“This show is so good. I love it. It’s a mix of comedy and mystery. It’s perfect. Everybody does such a good job. I hope they continue to make more!
***2/7/23*** I randomly check back to see if there’s any new episodes. I am so bummed there’s nothing. The dry humor mixed with the mystery was...”Read full review »

“…it’s fiction! Okay, I’m stupid. I came to this podcast under the naive impression that it was about real events. It blew me away, amazing. Then in the final credits I heard a lot of names, read the log line and saw that it’s fictional. So yes, it’s brilliant work as a complicated radio play, but...”Read full review »

“Wow - this is an excellent show. I love the mockumentary style and this one is done well. Acting and sound design are excellent. Have listened to seasons 1 and 2 and it holds up. Season 3 is out there and I will be listening soon. Thank you for the wonderful entertainment!”

“The writing is clever and laugh-out-lound funny in all three seasons. The actors do an incredible job with the material. It is really one of the best podcasts out there.”

“The first season is unbelievably well made. The story telling is gripping and it keeps you on the edge of your seat till the last few seconds. There were many points I laughed out loud in the office while I binged the entire first season. On to the second season! Great great great podcast!”

“This podcast is annoying. Wholly unsatisfying and not true journalism. Nearly every episode the podcaster purports to have the answer. But the answer keeps changing and the entire thing is complete conjecture. Spoiler alert. The final “evidences” of Melissa still being out there could be from...”Read full review »

“Very funny, interesting stories, a quick listen for any commute. Highly recommend at least sampling the first few episodes of season 1. I was hooked after the first episode. I do believe season 1 was the strongest, season 2 was not quite as strong in the story but I still loved it. Season 3 was...”Read full review »

“But 3 immediately starts off as unbelievable. You have to at least make it feel plausible, and season 3 totally misses the mark. Season 1 was their best one honestly, now it’s just been downhill from there.”

“This podcast series of of such an unbelievable quality. A true labor of love. The story, the acting, the sound effects, music…. Superb!
The amount of work that went into all the little details like commercials, fake news reports, jingles…. It really takes you into the story.
It’s like Better...”Read full review »

“Not spoofy enough to be funny. Not interesting enough to be played so straight. True Crime is bad enough, and somehow most fake true crime is just worse. Who on earth has this much time to waste? Mostly good acting & narration, tho.”

The editing & voice acting is amazing & expertly done. Since covid, I’ve had a lot of free time. So I’ve listened to A LOT of...”Read full review »

“I dislike True Crime as a concept, but especially as an entertainment genre, for most of the obvious reasons.
Love faux-True Crime, though!
This brilliantly mocks the genre, using dull and damaging - to razor sharp - wit and parody. Sure, it gets a bit meta in spots, but that’s expected...”Read full review »

“I feel as if, taken as a collective art form, there’s something fundamentally depreciative about podcasts. Whether is this is caused by limitations of the medium, or prolific over-production; no podcast is left untouched. Over time, and regardless of the initial quality presented, podcasts just...”Read full review »
