The Murder Tapes

Love the fact that this show uses police recorded interviews and body cam footage to tell the story.

This is really well done. No long boring narrations. Just facts and live video footage. Enjoy!

Having only seen the first episode so far, this looks to be a better than average offering in the true crime genre simply because it uses a fair amount of actual video & audio recordings instead of relying exclusively on the cheesy re-enactments so often used in other series. If future episodes are as good or better than the premier this series has good potential, although one hopes the producers can dig up some interesting cases that haven't already been profiled elsewhere and that they resist the urge to treat viewers like idiots, as is the case with many offerings in this type of show.

I watch every single investigation show on tv. If you are obsessed like me you know that a lot of shows just reuse old stories and edit them differently. This show does not! All new stories. The best editing I've seen in a long time. Lots and lots of different kinds of footage and real audio which sets this apart from all other shows. Many shows use the same clips over and over and drag out the story or use reenactments. This show uses Officer bodycam which makes you feel like you can do your own investigating from the beginning, seeing the crime scene and talking to witnesses/suspects. So good!

I've watched many episodes and I am hooked. The narrator is great, the eerie music is perfectly timed, the format is consistent and chronologically bang on, the drone views are excellent for the viewer to get the lay of the land and actual locations of events and the interviews of Officers are so well done. A-plus and I hope this series continues cause it shows us what happens in real life. I've watched other crime shows like American Justice and Cold Case Files and those were my favourite when Bill Curtis did all the narration as well as Peter Thomas. They will always be the best but now those shows are not the same without them so I've gone elsewhere and happy to find Murder Tapes. Excellent portrayal of how police process a murder from start to finish. Well done.
