Murder Chose Me

Unlike certain reviewers, I appreciate the back story on Detective Demery. This show is about what made him the detective he became. Part of that is his background. His passion for justice and his compassion for the victims families are some of the qualities that make him and this show great. John Nicholson, the actor that portrays Detective Demery, is so well cast. Many times I have forgotten he was the actor and not Demery! I hope this show is renewed because this has become my favorite show on ID channel.

Great cast...great episodes. I love getting a lot of backstory on the real life detective!

I very much appreciate the sincerity of this show. I find his back story very interesting and a relevant backdrop to the series. It's also not over-acted like many shows in this genre these days. I hope this one stays around a while. I'm a fan. I've never reviewed anything on here before--my positive reaction to this show prompted me to do so.

Murder Chose Me is not your average true crime series. The look, sound, feel, energy immediately sets it apart from the rest. From the promotional clips announcing this new series in 2017, you knew you were in for something different. Detective Demery's compassionate and heartfelt narration coupled with John Nicholson's brilliant portrayal is as compelling as storytelling gets. Both of these men are bringing someone's true life heartbreak to light while honoring those families by showcasing these tragedies respectfully and with integrity and grace. The direction, writing, photography all contribute to this being an all around first rate production. I hope to be able to watch this groundbreaking series for a long, long time.

I saw this advertised with the picture of Rod Demery and I decided to watch a show. My first impression was that I understood why he was able to have such a success rate as a Detective after hearing his voice and watching how he walked. His voice is very soothing and he reminds me of one of the large cats stalking its prey. I enjoyed how the Director went back and forth between the two men. I thought the acting was superb. John Nicholson was able to portray Rod Demery perfectly but as his own perception of Rod Demery. As for them looking alike. I don't think they look anything alike. There facial features are different specifically their eyes. I enjoy watching Rod Demery's facial expressions when he is speaking. I think it explains a lot about the man. I hope I see John Nicholson in more rolls because he is an excellent actor! Am looking forward to next season!
