Bloodline Detectives

I love this type of program. The advances in genetics is something I find fascinating. I do recommend watching this program for the science it includes.

What ruins it for me is Nancy Grace. Each time the episode starts I hope it isn't an episode involving rape because Nancy will inevitable use the inaccurate phrase "sex attack" which is like nails on a chalkboard.

Please use proper terminology as failure to do so makes Nancy sound ignorant. I know she is an intelligent professional woman so this is doing her a disservice.

If you can ignore the poor grammar, I do think this show is worth watching.

She constantly uses the wrong grammar.

"Sex Assault" instead of Sexual Assault "Tot" instead of child I have to fast forward through every part she's talking and watch the parts she's not talking.

She may be smart, but she's not made for TV.

The only reason I deal with the anxiety I get when she talks is to get to the important information in the show.

Someone else needs to take her spot and this could actually be a great show to watch.

Also, I think it's season one, but she recorded the whole season in one day. I know this because I binged watched it and her clothes, hair etc never changed. SMH

This could be a really great show if she was replaced. She doesn't have the it factor or sense of empathy that should be felt by the audience when she's talking. It seems more like courtroom drama.

The reason for my 10 rating appears after my rant and rave.

PLEASE stop the music and unecessary moderators! Why, oh why, do television shows insist on the loud, driving, irritating, DISTRACTING music throughout the show??? I have been unable to watch many interesting shows because I cannot tolerate the annoying, pointless background music. Why do we need a "host"? Why don't we need an appropriate host if we must have one? Nancy Grace adds nothing and, in fact, is a huge negative. She does not convey empathy or the solemnity of the topics, she speaks like the National Enquirer, she's loud, and for whatever reason she appears almost as a caricature of a series host. She has no function or expertise that I can see or hear. If it has to do with being a former prosecutor, it doesn't show and doesn't make her a scientist. She has nothing to do with the cases, crimes, or anyone involved. It makes me crazy to watch and listen to her just repeat what's already been said in a sensationalist tone of voice.

With that said, I find the topic of genetic genealogy extremely interesting, particularly as it applies to solving crimes. The cases covered are wide ranging and really show how incredible this technology truly is. It's worth watching - I just turn the volume low and the sub-titles on.

Love this show, except for Nancy Grace, and her calling kids "tot girl" like the episode on "Delta Dawn" the formerly unidentified toddler found dead, her awful makeup, and the repeated parts of the story. They really have enough information, there doesn't need to be a host, especially not Nancy Grace who I find so harsh & unsympathetic. And get her a new makeup artist. I never thought those type of things, like "catchphrases" or makeup would make me poorly review a show but with Nancy Grace apparently it does, een her voice feels very uncaring. I know she's done good work &has a sad past that got her into crime but she takes away from the good work of this show.

Nancy Grace is so obnoxious. Seriously, she's like nails on a chalkboard. Her use of incorrect terms like "sex attacked" or "sex assaulted" cheapens the show. I love the rest of the series so it's just unfortunate that such a poor choice of host was made. FFS can she please stop with the silly "tot" stuff, it takes away from the serious show content. Also, if you must use an already terrible host choice, shell out for a makeup artist. That red eyeliner is crazy. She just really detracts from the show. Whoever decided she would be a great host, should definitely be reprimanded. It was an awful choice.
