Phrogging: Hider in My House (2022– ) User Reviews

Starts strong then wanders off

[kpxkbks · 6/10 · 17 September 2023]

The first few episodes are really good and I couldn't stop watching. However the series seems to kind of drift away from phrogging to just general crime and stalking and feels like any other true crime series. There's about 2 stories per episode. They could have made each episode 1 drawn out story at least.

The first few episodes are definitely worth the watch but know that they progressively get more lame.

Definitely full of creepiness and uneasiness. This show will make you much more aware of your surroundings.

Really would love to see more stories of phrogging but maybe it's not common enough to have more than 4 ish episodes about it.

Make sure your crawlspaces are locked.

Phrogging: Hider in My House is a tense, unsettling series featuring stories of real people who found strangers living in their homes. Each episode features a different family or group of friends telling their story of how they came to discover there was an uninvited stranger fully infiltrating and invading peoples' homes. The episodes are edited to juxtapose first-hand accounts with actors doing dramatic reenactments. It's an engaging way to tell a story. The series' tone is well-balanced and does a good job of emphasizing the seriousness of the story without being overly-dramatic. The people and stories featured in each episode are all unique in their own way, so it never really feels repetitive, even though each one ends in a similar fashion. It's an easy watch with the right blend of suspense and tension perfectly timed for creepy Halloween binges.

Love to watch this show

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.

Creepy TV

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.

Slowly Dwindled

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.

Some of them are good.

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.

Very disappointing

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.

Some are good, some are BS

[ppyyctyd · 5/10 · 2 December 2023]

Some of these are good episodes, but some are complete baloney.

The crazy lady in one of the season 1 episode 8 stories was completely delusional and I highly doubt anything she said she experienced actually happened. Someone lining up fruit on her kitchen counter, driving different vehicles watching her at the pool, etc. She decides it must be a man she casually dated 2 years prior.

She is constantly calling the police to tell them about her stalker moving her coffee pot, her patio plants and pots being moved, leaving half eaten sandwiches on her patio, jars of mustard on her toilet(!?) and other nonsense. Police don't take her seriously (I can't imagine why) and she then decides to move 1000 miles away. She claims that her stalker followed her 1000 miles to her new location and continued stalking her.

She eventually decides to get her CDL and become a long haul trucker and claims she was able to get away from him after 8 years of being stalked.

When she first decided that it was an ex from a casual relationship that had to be her stalker, she texted him (it had been 2 years since they'd seen each other) and he texted back, "you're a crazy b*tch!"

He was 100% correct.

Wow, this is bad

[Ripshin · 16 October 2023]

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.
