True Life: Crime

I'm new to this show, so I've seen just a few episodes. In the first two that I watched, I didn't notice the anti-police comments. But the program definitely wants the viewers to know their opinion of law enforcement...to the point it's mentioned numerous times throughout the show. The police were incompetent; the officers didn't care; evidence was ignored or disregarded...etc. We the viewers are intelligent enough to form our own opinions, and labeling all law enforcement as "bad" is irresponsible. And as a "journalist," the host should be held to a higher standard of reporting and represent ALL sides of the story, not just the one that underscores his own feelings.

As soon as I saw MTV, I knew there would never be anything that even comes close to the truth. The first episode doesn't even have a crime! It's the family believing it MUST be a crime. Talk about denial. Episode two is nothing more than head shots of Catfish eyeballing the camera. Not sure what that has to do with a crime. But then that's most likely MTV thinking all of America is nothing more than illiterate tweens. I love a good documentary, unfortunately, this isn't one of them. Not even close. MTV should stick to what it does best, fool teenagers into giving them money.

As another reviewer has mentioned, the first episode answers itself in the first 10 seconds of explaining what "crime" happened, which was tragic but definately not worth an episode. granted episode 2 is better than the first, it is highly dramatized and they go over the same information time and time again for what seems just to make the episode long enough- i'm sorry to everyone who worked on the show, the host journalist is actually really good, but that is basically the only positive thing i can say about this show. definately not worth a watch. and what the heck is the guy from MTV's Catfish doing in this show? he only serves the purpose of talking for 20-30 seconds before each episode with lots of weird headmovement and eyecontact with the camera.

The first episode was essentially a write off. A close and shut case of a horrible accident but the family is seriously delusioned thinking foul play was involved in any way. They tried to make this case a platform for their race issues which totally is offensive considering the hard work put in by the police. We will see what happens with the next episode but the first was embarrassing and didn't depict a "true crime" story at all. What is the purpose of the program ?

Definitely think the other reviewers should have watched more than one or two episodes before writing this show off. It 100% gets better with each one they make. Love Dometi and love how Nev intrudes the show. Hope they make more.
