Crimes of the Century

Content was fine but the thing that bothered me the most was the fuzzy voice closeups in random spots are such a weird choice. It made me cringe every time. I pushed through most of the episodes but wow that was tough. It's like the editors pulled times out of a hat of when I do these annoying edits. Hopefully they have learned from all these reviews.

I came here to post a review because it was driving me nuts but I started laughing when I saw every single review I read was saying the same thing. Here I thought I'd be alone but comically, I wasn't.

It will be ok if you can get through the above mentioned.

Literally never have I been so annoyed by the editing of a docuseries. I love true crime; I've never seen it ruined so badly. What were they thinking?

If these shows teaches us anything it isn't about criminals, evil masterminds, or col blooded killers. It teaches us about the importance of hiring a knowledgeable, experienced, and talented sound and vocal editor.

Interviewees were not taken seriously as their comments were spliced and diced to the point where their vocals were pushed through a gimmicky "phoneline" filter to give a "creepy vibe."

It failed spectacularly. Every four minutes or so, the gimmicky filter kicked in....in mid sentences, at the last couple of words at the end of sentences....basically anywhere and everywhere. The only time when you knew the filter would not be applied was whenever the main narrator was talking.

The vocal editing sounded like they hired the producer's 11 year old kick to take control of the sound board.

It's not worth watching. None of them are. They ruined every episode with the same gimmick. It is so thick with it, you lose focus of the actual story

This show would be SO perfect if the voices didn't change every so frequently and maybe change the music in some scenes. It's a great show just hard to watch a little because of the stupid voice changes.

I haven't logged into this site in a long time, but I felt I just had to after attempting to watch this.

The stories, the content and the witness testimonies are more than plenty to carry this show, however it is so bogged down by the SpikeTV, ADD type editing, I couldn't even make it through the first episode.

I lasted about twenty minutes before the image of some editor using the "sweet" new filters, audio tuning, and jumpy, rave like transitions crept into my head and annoyed me beyond comprehension.

Please, spare yourself. You can look up all of these stories on wikipedia and save yourself from a seizure or an aneurysm.
