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.

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 think this show is great! Phrogging shows the real people that experienced this and tells what happened from the moment they noticed anything wrong to the conclusion. They don't drag it on, but do it in a quick concise way. I think most people can identify with what they are thinking and feeling, except this time, the people are right, there is someone hiding in their house. I know that sometimes I hear things in my house and see things that I did not think I did or had been there before. At times, I wonder if someone is in my house, not because of the show but have wondered that for years. Phrogging is not scary, but informative and helpful. It lets you know that others feel the same say. Fortunately, most of us just think we might have someone living in our homes but don't really believe it. These people were actually right! I love it.

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.

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.
