“The first three seasons were great and the topics in the fourth are interesting and new. However in the newest season I think the reporting is not very nuanced and comes across as very judgemental and verging on benefiting from the misery of others.
I wanted to write this review after listening to the most recent episode about ‘Britains Super Jail’ because Naomi infers that the prisoners are having a great time seconds after reporting that a prisoner had died which seemed inappropriate and insensitive. This ep reminded me of the reporting tabloid newspapers do.
I enjoy listening to true crime but I feel that it should be done in a way that educates and has a positive impact on people’s understanding or gives back to victims. Sometimes there is a hint of victim blaming and due to some of the topics not really having a narrative I feel the episodes could be damaging rather than having a positive impact.
I think the podcast could be great because the topics are very well picked but more thought and respect should be given to the people/victims that are being reported on. Wishing that dead people are at peace seems very inauthentic. Also agree with other reviews that some of the reporting is very cringey.”

“I adore this podcast. Naomi tells sometimes truly
Shocking stories, with sensitivity and enough information that you feel it’s been investigated with courage. Truly well researched and written, and each episode gets better. I love the longer investigative stories, than span multiple episodes and...”Read full review »
