Will Sharpe (The White Lotus) hosts a mind-bending real-life story of reincarnation and a spooky tale of family secrets. In 1950s England, milkman John Pollock makes a sensational prophecy: His dead daughters will be reborn. At first, even his own wife says he’s a crank. But then she gives birth to twin girls who have uncanny similarities to their sisters who died. Suddenly, the world sits up and takes notice. Pollock’s prophecy attracts the attention of a serious American scientist who crosses the Atlantic countless times to study the twins. And his conclusion is astonishing. So, what if death is only the beginning? Extrasensory goes in search of the two people who know the truth—the twins themselves. Extrasensory is an Apple Original podcast produced by Blanchard House.

This starts off interesting but as more and more information comes to light, it becomes apparent some of the narrators can’t let go of what seemed at first blush to be a gripping tale of a woman on the run from something. Let it go.
The narrators fell into the conspiracy

Instead of just accepting what was clearly explained by the men who actually knew this woman, the narrators seemed like they were bending over backwards to prove what rural, small town people created in their minds as the “real story”. Also, the narrators do not understand what depression is—making their own conclusion that she couldn’t have been depressed bc of a note she wrote to herself 8 months before she died. (not close enough to the time she died to factor as her state of mind) They did a good job at interviewing everyone. It’s their conclusions that made the end of the podcast sound like a bad joke—“British woman walks into a bar….” And the locals all have a turn with the punchline.
A Podcast That Should Not Have Been Released

A sensational hypothetical is used to hook the listener on episode one, while the showrunners know full well that it came from an unreliable source and is untrue. As soon as they read the documents in Sue Knight's personal file, the ethical thing to do would have been to cancel the project. Instead, we're presented with this lazy and shameless attempt to make "something out of nothing," and I hope that they are not given a future opportunity to waste people's time.
Don’t waste your time

Jan 13

Thwackdown

Felt less like a podcast and more like a dare to see how much nonsense I could endure. Spoiler: I lost. Feels like the team behind this story learned about the sunk cost fallacy. Don’t waste your time with this show. They really try to squeeze a 10 episode story out of nothing. Repetitive, misleading, and a bit exploitative.
