Le tueur d'à côté

I like this show overall, but holy hell chill with the puns and the narration. On top of the narration, the music doesn't fit the mood/theme often times. Upbeat music when talking about finding bodies? The stories/interviews are solid, but I don't care that Lieutenant Whozits likes to play strip poker on Friday nights and enjoys long walks on the beach to unwind....the theme/mood is everywhere, and they just try to make EVERYTHING into a pun. Feel bad for the people that agreed to do interviews cause it just feels disrespectful a lot of times.

This is the most bizarre show. The overall production is done well enough until music and narration are added. It's really like watching America's Funniest Home Videos narration desperately trying to find the most pathetic jokes while a hideous crime and the subsequent investigation is detailed. The music does match at all either. It is often some upbeat or flighty song playing while the crime scene and murder is shown. What in the world? Discovery does so many good things. How could this horrible production get past them? I really hate it because the stories themselves are very interesting and while you're developing an emotional connection to the victim's family this ridiculous narration and music is playing. It's extremely disrespectful.

I enjoy true crime shows and I wanted to like this one. I stopped watching because the narration is so awful. Jokes about the murder are unnecessary and disrespectful. There are better true crime shows out there. I would watch again if the narration script was changed. Not recommended.

Let me start by saying I love Investigation Discovery. I'm constantly looking for shows on ID that I haven't seen and I just recently located Nightmare Next Door. After watching, I deliberately came here looking for reviews to see if anyone else felt as I did about the narration and, lo and behold, almost everyone did.

I like the stories. But ID missed the boat on the narration here by trying to make it lighthearted and humorous. Not only are the puns/jokes/metaphors ridiculous, they are completely inappropriate in this setting. The show is talking about murder and the producers of this show think that is something to joke about? The victims and families deserve more respect than this. Narration should be serious and fact-based. Period. Shame on you, ID. You have disappointed me.

Fantastic content BUT narrative makes it out to be a joke. TOTALLY DISRESPECTFUL TO THE CASES.
