Everyone looks for men to murder,but what about women? Young girls and teenage girls do it to, this show is real and makes you wonder what the women were thinking. I didn't realize how many women murderers are out there, some kill their own kids, some their husbands/boyfriends, some their friends or parents, some even random strangers. Women can be just as cruel and heartless as men can, and Deadly Women proves it. Some women kill because of jealousy, money, love, or because they have mental problems, my favorites are the women who kill for power. This show features a criminal psychologist who gives you insight to what the women were going through or feeling, and different ways their murders could have been prevented.
The format is great. Each episode includes three dramatisations all on a theme for that episode. Love the dramatisations and the expert opinions. A brilliant binge watch. I worry it could be viewed as a "how to guide".
I understand why they don't show actual photos of living perpetrators, but in many cases it would be possible. Tributes / shots of victims would be good (see BBC's 'Murder in my Family' sketch or photo with the dates of when they lived is quite poignant at the end of the program)
I read in some other reviews that this filmed in Australia - which confirmed a suspicion. Renowned British killers with an Australian accent is a bit odd. .... but we've all seen (or rather heard) our accents being "murdered" by actors from other countries - I guess it's down to budget (British Hugh Laurie in House - from what I've read Americans didn't believe it that he's English - I believe he's rather well paid for it).
Husband's a bit worried ..... I'll keep watching

Okay, okay, here is my disclaimer: I am a hardcore true crime junkie. I believe that even someone who is not as "into" true crime as I am will enjoy this show. Each episode is a triptych of women murderers with a certain theme (sometimes a little tenuous). I never realized that there were so many women killers. The series covers murderers from all the way back to the 1700s up to the present. One thing that I wish would be done differently would be to include non-Western murders, but this could be because it is hard to get medical records, coroner reports, eyewitness accounts, interviews, etc... The show is as thorough as it can be. Truly one of my very favorite shows.
PLEASE bring it back! My entire family & I, love this show and really enjoy the cast of highly experienced professionals who explain the crime documentaries in such detail. They're all magnetic and this show is addicting to watch and learn from - how to prevent dangerous dispositions from the crazies! Lol **ONE OF ID Channel's best shows ever!
