Based on a True Story (TV Series) The Survivor (2023) User Reviews

Episode 4

[bobcobb301 · 7/10 · 18 June 2023]

We had an episode that drastically shifted the setting taking things to Las Vegas for a weekend for Crime Con. I don't know how outrageous this concept even is because the show is right that there is a huge market for this kind of thing and people love listening to the podcasts.

I'll try not to make it creepy by pointing out Ruby in the bathing suit, but the club scenes sort of canceled out any benefits of that.

Matt speaking to the fake survivor was terrifying though and while we knew she would do something, her dangling at the end was still a sight to see. Good way to emphasize the seriousness of all this.

Of course true crime podcasters would have their own convention in Las Vegas.

Ava and Nathan arrive at Crime Con to seek ideas to boost their paltry numbers. Or else Nathan has sold his soul for nothing.

Matt is in tow as well. They sit in the audience as the Lipinski sisters have their own take of the Westside Ripper.

They talk to the mother of one of his victims, Chloe Lake. Then introduce Dahlia Stone, the only woman to survive an attack from the Westside Ripper. She has a book out about her ordeal.

Only Matt denounces her as a fraud. His eyes wanting revenge for her lies.

This was a much better episode. As Nathan mentions a few times, he sold his soul. The show acknowledges the families of the victims left behind to pick up the pieces.

As for Dahlia, I expected her to meet a sticky end. I just wonder if that is an error on Matt's part.
