Real Detective

I love this show! The actual detective narrates, and the actors so far are spot on!!!

Loved every episode, was an amazing re-enactment, and the characters really seemed realistic. Sad stories did make me cry, especially when it was talking about children's murders, but it was amazing to be able to see how the detectives and sergeants were able to bring the killers to justice.

I have often been tearful by the end of an episode as the stories told by the detective involved has obviously had an enormous impact on their own personal lives. They have lived and breathed the case, often sacrificing their own happiness in their private lives, either with family, or the battle with some form of alcoholic addiction needed to cope and numb the pain. You cannot help but feel for these policemen who have dedicated so much mentally to get justice for the victims, who are often children, which makes it even more heartbreaking as the empathetic viewer I am. Only a few true crime documentaries have ever had me so hooked. Another of note being "Homicide Hunter" with Lt Joe Kenda. These stories will have you hooked from start to finish!

I wasn't sure to watch it l, but from the first episode I was enjoying and surprised by the cast, image and great narrative of the show.

I have really enjoyed both season 1 and 2 and cannot wait for season 3. The depiction of real crimes re-enacted and narrated by those who investigated them is an excellent concept and makes for enjoyable viewing. Anyone who is involved in law enforcement, forensics, legal, crime stories, corrections etc, will be able to relate to stories told. I found myself in trenched in the easy to follow episodes. I highly recommend watching both seasons. Well done to those involved
