I watched the first 4 episodes of this, the narration is good and it features in depth assesment of the killer and the victim with good directing specially in the end..

If you like 48 hours and other crime reality shows, this is up your alley too...

8/10 stars

This show is actually quite compelling. I have seen so many true crime series, so I've developed a taste for the good and the bad. I will stop a show/series especially true crime series, if they aren't interesting.

I'm now on season 2 episode 4. In stayed up watching last night till 5am, and woke up desperate to see more the next day. I'm binging big time on this show.

It's interesting stories, very well put together and very well filmed and constructed. This is truly good tv! Very good at showing the humanity of the victim and always includes their families, so it's very emotionally addictive. Love it.

Very well done! Each episode has some resolution eventually. Sometimes it's 10+ years later. But it feels good to know these murders were caught. The stories are told in a tasteful and compassionate way, with all the family and friends being a part of the story, you get to know the people. It also makes it terribly sad but as someone with a horribly murdered loved one, it resonates with me very much. I think they're cathartic for me. Def one of the best of true crime that I've watched.

Great show! I originally thought the direction of this series wasn't laid out right, but as the series went on into more seasons, they hit the nail on the head with the story and narration. A must watch for every true crime lover!!

Fascinating, in-depth true crime stories; however, I have seen several episodes with careless typos in the screen title cards ("supect" instead of "suspect," "tounge" instead of "tongue"). The show needs a proofreader!

I just couldn't get past the shaky camera work. It's very distracting, and the details of the stories are not 100% accurate, and is based on biased accounts.

This series is pretty typical of the true crime format: You hear the details from loved ones of the victims while police fill in the rest. Unlike some series of this type there is very little recreation of the events that are being described, probably due to a relatively small budget.

Drone photography has made way more of these shows possible, because even with a small budget you can get sweeping, dramatic landscape shots without much money spent. And the landscape shots in this show are impressive.

Unfortunately, due to a lack of recreations and the small budget, it's all the other non-drone photography that falls short in this series. There are so so many shots, weird random shots of the subjects being interviewed. There must be some directive from the producers that they get a lingering slow motion shot of everyone's backside. There are also tons of random shots of people doing their jobs. Feeding cows. Cutting the grass. Making biscuits. Just a lot of whatever camera work while someone talks in the background.

The production itself is also sloppy in that some of the details are just wrong. Incorrect dates displayed on the screen. Typos. Kind of amateur hour.

The stories themselves are okay, most are easy to follow and tell a concise narrative.

But with so many true crime shows out there, this one is among the sloppiest I've seen.

Just watched my first episode. I thought it was pretty good until I googled the news reports and found out the show totally changed the story.
