Vh1's My True Crime Story

Really, Remy Ma? As a the narrator of this show, she definitely makes all of these real life criminals sound like heros. Probably because she falsely believes she is a hero after her own conviction. There is very little in this show that points to how these crimes destroyed not just the life of the criminal, but lives of the victims. This is exactly what is wrong in society today and how young people get caught up in scamming, drug dealing, etc. When will people stop glorifying crime??? This show is unacceptable and disappointing.

One story touches on a scammer in the DMV that only got 1 year in a plush federal prison, making scamming look like an easy crime. I really could not stand how Remy Ma glorified this scammer in particular. Her narrative kept encouraging the scammer's behavior.

Everyone has choices in life, but shows like these need to take some accountability. It's a reminder how bad society has become and the fact that criminals and uneducated people seem to be the most famous. Rather than truly talented artists.

I was 'done' after one episode of this show, but I watched one more just to see if it got any better. Spoiler: It didn't.

The show opens with the line, "How far would you go to come up within a system built to hold you down? These are the true stories who had good intentions but got caught up by bad decisions."

If that's not a lesson on how to frame a story, I don't know what is. So, it's "the SYSTEM" that's holding these people down, because they had good intentions when they stole a bunch of electronics, and just got caught up in a bad decision, or rather...they simply got caught. Both episodes I watched framed the story this way. Glorifying the crime with some sassy narration as if crime is justified if it's filled with passion. Please.

Why VH1 thought this would be an inserting show is baffling. Unless they want to show all the up and coming thugs and con artist that they can get a on TV once they are caught and serve time for their crimes!

Remy Ma narrating this is just weird. It's almost like she's ad-libbing the story. Just coming all in random. The stories are alright. I get it, they want to cover true crime from a "hood" point of view but, they could have made the stories a little more personal without Remy adding an ad lib. You see how their environment impacted their decisions.

I also get that the narration is trying to make it seem as if the decisions these people were making have some form of innocence to them. People make their own decisions and no one in any of these episodes is innocent. We can sympathize with their story without making it seem like someone was in the wrong for turning them in.

I don't understand why the ratings are this low. The stories that they tell are entertaining and yes Remi can be a little corny and the acting seems staged but, overall the story line is great and thorough. I hope this series continues for years to come.
