Murdertown

Katherine Kelly is a fine actress but totally wrong for this series. Firstly, the credits state....starring.......it's a documentary for crikes sake. Needs a much stronger voice over to help the flow. Good title but the overall production is clumsy and lacks a real ouch.

It reminds me of a college kid using PowerPoint for the first time... using transitions for every graphic and unnecessary slo mo videos. Like chill out and focus on the story.

I am not sure why we need to see the presenter walking in slow motion with her hair bobbing? I'm also concerned at why we need to see her driving in her car and taking her eyes off the road for her two lines.

The content is okay though. That's why I gave it 7.

I didn't find the show itself all that bad but the presenter, Katherine Kelly is absolutely AWFUL! They have her "driving" around different towns giving commentary that she's clearly reading off a prompter and doing a TERRIBLE job at that! I thought actors were capable of memorizing a paragraph of lines for God's sake! She's worse than Joe Biden TRYING to read his personal opinion that's been written for him off a prompter, and I honestly didn't think that was possible.

SSSSLLLLOOOOWWWW. And repetitive. Replays the same clips, repeats information, and is obsessed with its own title, repeating it ad nauseum...and really, it's the dumbest conceit. Kelly at the towed wheel is a total joke...as if she's driving the storytelling? Omg STUPID. Would have been so much better to lose her, cut run time in half, tell the story ONE time, never repeat clips, be concise and lose the terrible overhead shots and fuzzy close-ups of people and weapons. Stop haranguing on how FEARFUL each community is. Duh. We get it. This is painful to watch, for all the wrong reasons. But it offers a gazillion options to turn watching it into a drinking game, if you are so inclined. This series should be used as a cautionary tale in any TV production class. Just horrible. How in the world does it have a 7.1 rating? I guess people are desperate for real crime stories, and willing to overlook the crimes committed by this show against the audience.
