Phrogging: Hider in My House

Hearing about someone living in peoples houses and they not know it has always been so creepy and scary to me so Phrogging:Hider in My House is right up my alley and anyone's who loves scary creepy shows. It's even scarier watching it with the lights out.

I was excited to start this series. The idea of people that hide in another person's home undetected really fascinated and scared me.

The first episode is probably the peak of the series and from their the episodes kind of go downhill with the occasional good one being thrown in for good measure.

The series gets a bit distorted and we wonder from Phrogging into more stalking and crazy ex's.

I've watched every episode and I know not every story can be as good as eachother.

The first couple of episodes are definitely worth the watch.

The rest to me were somewhat back ground noise that I zoned in and out of whilst doing other tasks.

The series certainly started out creepy and interesting with individuals sharing experiences of strangers living in their homes, but slowly turned into tales of stalking and revenge. Not exactly phrogging at that point, is it? I also found myself getting irritated with some of the individuals in certain cases. Why would someone choose to confront a complete stranger who may be dangerous or have a severe mental illness instead of immediately leaving the premises and/or calling the police? Not to sound uncaring but I found myself feeling very little concern for those specific individuals in those cases. Ended up not finishing the entire series because I just couldn't handle the off topic episodes and complete idiocy of some of the "survivors". Watch if you're intrigued, but expect that to quickly dissipate.

First of all, half of the episodes don't involve "phrogging," at all.

Basically, this is the same "true crime" garbage that we see all over the streamers. As I said in another review, this is cheap, lowest common denominator programming.

Lame reenactments and talking heads, barely watchable.

The reenactment locations often don't even remotely resemble the "true crime" photographs. Why bother? Often, the actors don't even match the talking heads that they are playing.

You will find yourself yelling at the scream, "Go call the %$#@#$ police, NOW!" Most of these "victims" have absolutely no common sense. I made it through half of them (while on the treadmill each day), but finally found the whole thing infuriating.

The masses seem to devour this junk, and it's cheap, cheap, cheap programming.

DO. NOT. WATCH. THIS.

I've watched the entire season. The first few episodes are great and definitely worth the watch.

However, it becomes less and less about actual phroggers and more about break ins or stalking. I didn't mind some of the stalking ones because tbe stalkers were living inside their homes and thus phroggers as well as stalkers. But good chunk of stories are literal break ins. Like an intruder being inside the home for 15mins to a few hours. Not phrogging. Which was just annoying.

Also as another reviewer pointed out it's shocking how naive some of the victims are and sometimes it's hard to relate with them.
