I listened to this whole podcast on my 5 hour drive from El Paso to Terlingua and passed sierra blanca and it made it a little more fun and spooky. I originally thought it was real true crime but I ended up realizing it was fake after the audio of her aunt being beheaded played. Still had fun with it! I would listen to the 2nd season if they ever did one. y’all are uptight and crying and complaining about it not being a real true crime labeled as so. It’s labeled fiction, but recorded like a true crime. It’s like being mad at the Blair witch project. We all know it’s fake but it’s labeled as a documentary.

Need a season 2 so bad

Mislabeled as True Crime. I do love the idea and storytelling.

These low reviews are mad it was marketed as True but couldn’t tell it was false. Well it makes it a great story. The mixes of true and false make it a fun horror story and almost believable. Thankfully voices from other horror podcasts were used so I knew it was false but mannnn does it make you question it.

Not true crime but marketed as such.

It’s all lies and not even done well. Spoiler alert, the “niece” plays “real footage” from the murder of her aunt and it’s so disturbing and unbelievable. Who would do this?! This podcast is marketed as true crime but it’s all scripted and unconvincing. The acting is bad and within minutes it becomes clear it’s all fake.

I’m not sure why so many did not understand this is fiction. It’s a sort of found footage style of audio dramas. It’s written as a true crime horror story. It’s highlighting the real life crimes often overlooked by people in places like USA. It highlights the real issues of crimes against the marginalized and Mia bringing it to the attention of those that overlook it. It’s a fantastic story. Don’t let those who misunderstood and down rated it. - written by a 3,300 year old alien vampire.

It is not true crime.

Our minds process things differently when they’re presented as fact, even if some will say that it’s “clearly fake”. It doesn’t matter. This was presented as something true, and there will always be some people who won’t be able to tell the difference. This can be damaging - Reminiscent of the BBC Halloween fake-special controversy. The voice acting fails at accurately imitating a True Crime Podcast, the characters aren’t really interesting. Fails as both fiction and nonfiction, committing to neither and poorly imitating both. Would have enjoyed if it was clearly fiction from the beginning. That way, it can go all in on capturing reality without hurting people.

It clearly says fiction. Right at the very top. Don’t give a bad review because you neglected to actually read. And this was sooooooooo good!
