Your Worst Nightmare

Me and the boyfriend watch this show all the time but we're almost to the end of season 3 with season 4 coming to a close end, my question is are they making anymore and if so when! Ha

I love true crime and documentaries like these shows. This one is one of my favorites! The title is pretty self explanatory, as many of these stories would be someone's worst nightmare!

In a sense, it is a little full of horror tropes and cliches, which is why I knocked my score down a little lower, but I'm serious! They really knew which stories to include in this series.

There are several episodes on here that I have rewatched a lot, such as "When the Lights Go Out" and "Bump in the Night". Those two episodes are creepy even without having a horror atmosphere. The stories alone are scary enough. Those cases would be someone's worst nightmare I would think.

I plan to watch the whole series, but I've only seen about a quarter so far. Out of all the other series on Investigation Discovery, this one is easily the most thrilling and intense. Highly recommend.

It blew me away. My wife loves watching murder shows at night while I read, but I couldn't get past a page with this show on. It is excellent. The acting and the directing is perfect.

The cases are stories worth telling. The problem is in the storytelling itself. While some of the presentation is professional and respectful, there are always 2-3 moments in each episode where that is thrown out the window and the show resorts to cheap fake-outs, spooky sound effects, and scare tactics stolen from horror movies. And while that works for shock value, it's really unfair to the victims and their families to go overboard with it.

The second and third episodes of Season 3 were particularly bad with this technique.

The one defense of using these horror film techniques is that it does a terrific job of conveying the "worst nightmare" scenarios that the victims felt. For that, I think it's worth watching.

This really is Incels the Tv Show. Pretty much every story featured is "Woman say No to man" "Man comes back later and does awful things". Some of these cases are from as far back as the 70s. Again, there are worse ways to spend an hour of tv, but the pattern of the show really needs to be mixed up a little. There are female predators and killers out there.
