Homicide City

Too bad you can't hear the victims trying to tell their story because of the ridiculously loud and annoying background noise/music

This show is my style of True Crime. I prefer this "version" of a reconstructed true story of a murder investigation to other shows like "Snapped", for example. It has an excellent narrator - one of the best I've ever heard - and takes a more methodical / procedural approach with describing the investigations' developments, twists and turns. It's refreshing and fascinating. The details included come directly from the (mostly now-retired) cops that worked the real life cases. This adds to the appeal and makes it feel even more authentic. Summary: Excellent Non-Fiction TV.

The first episode I saw looked promising, mainly because the show producers thankfully did not succumb to cheap tactics as seen in most ID productions these days. However, the stories offer mediocre writing, omitting important details and sequiturs, and are presented in painstakingly slow mode, featuring mostly unengaging actors. All in all - yawn to creativity.

I love this show. It shows how hard detectives work to solve senseless and brutal crimes.

Good straightforward true crime show with interviews of family members, detectives and witnesses. But I'm not sure why some of the interviews look like they're done in someone's basement with the worst possible audio and lighting.

Although I've seen some of the stories on other shows, I do like the voice of the narrator.
