read full review »

“Started strong but in order to achieve the episode by hour novelty theme, the same details are repeated ad nauseam. It could have been condensed to a few episodes and been much stronger. I gave up after 4 episodes.”

“Wow. I got to episode 10 and came to a hard realization. Throughout the podcast, the theme of the terror and the horrifying impact that the event has had on survivors and the community is constant.
Many individuals spoke of their long term trauma after this single isolated event.
But do we...”Read full review »

“I feel that Sarah jumped on this one a little too soon. With all the information that has come out since the incident, very little of what she said is accurate. Even the time line is off. I realize it was early, but she basically wanted to be the first journalist to report on it, therefore...”Read full review »

“Long-form true crime is my favorite, but I’m so spoiled now it’s hard to find one that really grabs me. This one had me hooked right away. I don’t really get the bad reviews - seems like people who may be biased toward police. Love her reporting style and it’s impeccably researched and respectful...”Read full review »

The fact the No area wide...”Read full review »

“I am not a member. I know members I will admit. This podcast was suggested to me, so I downloaded and have listened as far as number 10. It was apparent very early in the podcast that the goal was to lay blame and call out rcmp at every given opportunity. Pure and simple the blame falls on...”Read full review »

“So few points to note here I have found to be in accurate.
There is no such thing as military style assault rifles/weapons.
It’s either military or it’s not. There is no middle here and It’s that simple.
Secondly this wasn’t a mass shooting. It was a mass killing. It was both firearms and...”Read full review »

“I couldn’t make it through two episodes with all the repetition and complete bias. More focused on the police than the crime. Probably could have all been summed up in 5 episodes at most. So much potential but mostly a waste of time.”
