James Patterson's Murder Is Forever

This is yet another in line of badly produced, so-called crime shows which lately abound across networks that carry such, offering cheap entertainment for the masses based on bad scripts, poor acting, and laughable visual effects. These shows are the insult not only to the crime victims, but also to the intelligence of people who appreciate a well-told story without gimmicky and scandalous lining.

It has some of the most original crime stories (and I watch this channel all the time). I mean, the acting on this channel is never top notch so I didn't expect top notch acting here. But the concept and stories are great!

I love James Patterson. Fantastic writer BUT having seen only 2 shows of this series both were such a huge disappointment. They weren't even close to what I have grown to expect from Mr Patterson. The Jack Reacher movies are almost identical to the books and are spellbinding.

I'd give Mr Patterson a new trial on this series. Maybe he can get a chance to be cleared in the homicide of " James Patterson's Murder Is Forever". If not it's the gallows. As the trap door swings open and Patterson's TV career drops to it's death. DUM DA DUM DUM!

Only watched this as Mrs Graham is a big James Patterson fan. Each episode tells a real life murder story. Introduced by James Patterson (very briefly). At the end they tell you what happened to the real life people involved and show photos of the real people.

The acting and writing is average. The production is average. You will be disappointed if you are seeking out an Oscar worthy performance. However they do tell real life stories in a far more interesting way than the normal interviews, shots of locations and dramatic music.

It feels as a documentary made into re-enactment show such as I.D. channel does, i remember the ID covered at least one of the ones by James Patterson's series, so what kind of a role did he play in it other then marketing? Its based on true story that was already covered in the media. Badly acted average watch, and thats a very generous review. ID channel at least covers more details, interviews the envolved law enforcement and is more accurate.
