Deadly Women

Everyone looks for men to murder,but what about women? Young girls and teenage girls do it to, this show is real and makes you wonder what the women were thinking. I didn't realize how many women murderers are out there, some kill their own kids, some their husbands/boyfriends, some their friends or parents, some even random strangers. Women can be just as cruel and heartless as men can, and Deadly Women proves it. Some women kill because of jealousy, money, love, or because they have mental problems, my favorites are the women who kill for power. This show features a criminal psychologist who gives you insight to what the women were going through or feeling, and different ways their murders could have been prevented.

This my favorite true life reenactment style program. And Candice Delong and the other hosts present facts mixed with humor that entertain and enlighten me every episode.

I wasn't sure if Sylvia Likens Case was added to their episode. I've never seen it if they did. With Gertrude Baniszewski playing the big role towards how she was treated before her death. & How she behaved towards Sylvia's sister as well. There are some evil women out there that they can pretend to be your biggest fan! But once your back is turned they won't just hurt you. But they will destroy you all together. When there are good & bad they sure make bad show through all their Evil & Dirty Little Secret's!!

Okay, okay, here is my disclaimer: I am a hardcore true crime junkie. I believe that even someone who is not as "into" true crime as I am will enjoy this show. Each episode is a triptych of women murderers with a certain theme (sometimes a little tenuous). I never realized that there were so many women killers. The series covers murderers from all the way back to the 1700s up to the present. One thing that I wish would be done differently would be to include non-Western murders, but this could be because it is hard to get medical records, coroner reports, eyewitness accounts, interviews, etc... The show is as thorough as it can be. Truly one of my very favorite shows.

I have always loved true crime, so naturally I fell in love with this show. Female killers aren't a common topic among people like me and are usually brushed under the rug. I found all these cases fascinating. I love how the show is formatted, three stories in one episode. Each one has snippets of the events (acted and dramatised) and clips of a former FBI profiler Candice DeLong. The acting ranges from bad to good but it was never bad enough to take me out of the experience. And I honestly don't care what accents the actors and actresses have, it was filmed in Australia and getting actors with proper accents would have been time consuming. The show isn't perfect though, I find the narration at the beginning pretty cheesy and the events are sometimes so overdramatic I can't take them seriously. Overall a great watch, even if you aren't into true crime.
