Trophy Wife: Murder on Safari

I've watched a lot of true crime, and this is one of the rare ones that is so bad, I stopped watching halfway through episode 1. The pacing is painfully slow, the music choice is bizarre (obviously picked to sound stereotypically "exotic" by people who don't know anything about Africa), and it sometimes drowns out the voices. The timeline jumps back and forth at random, they include the cringey B-roll and unrelated corny pop culture clips, and more. Did they really need to repeat 10 times in 20 minutes how much this guy loves hunting? Waste of time.

Look...leave your artsy fartsy film making for something other than a DOCUMENTARY. Ridiculous. I need facts and a sensible timeline. Jump cuts, gratuitous big game deaths, odd year, month count down and up is as confusing as this review. Yes, wild animals are fascination but this is not National Geographic or the Nature channel. A disclaimer is imperative .

Half the doc u series is random video of animals in safari walking around. Makes no sense and just filler. Jumps around way too much and again, should be one episode. The sound track is also way off and always dark sounding. I ended up fast forwarding a lot to get through all the filler. Dateline has this same murder case you can watch in an hour.

Well done doc, but could've been 2 episodes not 3. Everyone is cartoon villain level evil. Just abysmal. Main dude is a dentist and big game hunter, his dental assistant lady says they were doing root canals people didn't need on nearly everyone. She should be in literal jail. He should be in H***. His wife was a big game hunter too. And they all ran in an evil (conservative) circle. May they all have the days they deserve. Genuinely hard to watch.

I gave it an honest shot, a little noisy and loud for every unnecessary reason but overall I found it to be a very interesting interesting story. Typical true crime showing you the wickedness of humans. I suggest watching it with an open mind and give it a chance. The reviews here might be a little harsh.
