Who Do You Believe?

There should be more shows like this that expose the criminals to warn others so that it can save lives. Too many people believe the lies criminals tell and it costs them on every level!

Two episodes in and what was a pretty neat premise, has dropped a deuce. The first episode was so predictable it wasn't worth the hour. Second one gives no resolution; both of the people were scummy.

I liked the idea of the show where you hear the events from both sides own mouths BUT there are a couple of problems with the show. It is usually pretty obvious who the guilty party is and then there is the abyssmal writing for the crappy narrator with the usual little nitpicky adjectives we are all used to from the media's dogwhistling newspeak. The narrator is just awful as well. Not really sure if they have ever had that kind of gig but they need some lessons or go back to Big Bad Wolf story time at the local library. The liars are poor at best and the body language alone is usually enough to give it away. That said it is a nice spin on the usual murder pr0n stuff, I just wish it could be less obvious and use more neutral language in the narration. Also a new narrator would probably be good. That guy from Oak Island or the guy that did the Dominick Dunne series would be awesome. Not the Oak Island guy I take that back. That jerk knows pretty much how the world will end at this point and yet parrots the same three sentences week after week, arranging the words in a computer lol.

One of the most useless show I have watched. After an hour I thought they were going to give us the guilty party. I would rate it as a negative number if it was offered. There is no spoiler as we were given no answer.

The presentation is a bit cheesy, but the stories are pretty well done. Most are easy to know the answer, but the narrator does lie a few times to try and trick you.

The interviews are good and a couple of the episodes have what I would call "mixed outcomes."

They even have Nichelle Nichols (Star Trek Uhura, Original Series) as an episode, so a big name story. I didn't even know her name was Nichelle until I saw the episode. I always thought it was Michelle. I heard some stuff went on with her, but now I know the details.

Overall, it's quite entertaining and worth the watch if you can handle the reality TV style narrator.
