    It makes me Dizzy

    Photography is too fast , clips too many , watching this program makes me dizzy. They take a bunch of facts and throw them against the wall to see if they stick , but before you can decide, they flash another scene before you eyes . They have some interesting crimes but the presentation is jerky and tiring to watch. I don't think that they are presenting this for the viewer , just taking random clips and pasting them together to call it a show , so they can run commercials. If you think I don't like ,you would be correct. This show was made by a film editor in the back room with no feedback .Unless you have good eye sight , please be careful watching this.

    Not Too Bad

    This show is alright, I enjoy watching it and the many shows like it. But like a previous reviewer stated, some of the information (in the series) is either incorrect/wrong or has changed and not updated. The most confusing part about the series are the episodes and the order they're suppose to run - the IMDb Episode guide is totally different to others, and seems to have episode titles that either hasn't been shown and/or never existed.

    Hi Mary

    Please pay the nine thousand dollar judgment you owe me, and pay all your workers you owe money to for that matter, hope Dubai is treating you well, thx.

    Weak...

    Fast, often weak erroneous details. Just a quick choppy recap of countless other shows on the same crimes. Terrible wall reading script detail experts. Wastes/fills alot of time with these terrible wall reading experts that we don't need that just the narrator alone could do better. In case you have missed these crimes in countless other episodes as mentioned then HOPEFULLY you have a pause or rewind button to catch the lightning fast blurb(s) at the end telling you what you really wanted to know all along on what became of the criminals with sentencing.
