The First 48

I watch The First 48 every day (old and new episodes). I have been addicted to this show from the very beginning. I'm surprised to learn that the popularity is declining. This is surprising given that the Tulsa crew (added more recently) is so awesome! They work together and seem to solve most of their cases. Of all the cities added in recent years, Tulsa has been the one to watch. I'm not taking anything away from Charlotte, Atlanta, Rochester or any of the others, but that Tulsa crew is dynamic!! I will always be a First 48 fan (13 years and I'm still hooked). The First 48 is my #1 show!!!

I enjoy watching documentaries about real topics and events. Especially those about search and rescue, law enforcement and investigations. To me, this is by far the BEST reality series I've seen.

I believe this is the 2nd or 3rd season and I am hooked completely. No CSI Miami here this is the real deal. Very intriguing from start to finish and it shows how the homicide units of different police department across the USA, really work. Highly recommended if you are a reality/true crime buff. I only wish they would come out with more episodes as I have seen everyone, some 2 or 3 times as A and E shows them throughout the week. My favorite season was the first and some of the real life characters are on other documentaries on A and E. The show takes you from the moment the call comes in until the solving of the cases and all the internal work that goes into gathering evidence and following leads. Also the interrogation of suspects is spotlighted in each episode. Once you watch one episode it will be on your DVR list for sure.

I have watched this show for forever...I love everything about the detectives and police finding the guilty and having them prosecuted...I am so used to the musical theme of The First 48...PLEASE DON'T CHANGE IT...it is soothing for some reason...I am thinking because I know there are good guys out there protecting all of us and putting away all the evil people.

If there is one true crime series for buffs you need to watch, it is this one.

Raw and disturbing but what makes it stand out from others is just how real the people are - victims, criminals and the hardworking, tireless detectives and emergency services.

I have watched every single episode of each season and will say it is my fav series. Appreciate it may not be for everyone but for those who do have the interest, it is a series that will stay with you long after the episodes finish. As they say fact can be stranger (and scarier) than fiction. This is the proof.

Thanks to the production team behind this series - perfect in every sense of the word.
