Finally Caught

I literally created an account just to comment here. I love true crime and am used to commentators on these types of shows. BUT. The "experts" they have on "Finally Caught" are clearly reading cue cards, and badly written cue cards at that. No one naturally speaks this way. A lot of hate has been piled on the female commentators here, but trust me - they are ALL cringe-y. The stories are interesting and tragic, and I love a good "finally solved" cold case show. The producers need to listen to the reviews and interview the people who actually worked on the cases, not the high school drama club.

The concept of this series is good and the cases are definitely interesting, however the "experts" are completely unnecessary.

The concept of focusing on lesser known older cold cases that are finally solved is great. I've watched several episodes about cases I had never seen before or knew anything about.

What doesn't work are the plethora of " experts" giving a synopsis every episode. These "experts" are unnecessary when there is also a narrator. The worst offender is the forensic expert, Christine Hannah, who talks with a breathy affect as if someone punched her in the throat. I literally want to gauge my ears out every time she's on screen. The other "experts" seem to recite commentary as middle schoolers giving an oral book report, they're a bit to excited about murder.

Hopefully there will be more seasons, just without these unnecessary cast members that ruin the serious nature of the show.

Good stories.. true crime lovers may not be familiar with some of them which helps because I feel like I've seen them all at this point. However, the seemingly Canadian "experts" and journalists are completely unnecessary and off putting. There's a narrator, no need for 5 other people to narrate. One young female expert has so much pep in her voice as she talks about murder. The worst is the forensic expert. Her breathy voice is cringy and distracting. I hope she's okay. She sounds like someone is forcing her to read from a script after punching her in the chest. I'll continue to watch only because I'm interested in the stories.

It's a great show, but perhaps subtitles for Christine Hannah might make her lines more understandable. She speaks as though she doesn't have enough air to finish her words or sentences. This makes it difficult to understand her. This is not a criticism of her, but perhaps she needs help to allow the viewers to get what she's trying to communicate. I often have to rewind to find out what she is saying.

Otherwise, the show is intriguing, well-delivered, thoughtful (especially to the families of the victims), and.pertinent to this day and age. There are lessons in this series for everyone. It is not a sensational series, yet it is informative.

How in the world was Christine Hannah selected to have a speaking role on this show? Simply horrible! Sounds like she has a mouthful of marbles. Combine that with zero personality behind what she says and I cringe when she speaks! Surely there were other choices. I have seen her on a few other shows and didn't understand it then. There are many other narrators on the show that speak beautiful and do not hurt the overall flow this otherwise good show.

If she is paid for this narration whatever she receives is too much. I am sure there are iewers that could do a better job and appear for free, in case the budget is the issue!
