How I Caught My Killer

I think everyone summed it up already but holy crap the music and narrator ruin the tragic stories.

It honestly feel like the director got all of their 'musician' buddies together and then paid the editor to literally slap the songs in the worst places possible. You will find yourself semi laughing at how terribly the music and stories are juxtaposed.

Plus the overdone sound effects?

I'm sorry, but I just cannot get over how terrible the editing and music are. If you watch this, watch it for the absolute absurdity that it presents.

Which is awful to say, these stories are devastating and deserve to be told with respect, but team, you dropped the ball.

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.

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.

I'm convinced this series was created solely to be a platform for solo female "singers" with terrible voices (basically vocal fry set to music) and trite lyrics to have a place to have their work showcased. If you want to listen to terrible music, play even a single episode and you'll get your fix.

It also is worth mentioning that even though this series was created for a streaming platform, it is produced like a cable show. Lots of repeating the same info and campy narration.

The victims of these brutal crimes deserve way better than this terribly produced and overdone style of true crime show.

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.
