Snapped - Wenn Frauen töten

What can I say after that?... You have to watch it.

Snapped is a documentary program that tells us the true stories of women accused of murder. We learn a little about their lives prior to them meeting the murder victim, be it their husband, boyfriend, lover or the other woman. These women range from stay-at-home moms, grocery clerks, school teachers, law students, politicians to fashion designers; working class, upper class, wealthy. Social status doesn't matter.

We also learn about their lives with the victims and what drove them to murder. Their motives for murder are as varied as their social status. These women commit murder to collect on a large life insurance policy, to gain child custody, to get rid of an unfaithful or abusive husband or the suspect is an unfaithful wife choosing murder over divorce.

If you enjoy programs like Forensic Files, First 48 and Captured, you'd definitely enjoy Snapped.

These newer episodes are so hard to watch because of the boring narration and slow story flow. SNAPPED really underestimated the importance of a good narrator to make the storyline easy to follow and exciting to watch. It use to be so hard NOT to complete an episode because I needed to know how the case turned out. Snapped on Sundays use to be my favorite thing. Now it has become completely unbearable to get through an episode. Watching and listening to this new narrator is unbearable. Change the narrator and go back to the older format! There is an old saying "If it aint broke, don't fix it".

The show is interesting and fairly well put together. They do go over the same things many time so you only need to watch the second half and you will get all the info. The narrator is a horrible speaker. She stresses weird parts of sentences and adds unnecessary words at the end of a lot of sentences. One could say "he had a job". This narrator "he had a job too". " She had been charged with battery" or "she had been charged with battery too" she is staying a single fact, not giving a list. She uses literally often.

Whenever a person won't cooperate with the police this is explained by saying that neighborhood doesn't trust the police stressing that they are poor and criminals. The cops should also stress that they don't cooperate because of years and years of verbal and physical abuse inflicted upon the citizens.

Someone new needs to write what the narrator says. She is horrible too. Lmao.

At some point they expanded episodes to an hour and they didn't need to. I like this show, but the narrator is constantly repeating herself, summarizing, and reexplaining everything. It's one thing to do that after commercials, but to do it the entire hour is really irritating.
