Atlanta Monster iHeart True Crime

Not sure where the bad reviews are coming from but this show was great. People claiming it’s slow are probably not used to having to actually absorb or learn information that isn’t spoon fed to them. Maybe they have a problem sorting through the data and ideas to form their own conclusions. This podcast is well presented and informative. My only complaint (more of a question)...where are the rest of the DC Sniper episodes?

While I agree that it’s pretty absurd to label someone as “The Atlanta Child Murderer” despite never being charged for any of the children’s murders this show simply devolves way too much into a series of conspiracy rabbit holes, conjecture and interviews with people who have clearly already formed their opinion without any evidence to back it up and hold strong to that opinion. Whether it be KKK involvement, government conspiracies or just some ludicrous hypothetical “white man who was pretending to be black to blend in to the neighborhood” (an actual opinion given by someone who claims that a white man could have walked, talked, dressed and acted black to somehow trick people into believing he was black 🤦🏻‍♂️) there is just simply way too much attention and time given to people spouting wildly baseless assertions rather than actual facts or opinions with actual evidence to support it.

The makers did an excellent job of arranging interviews, but man this series is overlong and stuffed with padded-out episodes that contribute nothing but red herrings, indulgent conspiracy theories, and interminable ad spots.
