Mujeres asesinas

For the 2018 season (possibly 2017), even though this show has been going since 2004, the producers (Sharon Martin?) decided to fix something that was NOT broken. Before each commercial break the new narrator says, "Coming Up," and a fraction of a second later begins revealing spoilers. Sometimes I'm caught off guard and can't hit the mute fast enough. Other times there are false alarms -- I think the "Coming Up" is coming due to a pause in the narration, but then the show continues. This is no way to enjoy a show. What do the producers think, that viewers can't wait the duration of a commercial break to see what happens next? That they have to have the "Coming Up" previews? I mean, is it like viewers hear "Coming Up" and think, "Oh Oh Oh, Gotta see what's coming up!" even though in three minutes they'll find out? How stupid do the producers/directors think viewers are? This "Coming Up" nonsense is on the verge of being a deal breaker for what was once a very good show. It is SOOO insulting to intelligence.

As for the previous review stating that this show contains content that's difficult for her friends to watch ... this show is actually quite mild compared to some of the stuff that's on the ID Channel. It can be predictable, but the "whodunnit" aspect is not supposed to be part of the show. We all know whodunnit. What's interesting is HOW the detectives figure it out. This show was a hit before the stupid "Coming Up" spoilers. Why fix what wasn't broken?

I stopped liking it after the old narrator was replaced. Her sarcasm and wit made the show for me. Also they got rid of the good background music it was amazing, piano that drove the atmosphere, along with just a tiny bit of music that built up some dread. Also, the end credit music was changed. I can't just watch people talk and listen to that boring narrarator. The other one made me laugh! "And the prosecutor didn't think so EITHER!" I miss her and the old music!! Some of the newer stories are good so I guess I'll try to watch some before it leaves Peacock. I keep watching the older ones over and over.

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.

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.

'Snapped' is an intriguing half-hour series, currently on the Oxygen Network, that concerns female murderers. Narrated in a flat, just the facts ma'm female voice, the show takes the viewer through the crime in a prologue ("the question is, when he left, did he take a suitcase? Or was he in one?") After the credits, there's a brief biography of the killer, interaction with the victim, details of the crime, the trial, and the aftermath.

"Snapped" is very intriguing and a little like potato chips - Oxygen runs them one after the other, and after one show, you find yourself watching the next and the next.

For lovers of true crime, "Snapped" is a no-miss.
