    Shut it off after thirty seconds

    Wow I was really excited about this especially since I'm a pretty big ghostbusters fan but I was VERY irritated by that obnoxious narrator. I made this account specifically to write this review, that's how much it bothered me. Poor choice Netflix!

    Content is great but...

    The actual information and interviews are great but the voice over is ANNOYING!

    Great stories, annoying narration

    I learned a lot of fun facts about the two iconic films profiled, but the narration is so annoying! The narrator interrupts the interviews so often it makes it all feel disjointed.

    narration problems

    Where is the other narrator? He was much better. The new narrator does not convey the humor of the scenes and speaks very fast. And it completely lost references to the rest of the series. A wasted universe.

    Great concept but why so much narration??

    The narration was extremely excessive and distracting and honestly, probably not even necessary. It would have been better to hear it all from the creators who are all brilliant. I feel like they could barely say a sentence before she was talking excessively again, so incredibly bad choice whoever decided to do that.
