Bloodline Detectives

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.

Most of the cases are interesting, some are incredible. But with Nancy Grace and Brian Oxman narrating, it comes across as a carny show. They are not even master showmen, just fools gold with a little glittter that masquerades as the real thing. I can tolerate Grace because everyone knows her heavy-handedness is her trademark, and her elaborate and somewhat bizarre makeup (like red eyeliner) and the way she forces exaggeration on the viewer is just part of the show. Oxman, though, is a puffy-eyed bag of gas who should have bowed out with his supposed client Michael Jackson. Now I know why he was disbarred.

The crime here is these are real crimes, real suffering families, really hard work by 100's of investigators and detectives, and the show is a great public service announcement to share your DNA...but Grace and Oxman insist on beating their own drums. As if the show is an advertisement for their outrageous and overblown personalities. Buffoons. It is shameful. Whoever did the casting should be stripped of the right to ever cast another show.

Also, the cascade of rushing music in the background is annoying and detracts from the narrative. I admit, I'm half way through season three and will continue to watch till the end. But that is despite Grace and Oxman, not because they add anything of value to the show.

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.

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.

The show itself is fascinating with the technology used to catch these criminals. The host though is horrible and makes it difficult to watch the entire program. I see several comments about her so called pink eyeliner but I just watched an episode and she clearly has black eyeliner. What she does have is extremely red eyes. My husband made the comment that she looks like she smokes that wacky tobaccy stuff. I'm inclined to agree. That could also explain her overdramatic way of speaking. She really does sound like she's reporting for the National Enquirer or some other sensationalist publication which is sad since these cases are very serious, sober, and heartbreaking. When the day comes that she's replaced, I'll give this show a higher rating.
