Heartland Homicide

The one positive about this series is that they present interesting cases. Other than that, the show is not good. (1) It is very, very slow and extremely repetitive - they repeat the same points over and over again. (2) The information presented is not always accurate. For example, in one episode they show a person using a hammer to commit a murder, and repeat this "fact" over and over again. However, upon checking the case court records, I found that there was no hammer used - it was a pipe. I think they put the hammer in for effect, which is lame. Nobody wants to have to check facts when watching a true crime series. (3) The reenactments are also very poor (bad direction, bad "actors", bad in general). And, last but not least: Benji Greenberg (the legal expert) and her voice/manner of speaking have to go. Her vocal fry is so annoying that it absolutely ruins anything positive about the show. I found myself dreading her appearance in each of the episodes I watched (five in total). This is the reason I ultimately stopped watching the show. I would voluntarily listen to fingernails dragged over a chalkboard for a year straight before I listen to one more second of her voice. Think Donald Duck with structured vocal fry and you have hit the bullseye - yes, it is that bad.

Get some competent, un-weird/obnoxious/samctimonious "commentators" with some experience outside of Canada. Things work different in the U. S., and some of the "experts" seem to be oblivious in that regard.

Between the woman who appears to be gasping and laboring with every syllable, the motor mouth lawyer and the way too hypocritical former RCMP guy espousing the virtues of indigenous people (in spite of the RCMP's woeful history of callous indifference to the plight of said people), this is just a lame attempt at appearing relevant and sincere.

It's a great concept and there are unfortunately far too many cases for subject matter but the "credentials" of the spokespeople are inadequate.

Stories are pretty interesting. Narrator has great voice but seems to wish to create suspense - but it doesn't work. Repetitive information and annoying music do not help. I agree the legal expert's nasal accent is "unique" to say the least. In Season 1 episode 8 - Summer Inman - in the initial introduction they say the town Logan is in Michigan. One minute later they say the town Logan is in Ohio. How can an editor miss that error? I have seen other inconsistencies but not as flagrant. I hope to get through all episodes. One good thing - at least I haven't noticed U. S. bashing which is the norm from many Canadians. Thank you!

The show is good. However, I can't stand Benji Greenberg's nasal voice. Her unnecessary comments & voice make it very difficult to tolerate. My mother taught me to speak from the diaphragm. Nasal speech is a form of childhood whining. The show is good. However, I can't stand Benji Greenberg's nasal voice. Her unnecessary comments & voice make it very difficult to tolerate.

I didn't need to use a lot of words.

The stories are good. Not repeats off other shows as true crime shows often have. As someone who has watched every true crime show on every streaming network, I am glad to find another one. However, the legal expert, Benji Greenberg has such pronounced vocal fry (fake millennial Kardashian accent) that it's incredibly irritating every time she speaks. I can barely stand it. Beyond that, the shows decent enough. The actors seem realistic enough. T h e constant recaps kind of drag things out and it can be a little slow but that's ok. I like the show except for Greenberg's Kardashian imitation. I wish she'd stop.
