I've been watching true cases since the days of Rescue 911 and Unsolved Mysteries, but I have never, EVER seen such offensively bad re-enactments in my life. It truly does seem like the production were told they're filming sketch comedy scenes. The accents, the acting, the wigs, the costumes, the writing-the everything! When I say they make the most unintentionally hilarious of Tyler Perry productions seem like Oscar bait by comparison, I need you to take me at my word!
It's so disrespectful because they're telling about real people's trauma and deaths like they are segments in one of those 2000s parody films. But S2 E8 is exceptional in that it seems like the creators of Birth of a Nation were resurrected to tell the tale. You go from a talking-head segment of the real victim being somber to some very questionable re-enactment scenes.
Who thought this was a good idea, a sociopath? Whomever they are, they need therapy. You don't have to create entertainment with the re-enactments. Most viewers aren't there for that but to be INFORMED. One of the GOAT true crime shows, Forensic Files, kept the re-enactment footage to a minimum and focused on telling us what happened. They didn't focus on "actors" fighting for their life to maintain the most grating of fake accents and embarrassing themselves attempting to "act."
This is the peak example of the worst of true crime shows. Even YouTubers who put on makeup as they tell true crime stories are better than this dreck.
