For the most part I enjoyed this, slightly different take on a true crime podcast but the amount of ads was insane! Considering the episodes didn't really go above 45 mins, don't need 10+ mins of ads too.
Jess Gibson
The adverts are absolutely ridiculous, nearly a third of the runtime of each episode 🤦♀️

The take away point for me was the interaction between Edd & his parents in 'Brett Who' when they are talking about the night. Edd seems frustrated that (his mum especially) isn't recalling the same memories. I feel they were then trying to help him save face with their answers. Doesn't mean I think he was consciously lying. I found this section the most telling of it all but it seems to have been forgotten about to continue the narrative being that Brett was at the house.

Four episodes in and... what is the mystery? It's such a non-story, like the producer got carried away.

The story has me intrigued, but the 30% ads and other time wasting is torture
