CIA: Crime Investigation Australia

Steve Liebmann leads an incredibly in-depth and compelling factual series based on Australia's most infamous crime. Ivan Milat: The Backpacker Murders episode in particular was a stand out for the haunting re-enactments. A must watch for true-crime lovers. I rate this series ten out of ten.

I watch true crime a lot but this show is over the top. The acting is shocking but what bothers me the most is they reinact too much of what the victim went through and how. It feels really disrespectful to the victim and the families that might one day watch it.

They are many true crime shows that do reinactions but they do voiceovers over the gruesome parts, there's no need to show it. I don't know, there are better ways to tell such an unfortunate story. Keep it respectful to the victims and families.

Constant flashing effects between motion. Very tiresome to watch. People who made this documentary don't care about watchers' eyes. They think the more flashes they add, the more trendy the movie becomes. Wrong. After couple of minutes of watching it makes you turn off the whole farce. Constant flashing effects between motion.

After couple of minutes of watching it makes you turn off the whole farce. So don't buy these on streaming as on on youtube you can watch sample of this dreadful production. Docus from 0s or 80s are much better.

Most of the foreign documentaries I watched in my childhood were dubbed in this way, The dubbing sounds very comfortable. The Season 1episode 4 Backpacker Butcher, The actor who played the murderer touched the breasts of 2 actresses, at 19:02 and 38:16; The Season 1 episode 6, there is an actress who takes off her underwear halfway, at 21:57.

The above reviews were generated using translation software.

The narration and production of the show are professional. The presentation of cases is straightforward, with very little suspense or mystery. In that way, the show remains honourable to the victims of the crimes, but the reenactments counter that. The reenactments are mostly gratuitous and depict a lot of suffering. You feel outraged and sickened, which becomes difficult to take after one or two episodes. You can't really binge this show like you can with Forensic Files.

It's worth watching, but I'd describe it as unpleasant.
