The Wonderland Murders

Reconstruction of an old murder case with plenty of mediocre, charisma-lacking actors and flat-talking, bore-inducing, actual we-were-there-officials. If the producers tried to awake an old forgotten nightmare, it worked. And a nightmare it is...stopped watching after 20 minutes of yawning.

Same old for this format. The production value lacks, the actors are poorly selected, and this accounts for a boring presentation.

Main gripe is that the title does NOT match the series at all. There were only 2 or 3 episodes where the "body" was found in the wonderland, forested, areas. The rest of them occurred in cities. Second gripe is WHY does everyone doing documentaries use annoying music in the back ground? It's not like the narrative needs enhancing. Why can't someone be advant guard enough to toss the music out??? Lastly, I realize there probably is not a huge budget for these types of documentaries. But if you're going to do reenactments, come on, you need people with some acting skills! Most of these actors were wooden at best and downright awful at worst. I find human nature fascinating but unless the rest of the documentaries out there improve, I'm giving up on them!

This is undoubtedly the best of all the programs I watch on the true crime channel: the IDHD CHANNEL. I live in the Pacific Northwest and have since 1967. I have every episode recorded. All 6 episodes.

I like the statements from the actual people involved...relatives, friends, investigative personnel, etc., but the acting in the re-creations is so bad, & the lisping narrator is SO annoying & distracting, it makes it hard to watch.
