60 Days In

Starts off entertaining enough, but quickly devolves into a snooze fest. I know it is very common with American TV, but the constant reminders of what is going on and reuse of the same scenes give me a headache.

It is way too long, too many episodes.

The show has an interesting idea and it's nothing I've seen before, but I feel like if I have. It's just like every other reality TV show. Some of the participants do extremely well, but others do so badly you wonder how on Earth they've survived this long.

Each episode is about 40 minutes long and they only use what seems like 15 minutes of footage. Constantly jumping back in forth to the women's cell block to the men's, repeating everything that just happened over and over again. It's obvious A&E is just trying to stretch out as many episodes (money) as possible which ruined the show for me. Sorry they just lost a viewer.

An interesting program but should have been edited when the adverts were removed for Netflix.

You get a fully explained event then it is explained all over again a second later just after where the advert should have been.

Hard to stop watching though!

If you haven't done time you probably can't appreciate how accurate the portrayal of doing time in remand centers is, the absolute inhumane conditions people are subjected to is 100% accurate, the corruption and ignorance of the staff at the jails is 100% accurate.

As someone who has done time I found it thoroughly enjoyable to see participants who had a negative view of inmates and positive view of the justice system getting the rude awakening they deserve!

Even better when some of them have been the police officers who entered the show and seen what they were subjecting people they arrested to then having a total change of perspective.

The criminal justice system is a justice system run by real criminals and the cruel/unusual punishment people are subjected to because of it never reforms or rehabilitates as the system relies on crime continuing.

I didn't expect to be engrossed in this "fish out of water" reality series, but I am.

To start, it's not really like anything I've seen before, and if you've watched as much reality series as I have, that's saying something. It starts off with 7 people chosen to participate in an undercover operation of sorts, and the danger is real. One wonders why ordinary people (and some are exceedingly ordinary) would be chosen for an operation like this. You almost think it's not going to happen - then they're immersed into this American jail hell.

I'm not going to give very much away at all, and it's really easy to. I'll just say that is is totally worth one's time, especially if you like crime or incarceration shows. There's one person that stands out, and you get the feeling that he isn't going to last long. Will he be killed? Quite possibly. And it will have been his own fault. One should really follow jail house rules... or else.
