Host is inexperienced

kevincthomson

I like the show. But the host Alexis leaves me wanting more. The guest develop an emotional connection very quickly and engage each other in a very authentic manner. The host however, seems to only be reading off the prompter asking pedestrian questionss. The guests thankfully chime in and add some valuable insights.

When Alexis's podcast cohost is one with her we lose these insights because her cohost seems to be trying to get the last word in. In my opinion she also seems to lack the journalistic and real life experience that the guests need. This comes across as a lack of empathy, but I feel it's just Alexis concentrating or being a bit nervous, so again lack of experience.

These topics are so traumatic that their lack of experience is a evident throughout the show.

If you've watched Evil Lives Here, the show is worth a watch, but manage your expectations. I'd prefer a format with a more experienced host or simply the guests interacting without a host.

score 4/10
