So... Very... Slow
embmw25 October 2022
Thankfully devoid of cheesy reenactments that are common in lower-end US true crime series. But this has got to be the slowest true crime show I've ever seen. Before the halfway point of episode one I was already wondering when it would ever end. Made an hour feel like two.

Perhaps the victims' families get some sort of cathartic benefit from talking at length about their lost loved ones, but for viewers who didn't know the victims there's way too much of that in this show.

Perhaps that sounds uncaring, but it's merely a comment on the watchability (or lack thereof) of this particular series.

It would make for better viewing if two or three cases were profiled in every episode. As it is, it's doubtful this series will find a large following since there's very little "meat" for an hour long show.

When your TV pitch is, "What if we used Victim Impact Statements as the synopsis?" this tabloid trash is the result.

Slovenly to the point of worthless, this grovelling series seems to campaign for sainthood of the victims while reducing the attackers to clichéd villains.

Cynical commercialisation of victim's families, police and other crime professionals by using their contributions to add undeserved credibility to this flyweight series.

Almost no analysis specific to the each case, just editing the contributors into childish good guy, bad guy storytelling.
