People Magazine Investigates

The stories are rehashed & many don't have a conclusion. After years of watching I realized most of the crimes are unsolved. Which may be useful in catching the suspect eventually. But it makes me feel like I wasted an hour of my time. Also I can't stand the way the show is narrated by a "People reporters" writers, or whatever they're supposed to be. The set up is weird & they stare into the camera alone then talk to the audience like they're to toddlers. It's bizarre & cringe. It always gets on my nerves. So I deleted the DVR recordings & won't watch anymore. Maybe they think this format sets them apart. But I see from other reviews that I'm not alone in my aggravation..

Marc in particular, presents like he's reading a book to a 5 year old. Overall, toning down the fakie, cheese, over the top story telling, would be nice.

I like the stories though, and will keeping watching, even through the regular cringy narrations.

The stories are usually interesting and would be more so if the People staff would just stay behind the cameras and not narrating awkwardly in front of them. It's really bizarre.

I don't know if woukd even help, or has been investigated. But if Steve's brother Brian's alibi was confirmed by time via video from surveillance system at his parents' house, the time on video cameras can be manipulated to show he was there at the time said. I saw this done on another ID crime show. I'm not sure if the video timer only was what was supposed to corroborate his alibi or not. Just food for thought.

I watch a lot of crime shows, which, may or may not be a good thing so I get to observe the spectrum of what's 'out there' and People Magazine Investigates has probably been one of the best crime shows for a least the last three years (this year being 2021). The show tells stories without the need for dramatic music, over-dramatization or the repetitiveness of other crime shows. The presenters/journalists are thoughtful, well presented and likable. The stories are well covered and thorough in all aspects. Well done.
