See No Evil

Although obsessed with the ID channel, this is my favorite series on it. I think that's because you get to see the movements of the guilty and follow the investigation with real live video and not a story retold and acted out by actors in which they're retelling a series of events that may or may not happened. This series is almost as if we are there with the police, solving the case with them. It also shows us how surveillance cameras are a necessity and are saving lives. I was always one of those people who didn't want "big bother" watching my every move. After watching this show, I'm basically like "wait... I never do anything shady or illegal so what am I afraid of?" ... followed up by a "put surveillance cameras everywhere!" and cameras with far better image quality. Although it wouldn't be such a popular idea, make the cameras a socialist type program where we all pay into it much like we do with police, fire, military, schools, etc. This show really opened my eyes to the importance of surveillance videos and cameras are used to save lives, solve murders & all other forms of crimes.

Having seen some of the latest episodes, ive come to the conclusion that this is some of the best real crime documentary ive ever seen. its merely the connection to the victim you get through videosurveillance, and interwievs with the family and friends of the victims that really moves the gutter and overrims the tear cup of grief. also the way that police comments and tells their story, along with suspects interviews in or outside the interrogation room are extreme to watch.

to all that are left behind,losin a son, brother sister mum daughter,husband etc, remember we''ll grieve with you all for ever.

I have only watched season 2 on Netflix and I love the stories chosen. They explain everything really well and use family and friends to talk about the victim.

However the downsides are that they play the footage over and over which is a bit excessive and the dialogue is very repetitive. The amount of time spent on telling us how great footage is and constantly referring to the security cameras is over the top. I found myself after a couple of episodes getting frustrated because they seem to state the obvious and repeat the same lines.

Some of the lower scored reviews confuse me. Quite a few of them talk about the background music/sounds being very annoying. I just watched a few episodes not even 2 hours ago and I cannot remember hearing background music. LOL.

Another peeve of some reviewers is the bad acting. I have yet to find a true crime show with good acting. LOL A lot of repeating scenes....yeah...definitely. But for me it's not nearly annoying enough for me to stop watching.

Everything considered this is still probably my top choice for true crime shows. 👍

The one reason I like this show so much is the actual REAL footage shown. It absolutely FACINATES me (and is soooo creepy!!) to see real footage. I don't remember exactly when I found this show, but from what I remember this is one of the first shows I had seen that included real footage. I was hooked and was so upset when I ran out of episodes. I am SOOOOO glad that new episodes are airing.

This show does an amazing job at getting the actors to look like the people depicted in the show. The locations look authentic and so does the acting. It is also done in such a way to where it is not distasteful or disrespectful to the real victims. It keeps you guessing till the end who the killer is. It digs deep into the story line and provides proper background so viewers are able to follow easily while still being entertained. If you're a fan of real mysteries and re-enactments then this show is perfect for you. So sit back and enjoy the amazing hard work and show your respect to those who were lost in these episodes.
