True Crime Story: It Couldn't Happen Here

Keep these episodes coming. Hilarie does a great job at this. She may have producers but you can feel her genuine care when talking about these stories. She is refreshing. There are lots of crime documentaries out there to compete with. She really cares about getting the whole story out there. It has been a long time since I have seen such good factual storytelling. I hope they do updates on some of these stories. I hope Christians family finds peace. I hope they all do actually. Hilarie be proud of this work, it's fantastic. I look forward to more episodes I binge watched like 12 episodes in one night.

The show had potential to be fairly interesting. However, the host inserts herself in every way possible, and has little to add by way of informed commentary. Her reactions to interviewees seem stilted and insincere. When she interviews an expert, more focus is paid to showing her boots or her hair than to the actual statements and facial expressions of the experts themselves.

As other reviewers have stated, the stories seem to be very one-sided. There is little shrift paid to victims and their families. And the opposing viewpoints are never aired.

Additionally, none of the stories seem to have a resolution. Everything is left up in the air. As though the point of this was to just travel around small towns, rake up trouble about the past, and then leave everything the way she found it. Definitely would give this one a pass. So much more available that is better done.

I enjoyed the series. Hoping they have another season. This show really makes you question the Justice system though. It leaves you with a lot of questions.

I love watching true crime shows and this one really puts a different spin on most of the shows. I like the episodes that bring awareness to the wrongfully accused and imprisoned!

I like Hilarie Burton Morgan as the host. I dont feel like the negative comments about her are fair or just. I think she asks the questions and allows the victims families and the professionals(lawyers, investigators, police, etc) to do the majority of the talking. She does not hog the spotlight because she is famous.

I hope this show continues for more seasons because it is a really great show and I enjoy watching !

These are stories that you don't hear about on every other podcast. They are the forgotten stories. They are the every day people in non-salacious stories that need to be remembered. Hilarie Burton Morgan is every bit as good as Keith Morrison on dateline. Maybe even better because she actually sympathizes with the families. She has no obvious agenda to create a program that is salacious in anyway. She sympathizes with the victims and families at every turn. She actually tries in every way to find the facts of the case. I am so in awe of her and so proud of her for doing this. It is actually amazing to watch the show.
