Heartland Homicide

I can't stand this woman. Her voice is grating. She has that inflection at the end of her sentences where she seems to be asking questions and then sounds like she's putting off a little growl. She absolutely does not bring a thing to the show except extreme annoyance. And her mouth seems to have a life of its own, in fact, it seems that her mouth swallows her face! The show itself isn't bad but PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, pick better experts. As one other reviewer noted, Benji has a nasal voice, makes unnecessary comments and basically makes ME want to commit murder in the heartland. Please if this show renews (and I'm hoping it does), please omit Benji. If you've got to have a legal expert, please hire someone else. Do better vetting.

If there's ever a series two of this show (which I enjoy), please please oh please get rid of Benji Greenberg! Her speech and voice-especially that vocal fry-is just so annoying that it detracts from the story being presented. There are, I'm sure, plenty other lawyers who can do what she's doing. Otherwise, the show is fairly and clearly depicted. And I really like that it's mainly small towns and not metropolises. (And almost every town's inhabitant who's been interviewed has said, "things like this don't happen here." Sadly, they've been wrong. I do hope there are more shows, just not with that attorney.

Get some competent, un-weird/obnoxious/samctimonious "commentators" with some experience outside of Canada. Things work different in the U. S., and some of the "experts" seem to be oblivious in that regard.

Between the woman who appears to be gasping and laboring with every syllable, the motor mouth lawyer and the way too hypocritical former RCMP guy espousing the virtues of indigenous people (in spite of the RCMP's woeful history of callous indifference to the plight of said people), this is just a lame attempt at appearing relevant and sincere.

It's a great concept and there are unfortunately far too many cases for subject matter but the "credentials" of the spokespeople are inadequate.

I enjoy this series but they need to replace the female lawyer, Benji Greenberg. This woman's mouth and voice drive me crazy and I'm glad I'm not the only one! I fast forward it when she starts talking. Another thing that makes me nuts is the constant, repetitive music played throughout these shows. They also at times have 4 people saying the SAME EXACT THING, all in a row! Some of these 45 minute shows could be done in 20 minutes. The show, Paranormal Witness, has the psychic investigator repeating what the victim of the haunting literally JUST said! There's no need for this. Please stop it!!

This is like a dream where the events are being played out in slow motion. Even the narrator's voice is an agonizingly drawn out monotone. I checked to see if I could change the speed settings, but no. The choice of crimes is great -- I had not heard of any of the first three crime episodes, and I watch a lot of true crime. If the script, dialogue, acting and direction had been done well, I wouldn't stop at the third episode. I stopped at the third episode. A lot of the "action" is even filmed in slow motion and the same scenes shown multiple times in one episode. Maybe that was supposed to create suspense, but once was more than enough. Just. Plain. Stupid. Z-z-z-z-zzzzz.
