Pink Collar Crimes

At first I thought this was just another bad reality crime show until it hit me that this was actually a spoof of the genre done just close enough to not being totally obvious that it even fooled another reviewer here. It's comedic genius and worthy of at least 3 stars. It was so good I made it almost half way through!

OMG, this is the worst excuse for a show that I have seen in a long time. Pitiful acting by all somewhat narrated by the actual very stupid Soccer Mom. BTW, you don't work on your recovery day-to-day by sipping red wine at the end of the show. Would have liked to give the show a ZERO!

Some criminals have pulled off some of the most infamous crimes in the history of criminology. The 2.6 million pound Great Train robbery from Glasgow to London in 1963, and the 5.8 million U.S. dollar Lufthansa heist was a robbery at John F. Kennedy International Airport in 1978 both come immediately to mind.

The weekly episodes of the Pink Collar Crimes series are nowhere near as brilliant, nor as infamous. Rather, each of these episodes crimes could have been caused by one of our own family members, neighbors, or fellow school parents, and quite frankly lean between being petty crimes, or simply just stupid crimes by stupid people who obviously have few morals and have a "I don't give a shoot attitude".

Each episode utilizes actors in an attempt to re-enact the so-called crimes and in most cases these crimes are significant enough that if you google the criminals name(s) there is most likely a documented story on what actually transpired and what the subsequent jail sentence that was imposed, unless the apparent criminal was found not guilty by a jury of their peers.

These episodes are worth watching but don't expect to be wowed or to stay intrigued as the actors who explain their side of the episodic story on behalf of the criminal(s) they are appearing on behalf of are low budget performances with minimal budgets expended on the series.

The reenactments are bad and the actual stories seem to be missing cool detail that were presented in other better true crime shows.

Yeah, Marcia Clark was a bad choice and the trailer really sucks. But the show does take you inside the persons head and what happened. The news is so full of half-truths about crimes that I think it is good to have the person who committed the crime speak, as well as the people they hurt, and everyone's lawyers.

This show does let you know what happens to people after they are convicted and that is really important.
