Bloodline Detectives

Love this show, except for Nancy Grace, and her calling kids "tot girl" like the episode on "Delta Dawn" the formerly unidentified toddler found dead, her awful makeup, and the repeated parts of the story. They really have enough information, there doesn't need to be a host, especially not Nancy Grace who I find so harsh & unsympathetic. And get her a new makeup artist. I never thought those type of things, like "catchphrases" or makeup would make me poorly review a show but with Nancy Grace apparently it does, een her voice feels very uncaring. I know she's done good work &has a sad past that got her into crime but she takes away from the good work of this show.

Most of the cases are interesting, some are incredible. But with Nancy Grace and Brian Oxman narrating, it comes across as a carny show. They are not even master showmen, just fools gold with a little glittter that masquerades as the real thing. I can tolerate Grace because everyone knows her heavy-handedness is her trademark, and her elaborate and somewhat bizarre makeup (like red eyeliner) and the way she forces exaggeration on the viewer is just part of the show. Oxman, though, is a puffy-eyed bag of gas who should have bowed out with his supposed client Michael Jackson. Now I know why he was disbarred.

The crime here is these are real crimes, real suffering families, really hard work by 100's of investigators and detectives, and the show is a great public service announcement to share your DNA...but Grace and Oxman insist on beating their own drums. As if the show is an advertisement for their outrageous and overblown personalities. Buffoons. It is shameful. Whoever did the casting should be stripped of the right to ever cast another show.

Also, the cascade of rushing music in the background is annoying and detracts from the narrative. I admit, I'm half way through season three and will continue to watch till the end. But that is despite Grace and Oxman, not because they add anything of value to the show.

I love the shows!but seriously the background music is louder than the people narrating! Can some fix this? Thanks!

The reason for my 10 rating appears after my rant and rave.

PLEASE stop the music and unecessary moderators! Why, oh why, do television shows insist on the loud, driving, irritating, DISTRACTING music throughout the show??? I have been unable to watch many interesting shows because I cannot tolerate the annoying, pointless background music. Why do we need a "host"? Why don't we need an appropriate host if we must have one? Nancy Grace adds nothing and, in fact, is a huge negative. She does not convey empathy or the solemnity of the topics, she speaks like the National Enquirer, she's loud, and for whatever reason she appears almost as a caricature of a series host. She has no function or expertise that I can see or hear. If it has to do with being a former prosecutor, it doesn't show and doesn't make her a scientist. She has nothing to do with the cases, crimes, or anyone involved. It makes me crazy to watch and listen to her just repeat what's already been said in a sensationalist tone of voice.

With that said, I find the topic of genetic genealogy extremely interesting, particularly as it applies to solving crimes. The cases covered are wide ranging and really show how incredible this technology truly is. It's worth watching - I just turn the volume low and the sub-titles on.

Please get Nancy Grace off this show! First of all, her awful red eye liner is the worst makeup I have ever seen in a tv show! What are the producers thinking??? It really looks like a Halloween makeup and she has a scarry look. Frankenstein or a vampire comes to mind when watching, really!!! It just takes the focus off the program! But most important is the awful and bad narrative, she completely destroys the show! When I watch the episodes, I can't enjoy what is being said because Nancy Grace is the worst show host ever!!! She always talks as a very angry and frustrated person. We can not try to listen to what is being said because of her tone!!! She justs ruins this wonderful detective show!!! I love the topics and the way all detectives explain what happened, and how it was solved, but Nancy Grace sucks! Can't you get a better show host like the ones on Dateline or On the case with Paula Zhan??? Please get Nancy Grace off this wonderful detective show because she justs completly ruins it and I would just like to enjoy the program for what it really is. I sincerly think you are losing loads of watchers! I wish I could enjoy the program with an adequate host!!!
