Crime Beat

I really enjoyed watching this series as it is about crime in Canada.

What I didn't like is the horrible music that starts the program. Some of the presenters on different episodes are very bad and have terrible speaking voices. If these two dislikes were eliminated I woud give it 9 out of 10. It seems that the series is done on a low budget and thus the terrible music and poor presenters. Good that they have a show focusing on Canadian Crimes for a change without all the "drama" on the usual on all of the standard American TV crime shows. Anyways it is certainly worth watching and I do hope they will continue the show .

The show is very repetitious, could have been presented in a half an hour. Violent criminal's in Canada have a lot going for them. Mass killer gets a full release. Guy cuts off another guy's head and then eats him in front of people, is free. The families of these victims are in disbelief. Who can blame them. These rules are incredible. I saw on Family Guy them making funof it all of the time.

I watch all the true crime I can get my hands on. "Crime Beat" is one of the best true crime series I have ever seen come out of North America. Period.

Very fast paced, re-enactments move the plot forward, every scene has a purpose, great narration and true commentary by real life detectives add that layer of authenticity without falling into "the boredom trap" of many other similar shows.

Every episode is gripping, suspenseful, terrifying...this series brings it all, in spades.

Highly (highly) recommend - cannot wait for season 2 (looks like it was just released!!!)

I can't get into Caryn Lieberman's episodes, it's clear she doesn't really care and is doing a poor job of acting as though she does. I just can't watch when she's hosting so I don't.

This is nothing like "Snapped" or "See no Evil" but the formula is the same. The difference is that all episodes are about powerful true crime events and not so repetitive format as so many true Crime shows.
