Heartland Homicide

This is like a dream where the events are being played out in slow motion. Even the narrator's voice is an agonizingly drawn out monotone. I checked to see if I could change the speed settings, but no. The choice of crimes is great -- I had not heard of any of the first three crime episodes, and I watch a lot of true crime. If the script, dialogue, acting and direction had been done well, I wouldn't stop at the third episode. I stopped at the third episode. A lot of the "action" is even filmed in slow motion and the same scenes shown multiple times in one episode. Maybe that was supposed to create suspense, but once was more than enough. Just. Plain. Stupid. Z-z-z-z-zzzzz.

If there's ever a series two of this show (which I enjoy), please please oh please get rid of Benji Greenberg! Her speech and voice-especially that vocal fry-is just so annoying that it detracts from the story being presented. There are, I'm sure, plenty other lawyers who can do what she's doing. Otherwise, the show is fairly and clearly depicted. And I really like that it's mainly small towns and not metropolises. (And almost every town's inhabitant who's been interviewed has said, "things like this don't happen here." Sadly, they've been wrong. I do hope there are more shows, just not with that attorney.

Stories are pretty interesting. Narrator has great voice but seems to wish to create suspense - but it doesn't work. Repetitive information and annoying music do not help. I agree the legal expert's nasal accent is "unique" to say the least. In Season 1 episode 8 - Summer Inman - in the initial introduction they say the town Logan is in Michigan. One minute later they say the town Logan is in Ohio. How can an editor miss that error? I have seen other inconsistencies but not as flagrant. I hope to get through all episodes. One good thing - at least I haven't noticed U. S. bashing which is the norm from many Canadians. Thank you!

The show is good. However, I can't stand Benji Greenberg's nasal voice. Her unnecessary comments & voice make it very difficult to tolerate. My mother taught me to speak from the diaphragm. Nasal speech is a form of childhood whining. The show is good. However, I can't stand Benji Greenberg's nasal voice. Her unnecessary comments & voice make it very difficult to tolerate.

I didn't need to use a lot of words.

The stories are good. Not repeats off other shows as true crime shows often have. As someone who has watched every true crime show on every streaming network, I am glad to find another one. However, the legal expert, Benji Greenberg has such pronounced vocal fry (fake millennial Kardashian accent) that it's incredibly irritating every time she speaks. I can barely stand it. Beyond that, the shows decent enough. The actors seem realistic enough. T h e constant recaps kind of drag things out and it can be a little slow but that's ok. I like the show except for Greenberg's Kardashian imitation. I wish she'd stop.
