A Time to Kill

About as exciting as watching a paint dry. Tediously done, badly written & produced. The ID execs would greatly benefit by watching an episode or two of any show done by Keith Morrison who manages to turn even the most uneventful story into attention-grabbing narrative.

Let me start by saying I like the format of the show and how it lays the crime line down and unfolds it to it's predictable end of revealing the killer but it really cheapens the show when the narrator drops the killers name then show a picture of the actor who's playing or acting the part of said killer then will show pictures of the actors in group photos with other actors and have the narrator say something about the victim and her friends.. They've gone far enough as to blur out other actors in group photos of the actor who's playing the evil murderer. In this latest season they've used this same actor in back to back episodes and in one he's passed off as a 17 year old kid but this "kid" was 17 yrs old 17 years ago. If the show isn't using real images because the victims families refuse it then they shouldn't even attempt to make that episode or at LEAST make it known that when the dramatic reveal is shown your usually NOT seeing the actual murderer instead they're showing you an actor who's probably going to be involved in several different murders in several different states at several different moments in time in the coming season. Truth be told there are podcast that put in more production value then some of these so-called true crime TV shows..

Try creating episodes that have different races & ethnicities - watched a few episodes - didn't see any other races! Boring!!!! When you have educated people of different races provide perspective it makes for a better show and invites everyone to watch. I give a show a few chances and if I don't see a true representation of the world. I move on....

These have got to be the laziest producers on the ID network. Every case has been portrayed on another ID network show. Instead of putting in the work and finding unique crime cases, they just repackage cases we have already seen. Pathetic!! Plus, they add these "experts" who add absolutely nothing to the show.

If you watch true crime shows on ID, you will learn that there have been very few murders in the last few decades. So few have been covered--murders just as or more devastating than the ones covered. Per murder stats, there never needs to be a repeat, and very few murders are pretty. Every cop claims their murder to be the most disturbing. Hon, you ain't seen nothin' yet. And if it's up to ID, we never will. If you want to be a hero, do it without a paycheck and get off the camera.
