Finally Caught

The concept of this series is good and the cases are definitely interesting, however the "experts" are completely unnecessary.

The concept of focusing on lesser known older cold cases that are finally solved is great. I've watched several episodes about cases I had never seen before or knew anything about.

What doesn't work are the plethora of " experts" giving a synopsis every episode. These "experts" are unnecessary when there is also a narrator. The worst offender is the forensic expert, Christine Hannah, who talks with a breathy affect as if someone punched her in the throat. I literally want to gauge my ears out every time she's on screen. The other "experts" seem to recite commentary as middle schoolers giving an oral book report, they're a bit to excited about murder.

Hopefully there will be more seasons, just without these unnecessary cast members that ruin the serious nature of the show.

I came on here to figure out why the forensic specialist on the show sounds breathless and like her breath is being forced out. I haven't found any answers, but I agree with several other posters. Her manner of speaking distracts from the information she is conveying. It's an interesting show, but hard to listen to.

I like the details that they reveal and the show's overall format. However, some of the reinactments are clearly low budget. The episode featuring Thomas Mitchell has some terrible props. Judith Flagg is carrying a bundle with a horrible quality wig sticking out the top and it's meant to be her 8-month-old son.

The show is actually pretty good for a New true crime series. But it's PAINFUL to watch/listen to Christine Hannah. Please get a new expert to fill that spot if you create a new a season. Her contribution is dull, lifeless, and exhaustingly boring. The viewer is jolted out of the story and investigative procedure whenever her commentary comes in. Getting rid of her segments without a replacement would be better than having her in each episode. I hate to be so harsh but I have quit watching this show after about 1/2 of an episode each attempt (I tried watching 3 times) because it's so difficult to watch. And as a true crime junkie... there isn't much I wouldn't watch.

So-called expert Christine Hannah ruins the show. If she is an "expert" you can add being a boring expert at reading on camera, never looking at it, and even misarticulating a few words here and there. The producers of this series had a good concept but i don't know why they didn't pull this commentator. A crash test dummy has more personality and character after it impacts the test wall than this person. I thing single-handedly she tanked the show and there are no more seasons.

Also, after returning from every commercial break, they recap events for two to three minutes, which just fills time needlessly and makes it even more ploddingly boring.

How in the world was Christine Hannah selected to have a speaking role on this show? Simply horrible! Sounds like she has a mouthful of marbles. Combine that with zero personality behind what she says and I cringe when she speaks! Surely there were other choices. I have seen her on a few other shows and didn't understand it then. There are many other narrators on the show that speak beautiful and do not hurt the overall flow this otherwise good show.

If she is paid for this narration whatever she receives is too much. I am sure there are iewers that could do a better job and appear for free, in case the budget is the issue!
