The Oland Murder

I thought this series was a fascinating and compelling look into the murder of a well known businessman in Canada. It doesn't resort to sensationalizing and exploiting the material and participants like some American true-crime series (I'm looking at you, Dateline). In its understated and elegant way, it slowly reveals the facts of the case. The animations were excellent as was the cinematography. Highly recommend this slow-burning, stylish series.

I knew nothing about this case and it was just a BIG waste of my time. This documentary feels like free publicity for Dennis Oland; and it could have been completed in 1 episode. It is a highly biased documentary (if we can call this a documentary) as there is no serious presentation of facts, witnesses, or police work, except for what the defense wants to prove.

Binged this on CBCs GEM. Definitely a very Canadian series but as a true crime lover who knew nothing of this case, I was riveted.

Please explain why you bother to have scripts written for all people involved, including guests and hosts, when U cover-up their words w/ loud drumming, music, thumps, bangs, whooshes, thunder, etc. It's very disconcerting for the listener. Since I tape all my TV viewing, it's necessary, so often, to rewind and replay what someone has just said, to try to pick out their words over all the racket that is going on louder than the voices throughout the WHOLE show. This stuff is obviously dubbed in OVER the words. Isn't there anyone who has a say over which is loudest - the noise or the voices?? This never used to be a problem for listeners, but now it seems to be on every TV show. Whatever happened????

As a new brunswicker, this case was ALL OVER the news for years on end. But I learned so many new things from this show that were never ever mentioned in any of the media coverage during the trials. Very well done series!
