Me Hereafter

If you like true crime as much as I do, you should watch Me Hereafter. It is 100% the most unique take on true crime that I have ever seen. It weaves the voices of the dead with the voices of the living. And it is incredible.

Two episodes that really hit me hard are the 1st and the 4th episodes. One dealt with the murder of an indigenous woman in Fargo, North Dakota. The missing and murdered indigenous women issue in the upper Midwest is not taken nearly as seriously as it should be. The producers of Me Hereafter realized the impact of this on the community and told the story that needed to be told.

The other episode that really hit home was "The Funeral Home Murders," which took a hard look at clerical sexual abuse, which is something that too many people want to ignore or justify. Me Hereafter didn't do that. They exposed it.

I just binged watched all of the episodes and wow! Very sad and heartbreaking stories! First and foremost I send my love and condolences to each and every family member of these horrific, senseless crimes! However, seeing and hearing these stories from the victims perspective was different and chilling, but capturing. I wish there were more episodes! This was a good start to a new series.

Job well done to the producers! The overall show was well done, it looked amazing in quality, it wasn't rushed, the pieces of the story came together perfectly and kept you on the edge of your seat! I didn't want to miss a second of it!

Great series that cares a lot about the victims of these terrible crimes. Brings the audience into the stories in ways I've never seen before. Highly recommend.

The cinematography and pacing help the audience become immersed. It's thoughtful and spends a lot of time exploring being a family member or friend of these victims.

It's not easy to watch...and it shouldn't be. Kudos to Hulu and the producers of this show for taking the time to tell these stories in the way they should be told. Not exploiting anything and bringing the audience in. If you're looking for stories that will make you think and feel, then this is the series for you.

I started crying almost immediately when I started watching episode one of Me Hereafter - First, She Stole My Baby. I knew immediately that the ending was going to be heartbreaking. But the producers were able to bring a sense of hope after such pain. And that makes this an incredible series.

The premise of the series is one that was new to me. "Hearing from the dead" is something I've seen in a few movies, but never in a true crime series. That was incredibly powerful, But what made it even more powerful is how the producers were able to weave the testimony from those left behind. To hear them talk about the victim - someone who lived, who loved, who was as flawed as any one of us - was so impactful. It made the stories much more relatable by tying together the voices of those who were killed and those who were left behind.

These aren't easy stories to hear. But they are stories that need to be told. Stories of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and clerical abuse are often told with "kid gloves." The filmmakers for Me Hereafter told them with empathy and passion.

Watch this series. You won't be sorry.

There's no spark of life in this series. It's just so slow that it is morose and melancholy in itself. 5 minutes *feels* like an hour.

It's like it's filmed and edited.. then slowed down to 3/4 speed and produced. All the speech from everyone is slow in nature... No one seems to speak with a normal pace. All the narration and "talking heads" just convey a sense of "sleepiness" - as if you want to tell then to "spit it out already". The scenes are slow moving... slow fades to black or transitions between everything... the soundtrack is slow meandering tones....

It's as if the producers were loaded up on sedatives, then finalized this.

This may be great for some, but honestly, it'll put me to sleep. It's akin to listening to a relaxation audio lesson. Shame.. victims will be lost due to the very poor production.

The notion of a victim telling their own story was interesting... but this is just the WORST way it could have been done.
