Das Medium und der Cop - Paranormale Fälle

I've been watching The Dead Files since it began. I find Amy to be very believable.

One reviewer gave one example of why he felt Amy was a fake. Amy said a helicopter crash involved it "spinning", yet he researched it & it clipped a mountain & exploded, instead.

Any is seldom 100% accurate. There are, more often than not, some inconsistencies between her information & Steve's research. It is for that reason that I find her credible. If she were spot on every time, I would be suspicious. I doubt any medium is 100% accurate. Her accuracies & inaccuracies both convince me she's the real deal.

Yes, she does have a potty mouth sometimes & yes, she's a little quirky at times. Sometimes she's on the show with makeup & sometimes with no makeup at all. The fact that she's not polished tells me she's not putting on any acts; just being herself. The first season, she was waaay out there. I don't know if the producers urged her to act that way, but it didn't last long.

The discussion about this show seems to turn on whether it's "real" or not. I propose that it doesn't really matter. If you think it's fake, pretend that the legal disclaimer at the beginning says that the show is fictional, and enjoy a reality-TV-style drama about a medium and a cop who work together. Personally I think it's (mostly) real, but that's unimportant.

I find this show absolutely titillating because of the excellent storytelling. Most reality TV is carefully edited to make conversations flow just a little better (without necessarily changing their meanings), and they do it quite deftly here, interweaving the two story lines (that is, Steve and Amy) in a way that delights my brain when I want instant gratification. The (writers? producers?) throw down all the pieces of the puzzle in perfect order without quite connecting them; they let your imagination fill in the final, tiny gaps with the kind of lurid details that everyone's thinking but no one can say for sure. Steve gets what essentially amounts to the town gossip on the subject, and Amy embroiders them with colourful, often illuminating, and just a little bit graphic details.

Don't worry about reality. Take the homeowner's story at face value and enjoy the mystery's shocking solution!

Started watching this series and wonder, as I do about all these types shows, why do they only investigate at night? I know from experience that spirits come out in the daytime as well. And why in almost every episode is there a spirit who wants to kill people or make people kill people? And why are there Never any nice spirits? Not everyone who passed is evil.

I love this show. Amy and Steve are great. The reason I gave it 7 stars is because at the end of the show, the situation is left undone and dangerous. The activity usually continues. A heap of really scary information about what's happening is given to families, as well as advice about how to clear the space.. The majority of families can't find shamans, reiki masters and mediums to do these clearings. It is very, very hard to find people with gifts to do these types of clearings. I would love the producers to bring in people to clear the spaces and incorporate in the clearings in the show.

Thank you to Cindy for co-hosting this show. I have a very hard time relating with Amy or taking anything she says seriously as she tends to smile at inappropriate moments ie. " He's evil" while grinning. Part of the job, especially when dealing with already traumatized people, so more sensitivity is required than that. Although Amy may indeed feel very bad for these people but it doesn't translate, and Infact comes off like she's mocking their situation. If I were the client and saw that, I'd send her packing. Cindy, on the other hand comes off as very sympathetic and sincere and her empathy registered in her face. Please make her the host more often.
