Le tueur d'à côté

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

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'm not sure why the writers think it is okay to use so many lame puns and alliteration at an ATTEMPT to make the narration funny when they're telling stories of raped and killed children! The writers should consider writing children's books instead of true crime. The episode in particular showed the detective baking pizza in his kitchen. I was so confused as to why this was even in the show. Then he made a statement about having all the ingredients for a recipe (like solving a crime). Then the narrator followed with a terrible pun, "Without the right ingredients, this case may end up half-baked!" This episode was about a little girl who was raped and murdered in the woods. It was full of puns, alliteration, and sarcasm which comes off as completely insensitive and tactless.

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.

If I were ever murdered, I would NOT want this SHOW, to broadcast my murder. You will have someone murdered cruelly and yet the narration is full of jokes and silly puns which seem totally out of place. It contains trivial information on the Police Officers on what they do in their spare time which has nothing to do with the case, only just so they can add another silly pun. This takes all the seriousness out of the actual murder. There is just no respect for the victim or victims of the murder and the narration is full of cheesy one-liners. On one episode about the murder of a mother while her 3 year old child was present and survived. The 3 year old mentions a name of the suspect and the narrator jokingly adds "Out of the mouth of a babe". It beggars belief how it finds murder so funny and the narration is way too upbeat with its jovial jests. Avoid this show, as it trivializes all the facts and people involved in it.
