Customer Reviews
I Love Vice But Why So Short
I love the production that Vice has to offer and I understand that budgeting exist but if you guys make such amazing content - then why do you not lengthen the content.
It’s too short lived and I feel as if some of these are not explained enough and they deserve to be lengthened.
