    This is so awesome!!! I love this series idea! My favourite part was Nigel’s backwards head standing at the desk that you animated, dude can really turn his head around like an owl 😂

    This is so well done and so interesting to me!!! I think about this a lot, and I genuinely think there's some "wrong' culprits that make less sense! Honestly I'm convinced Nigel would've made more sense now, and had more motivation compared to Jane, who really didn't know what was going on. Loved this!!

      I was SO blown away when I replayed it. I could not wrap my head around how I’d remembered it wrong for all these years!! I need to make my other videos like this because I agree that sometimes, in my head, other suspects make more sense!

    That's so interesting that your memory of CUR's ending involves something similar to DDI's ending (*DDI minor spoiler incoming!* a person sitting at a desk with their back to Nancy)! Also Lilo as the Beast of Blackmoor was too good. 😂

    • @SouthernSleuth
      @SouthernSleuth  5 місяців тому +2

      Oooo so true. Wonder if that influenced it at all! But I didn’t remember the culprit of DDI either when I replayed CUR so who knows!
