“I think the host thought the audience would appreciate all his “insight” but it comes off as boring filler. There’s so much contemplation on “what to do next” and I find myself screaming at the screen because it’s so obvious at points and doesn’t need to be discussed with the audience. Any true crime fan could tell you the answer to many of his “contemplations”.
The part where he fully gives himself away to on Facebook was hard to listen to. He let a lead slip right out of his hands. Additionally, I would expect more interviews with the people of nome rather than 4 episodes of chasing a lead that the host then destroys before our ears.
Take this break as an opportunity to actually focus on the facts of the case and what the people who live there have to say, rather than boring speculative commentary. It feels like he is attempting to direct a movie rather than be an investigative journalist. I will say the families seem very appreciative which gives me hope this can turn around. The case itself is interesting and there seems to be a lot of thread to pull on, which is the only reason why I’m still listening.”
