Over the course of 15 seasons and 136 episodes (and counting), the Investigation Discovery series “Evil Lives Here” has evolved into one of the most surprisingly thoughtful unscripted shows on television — a true crime program that eschews cliche and sensationalism in favor of profound empathy and psychological insight. The premise is simple: It’s a Pov interview series in which horrific crimes are explored from the perspective of those closest to the perpetrators — spouses, parents, children, friends, etc. — who recount the trauma of discovering the truth about their loved ones. What distinguishes “Evil Lives Here” from other true crime series is not only its move away from the binary focus on monsters and victims but the sensitivity of its interviews and the subtlety of its recreations. Nuance is not a word one often thinks of when it comes to true crime, but “Evil Lives Here” is rich in it.

Jeff Titus, who has spent 21 years in prison for the murder of two deer hunters in 1990, is a free man thanks to evidence discovered by a true-crime series and podcast.
Titus, a 71-year old man, left Lakeland Correctional Facility in Coldwater, Michigan, in part due to Investigation Discovery’s Killer In Question and Susan Simpson’s podcast Undisclosed.
It marks the latest innocent man to be freed as a result of the boom in interest in true-crime projects.
Titus’ conviction was overturned by U.S. Federal District Court Judge Paul D. Borman after the Michigan Conviction Integrity Unit, the Michigan Department of Attorney General and Titus’ attorneys at the Michigan Innocence Clinic submitted a joint filing requesting that the conviction be set aside, based on multiple Brady violations uncovered.
The series is produced by Red Marble Media, filmed in conjunction with Simpson’s Undisclosed podcast. It was they that uncovered the violations.

Pierce Brosnan is set to star in the true story of a World War II veteran called “The Last Rifleman,” and WestEnd Films has boarded the project to present it to buyers at the upcoming Toronto International Film Festival, WestEnd Films announced Tuesday.
Terry Loane will direct Brosnan in “The Last Rifleman” as Artie Crawford, a veteran living in an assisted living home in Northern Ireland who on the 75th anniversary of D-Day escapes from his home and travels to the beaches of Normandy in France to pay his final respects.
The film’s story, written by Kevin Fitzpatrick, is inspired by Bernard Jordan, who at 89 years old did much the same thing on the 70th anniversary of D-Day in June 2014 when he snuck out of his care home in East Sussex and boarded a ferry to France and Normandy.
Principal photography will begin this winter in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.
