How I Caught My Killer

The show itself is quite interesting. Very sad, often quite shocking. However, the music played throughout the episodes is awful and not very well thought through. Some of the lyrics seem borderline disrespectful to the story being told. The narrators are also quite ridiculous. They bring nothing to the series other than cheesy, crime doc tropes and catchphrases. They make the series feel like a budget, Buzzfeed Web series or similar, with fresh out of college writers trying to make a name for themselves. This being said, the series is a good watch. Particularly for background noise or if you don't really want to pay too much attention.

I love true-crime documentaries, so I was excited to see this one as the title was promising something new.

But the series is so over the top... I know that many podcasts and documentaries use dramatization but here is just very bad. But the worst part is the lame music with lyrics like "danger follows behind" and "you got something to hide". I mean, seriously???

The whole episode is like a very bad trailer for a CSI episode that tries to attract interest but it fails badly.

If you like true crime, I don't think you'll like this one. You can give it a shot but prepare to see something very over-the-top that won't make you more interested in whatever happened. Which is sad to say as the series istalking about real crime with real victims but whenever you start to feel something for them, the bad music is on and you get annoyed instead.

The music was terrible. It really made it barely bearable. So cringey and cheesy. I can't describe it even. Monotone and this suggested emotionality. Give me a break. Can't you just tell the stories without it. I'm running out of words here. Why do I have to write that much, when I just wanted to say that the music was annoying. The music was terrible.

The cases themselves were fine and more than interesting. The true crime scene in tv is crowded and the angle this one takes is usually leveraging how that persons use of social media helped lead detectives to solving their case.

What really makes this show bad is the music and narration of this show vary episode to episode and the quality is to outright terrible voice filters to just ok/good. You can skip this show and be fine. It adds nothing new or interesting to a crowded true crime genre. And often times watching it, I felt punished for giving it a try. So overall I recommend to avoid. Many of these cases have been done better elsewhere.

My headline pretty much sums it up.

Its a shame because these family's deserve to have their stories told respectfully. This doesn't do that. I'm not sure what they were thinking but the pseudo dramatic narration and the god awful music that keeps interrupting the story line every 5 minutes makes this almost unbearable to watch.

Its like listening to a child tell a story to then be interrupted by music for no reason, and that music to be totally inappropriate for the setting. In one episode the music said something along the lines of 'I'd rather die' or 'let me die' something like that...wow.

I'm assuming the writers/editors thought they were doing something new and innovative. They didn't.
