Heartland Homicide

If there's ever a series two of this show (which I enjoy), please please oh please get rid of Benji Greenberg! Her speech and voice-especially that vocal fry-is just so annoying that it detracts from the story being presented. There are, I'm sure, plenty other lawyers who can do what she's doing. Otherwise, the show is fairly and clearly depicted. And I really like that it's mainly small towns and not metropolises. (And almost every town's inhabitant who's been interviewed has said, "things like this don't happen here." Sadly, they've been wrong. I do hope there are more shows, just not with that attorney.

The one positive about this series is that they present interesting cases. Other than that, the show is not good. (1) It is very, very slow and extremely repetitive - they repeat the same points over and over again. (2) The information presented is not always accurate. For example, in one episode they show a person using a hammer to commit a murder, and repeat this "fact" over and over again. However, upon checking the case court records, I found that there was no hammer used - it was a pipe. I think they put the hammer in for effect, which is lame. Nobody wants to have to check facts when watching a true crime series. (3) The reenactments are also very poor (bad direction, bad "actors", bad in general). And, last but not least: Benji Greenberg (the legal expert) and her voice/manner of speaking have to go. Her vocal fry is so annoying that it absolutely ruins anything positive about the show. I found myself dreading her appearance in each of the episodes I watched (five in total). This is the reason I ultimately stopped watching the show. I would voluntarily listen to fingernails dragged over a chalkboard for a year straight before I listen to one more second of her voice. Think Donald Duck with structured vocal fry and you have hit the bullseye - yes, it is that bad.

The show is good. However, I can't stand Benji Greenberg's nasal voice. Her unnecessary comments & voice make it very difficult to tolerate. My mother taught me to speak from the diaphragm. Nasal speech is a form of childhood whining. The show is good. However, I can't stand Benji Greenberg's nasal voice. Her unnecessary comments & voice make it very difficult to tolerate.

I didn't need to use a lot of words.

I enjoy this series but they need to replace the female lawyer, Benji Greenberg. This woman's mouth and voice drive me crazy and I'm glad I'm not the only one! I fast forward it when she starts talking. Another thing that makes me nuts is the constant, repetitive music played throughout these shows. They also at times have 4 people saying the SAME EXACT THING, all in a row! Some of these 45 minute shows could be done in 20 minutes. The show, Paranormal Witness, has the psychic investigator repeating what the victim of the haunting literally JUST said! There's no need for this. Please stop it!!

Get some competent, un-weird/obnoxious/samctimonious "commentators" with some experience outside of Canada. Things work different in the U. S., and some of the "experts" seem to be oblivious in that regard.

Between the woman who appears to be gasping and laboring with every syllable, the motor mouth lawyer and the way too hypocritical former RCMP guy espousing the virtues of indigenous people (in spite of the RCMP's woeful history of callous indifference to the plight of said people), this is just a lame attempt at appearing relevant and sincere.

It's a great concept and there are unfortunately far too many cases for subject matter but the "credentials" of the spokespeople are inadequate.
