Bloodline Detectives

The reason for my 10 rating appears after my rant and rave.

PLEASE stop the music and unecessary moderators! Why, oh why, do television shows insist on the loud, driving, irritating, DISTRACTING music throughout the show??? I have been unable to watch many interesting shows because I cannot tolerate the annoying, pointless background music. Why do we need a "host"? Why don't we need an appropriate host if we must have one? Nancy Grace adds nothing and, in fact, is a huge negative. She does not convey empathy or the solemnity of the topics, she speaks like the National Enquirer, she's loud, and for whatever reason she appears almost as a caricature of a series host. She has no function or expertise that I can see or hear. If it has to do with being a former prosecutor, it doesn't show and doesn't make her a scientist. She has nothing to do with the cases, crimes, or anyone involved. It makes me crazy to watch and listen to her just repeat what's already been said in a sensationalist tone of voice.

With that said, I find the topic of genetic genealogy extremely interesting, particularly as it applies to solving crimes. The cases covered are wide ranging and really show how incredible this technology truly is. It's worth watching - I just turn the volume low and the sub-titles on.

Nancy Grace is so obnoxious. Seriously, she's like nails on a chalkboard. Her use of incorrect terms like "sex attacked" or "sex assaulted" cheapens the show. I love the rest of the series so it's just unfortunate that such a poor choice of host was made. FFS can she please stop with the silly "tot" stuff, it takes away from the serious show content. Also, if you must use an already terrible host choice, shell out for a makeup artist. That red eyeliner is crazy. She just really detracts from the show. Whoever decided she would be a great host, should definitely be reprimanded. It was an awful choice.

The show itself is fascinating with the technology used to catch these criminals. The host though is horrible and makes it difficult to watch the entire program. I see several comments about her so called pink eyeliner but I just watched an episode and she clearly has black eyeliner. What she does have is extremely red eyes. My husband made the comment that she looks like she smokes that wacky tobaccy stuff. I'm inclined to agree. That could also explain her overdramatic way of speaking. She really does sound like she's reporting for the National Enquirer or some other sensationalist publication which is sad since these cases are very serious, sober, and heartbreaking. When the day comes that she's replaced, I'll give this show a higher rating.

I love the shows!but seriously the background music is louder than the people narrating! Can some fix this? Thanks!

She constantly uses the wrong grammar.

"Sex Assault" instead of Sexual Assault "Tot" instead of child I have to fast forward through every part she's talking and watch the parts she's not talking.

She may be smart, but she's not made for TV.

The only reason I deal with the anxiety I get when she talks is to get to the important information in the show.

Someone else needs to take her spot and this could actually be a great show to watch.

Also, I think it's season one, but she recorded the whole season in one day. I know this because I binged watched it and her clothes, hair etc never changed. SMH

This could be a really great show if she was replaced. She doesn't have the it factor or sense of empathy that should be felt by the audience when she's talking. It seems more like courtroom drama.
