Breaking Homicide

They always just agree with whatever the police have already concluded. They don't have any new evidence or special access. I also agree with the other reviews that they pump up the emotional drama in an insincere way. I love most ID shows but this one's weak.

These two start from the very beginning catching the audience up on the past, present and then watch the fallout of the new findings and or confirmations. This is entertainment, every series has it's own spin on drama so I don't even try to base my rating on the drama. The true emotional intent and their approach to the final theory are excellent and gives the viewers hope that justice will soon be served. Every episode may not keep all of us sitting on the edge of our seats but I have no doubt that Derek, Kris and the ID team will raise the bar in the hunt for justice with every cold case. The show is up to date and uses modern technology in criminal investigations. It has a young cast and crew that are working hard to crack the case and continuously keeps the viewers in the know.

If this dude wants to pull off his Tom Foolery, he should go to MTV. The audience at Investigation Discovery knows he is fake. He makes me want to never watch the channel again, especially with the non-stop commercials for S2 of this dumb show. Ugh!

Agree with previous post of fake crying. That was difficult to watch, and undermined credibility. In addition, I'm not sure how responsible it is to tell family members about accused when there's no indication they went to the police first. Shouldn't the authorities be involved before they give out names? What if someone in the victim's family decides to take matters into their own hands (especially since it's been a cold case for years)? Seems pretty irresponsible to me. I like many of the ID channel shows, but this one's a miss. I probably won't watch again.

I enjoyed the show and look forward to the new episodes. It's a nice change of pace from the typical ID show which are heavy on reactments of gruesome crimes. This show is from the perspective of cold case detective and takes you along on interviews with forensic experts who analyze the autopsy, crime scene, suspect behavior. They also include interviews with people close to the victim and some of whom are potential suspects. The cases are interesting and usually complex. Each case ends with the Kris and Derrick's analysis of the evidence gathered and their theory of what happened. These are usually cases that remain open so don't expect the conclusion to include an arrest or conviction. I thought both Kris and Derrick were sincere and sensitive to the feelings of the victims families. My only criticism is many of the cases have involve 2-part episodes which I think could have been condensed into one.
