How I Caught My Killer

The music was terrible. It really made it barely bearable. So cringey and cheesy. I can't describe it even. Monotone and this suggested emotionality. Give me a break. Can't you just tell the stories without it. I'm running out of words here. Why do I have to write that much, when I just wanted to say that the music was annoying. The music was terrible.

I think everyone summed it up already but holy crap the music and narrator ruin the tragic stories.

It honestly feel like the director got all of their 'musician' buddies together and then paid the editor to literally slap the songs in the worst places possible. You will find yourself semi laughing at how terribly the music and stories are juxtaposed.

Plus the overdone sound effects?

I'm sorry, but I just cannot get over how terrible the editing and music are. If you watch this, watch it for the absolute absurdity that it presents.

Which is awful to say, these stories are devastating and deserve to be told with respect, but team, you dropped the ball.

The cases themselves were fine and more than interesting. The true crime scene in tv is crowded and the angle this one takes is usually leveraging how that persons use of social media helped lead detectives to solving their case.

What really makes this show bad is the music and narration of this show vary episode to episode and the quality is to outright terrible voice filters to just ok/good. You can skip this show and be fine. It adds nothing new or interesting to a crowded true crime genre. And often times watching it, I felt punished for giving it a try. So overall I recommend to avoid. Many of these cases have been done better elsewhere.

I'm convinced this series was created solely to be a platform for solo female "singers" with terrible voices (basically vocal fry set to music) and trite lyrics to have a place to have their work showcased. If you want to listen to terrible music, play even a single episode and you'll get your fix.

It also is worth mentioning that even though this series was created for a streaming platform, it is produced like a cable show. Lots of repeating the same info and campy narration.

The victims of these brutal crimes deserve way better than this terribly produced and overdone style of true crime show.

I love true-crime documentaries, so I was excited to see this one as the title was promising something new.

But the series is so over the top... I know that many podcasts and documentaries use dramatization but here is just very bad. But the worst part is the lame music with lyrics like "danger follows behind" and "you got something to hide". I mean, seriously???

The whole episode is like a very bad trailer for a CSI episode that tries to attract interest but it fails badly.

If you like true crime, I don't think you'll like this one. You can give it a shot but prepare to see something very over-the-top that won't make you more interested in whatever happened. Which is sad to say as the series istalking about real crime with real victims but whenever you start to feel something for them, the bad music is on and you get annoyed instead.
