Murder in the Heartland

This show is actually quite compelling. I have seen so many true crime series, so I've developed a taste for the good and the bad. I will stop a show/series especially true crime series, if they aren't interesting.

I'm now on season 2 episode 4. In stayed up watching last night till 5am, and woke up desperate to see more the next day. I'm binging big time on this show.

It's interesting stories, very well put together and very well filmed and constructed. This is truly good tv! Very good at showing the humanity of the victim and always includes their families, so it's very emotionally addictive. Love it.

I watched the first 4 episodes of this, the narration is good and it features in depth assesment of the killer and the victim with good directing specially in the end..

If you like 48 hours and other crime reality shows, this is up your alley too...

8/10 stars

Very well done! Each episode has some resolution eventually. Sometimes it's 10+ years later. But it feels good to know these murders were caught. The stories are told in a tasteful and compassionate way, with all the family and friends being a part of the story, you get to know the people. It also makes it terribly sad but as someone with a horribly murdered loved one, it resonates with me very much. I think they're cathartic for me. Def one of the best of true crime that I've watched.

Oh what this show COULD be! But it isn't! I am a crime show buff, and I always love seeing how they end up figuring out who did it. That's why we watch them right? Well, this show is big on filler, and short on interesting information. It has a hard time getting to the point and instead repeats information continually throughout each episode. Furthermore it drags it out more by taking a 30 second pause between seemingly every sentence someone says to show scenery or something else. Again, just dragging it out.

Compare this to Heartland Homicide. That show is big on information and goes at a much better pace. This series should have 30 minute episodes, or they should put more into the time they have. Heartland Homicide is one of my favorite crime series, and I had high hopes for this one, but I was left severely disappointed. Stop milking the show, and make it good!

Great show! I originally thought the direction of this series wasn't laid out right, but as the series went on into more seasons, they hit the nail on the head with the story and narration. A must watch for every true crime lover!!
