Cold Case Detective

I'm fascinated by cold cases and how they are eventually solved. But I have to say that sadly I'm only into the third episode of the first season of the entire series and I am bored to tears. The narrator's quiet, monotonous, dull presentation has caused me to fall asleep in my recliner at least once each episode. I can't tell you how any of them ended or how they were solved because when I rewound it and tried to find out, I fell asleep again. THIS SHOULD BE INTERESTING MATERIAL. There are no interviews. Just reinactments and historical pictures and videos. It's just the quiet, monotonous, dull presentation of the narrator.

Now that I've met my minimum character requirement it's time to remove this snooze fest from my Prime Video watchlist and move on.

Upon first watching this show, I found it quite enjoyable until I came upon a cold case story I was already very familiar with, which would make this particular story the third retelling of the same story to me.

I am naturally interested in the local news that happens in my city, so a few years ago when I first read about this story in my local news, I followed the story, I don't know why? Maybe because it happened so close to home? Years later, I was watching a show on hbo max and an another show on Hulu which featured this same story. Each show offered new and different insights into this missing person's case. Nevertheless, the information from both tv shows are correct, according to what I already knew from reading about it in my local news.

And now, after watching the third retelling of this story on "cold case detective", I am disgusted with this fake story they're reporting because it seems the writer (or whoever? I am just gonna hold the narrator responsible and at fault for this for now. Lol) are trying to stretch the story out to make it longer by adding extra untrue details to the story. And in other words, a common phrase most people like to say out here on the streets is that they "threw some 20's on 10's" meaning the car fits a size 10 wheel but is installed with a size 20 rim that doesn't fit it.

I am appalled and now this show has lost all its credibility to me.

The first few stories I had already watched before I got to this story, now has me doubting if they're even true or not. I'm not watching it anymore.

I've watched two of the episodes and now refuse to let my wife watch them while I am there, the narrator is easily the worst I have ever come across with his boring monotone presentation, it makes this series totally unwatchable.

I found myself on my phone while these episodes were playing, at no time did they hold my interest and that's a shame because we have watched thousands of true crime episodes over the years and this is easily the worst series.

I found that they beefed up the episodes with their own little unfounded details, their own personal hypotheses which are not based on facts which makes this series a pointless watch, there are 100's of better shows out there and I suggest people avoid this and go and watch one of those, I certainly wont be watching another one of these.
