Snapped

'Snapped' is an intriguing half-hour series, currently on the Oxygen Network, that concerns female murderers. Narrated in a flat, just the facts ma'm female voice, the show takes the viewer through the crime in a prologue ("the question is, when he left, did he take a suitcase? Or was he in one?") After the credits, there's a brief biography of the killer, interaction with the victim, details of the crime, the trial, and the aftermath.

"Snapped" is very intriguing and a little like potato chips - Oxygen runs them one after the other, and after one show, you find yourself watching the next and the next.

For lovers of true crime, "Snapped" is a no-miss.

I stopped liking it after the old narrator was replaced. Her sarcasm and wit made the show for me. Also they got rid of the good background music it was amazing, piano that drove the atmosphere, along with just a tiny bit of music that built up some dread. Also, the end credit music was changed. I can't just watch people talk and listen to that boring narrarator. The other one made me laugh! "And the prosecutor didn't think so EITHER!" I miss her and the old music!! Some of the newer stories are good so I guess I'll try to watch some before it leaves Peacock. I keep watching the older ones over and over.

What can I say after that?... You have to watch it.

The show is interesting and fairly well put together. They do go over the same things many time so you only need to watch the second half and you will get all the info. The narrator is a horrible speaker. She stresses weird parts of sentences and adds unnecessary words at the end of a lot of sentences. One could say "he had a job". This narrator "he had a job too". " She had been charged with battery" or "she had been charged with battery too" she is staying a single fact, not giving a list. She uses literally often.

Whenever a person won't cooperate with the police this is explained by saying that neighborhood doesn't trust the police stressing that they are poor and criminals. The cops should also stress that they don't cooperate because of years and years of verbal and physical abuse inflicted upon the citizens.

Someone new needs to write what the narrator says. She is horrible too. Lmao.

These newer episodes are so hard to watch because of the boring narration and slow story flow. SNAPPED really underestimated the importance of a good narrator to make the storyline easy to follow and exciting to watch. It use to be so hard NOT to complete an episode because I needed to know how the case turned out. Snapped on Sundays use to be my favorite thing. Now it has become completely unbearable to get through an episode. Watching and listening to this new narrator is unbearable. Change the narrator and go back to the older format! There is an old saying "If it aint broke, don't fix it".
