So awful I found myself wincing all throughout

I'm watching this right now on Television, It wasn't really planned, I was just hanging out in my room. I've been seeing the commercials nonstop for the past week so I decided to give it a try.

First off: the ex-cop or whatever he is. His conversations are dull and boring. His expressions are bland and don't seem to show any real emotion even though he attempts slight facial expressions for dramatic effect. The people he talks to cannot possibly be real people. If the people he interviews aren't actors I will be shocked. Their words are perfectly put together, their actions are robotic and unreal feeling. Altogether mediocre interviews.

Second: Amy is the MOST ANNOYING person I've ever watched on Television The physical medium is quite annoying. She's constantly walking around the house smiling while saying "they want to kill people". Why? I don't understand why. Her facial expressions are over exaggerated, sometimes inappropriate for what she's saying. She half mumbles her words through some kind of clenched teeth over dramatic expression. She overall makes me wince in pain every time she walks around the house and pretends to see things. Constantly repeating "it scared me" "I can't breath"....and on and on repetitive I don't like this blah blah blah, this makes me uncomfortable...

Third: the facts that both sides come up with are too close. They'll show the medium say something about a very small detail of something, and then cut to another scene with the other investigator directly proving what the other person had seen. It's unrealistic. The entire time we're cutting between over edited scenes where facts obviously line up with each other perfectly, they're in perfect order too, matched up as if the medium hit each point or fact in the show just as the other guy did. They didn't even try to split things like this up. Their attempts to not make it match exactly are not discreet at all, and it's obvious that they have come up with something the medium could say to not exactly hit the same subject the investigator came up with but have an obvious connection between the two "facts"

Altogether it's the most fake, worst, most gut-wrenching show I've ever seen. It shocked me so much that I had to get online as soon as possible to see what other people had to say about this show. ECK!!!
