I can't tell you how many times I've strapped in for a nice bit of true crime & turned off after five minutes because the music sounded like a construction site over a Yamaha DX7, the editing was manic, the dramatizations were inaccurate & terribly produced and the narrator had a voice like Batman on Quaaludes. Add to that the number of shows featuring self-promoting presenters & semi-literate 'experts' and I walk away feeling like no-one knows how to make a decent crime doc series anymore.

So, it's more than a little refreshing to have discovered 'A Crime to Remember', a show that avoids every element of crappiness that pervades today's 'real crime' programs. It's shot beautifully, the incidental 'noirish' music fits each historical crime, the narration is uniquely rendered as a story told by someone on the periphery of the story, the interviewees are relevant and best of all, the casting, acting & direction of the dramatizations are near flawless. Some of the actors' resemblance to the actual subjects is uncanny. This is easily the best TV crime doc series to come out of the US in a long time.

Covering famous crimes from the past. Most were famous at the time and some still are . It's too bad it was cancelled but other unoriginal reality crime shows remain or more of the same added.

Journalists and historians and sometimes people around at the time added context and you could learn not only about that specific case but the era and place it happened.

I like those slow paced documentaries. No flashy fast cuts like other shows.

Each story takes its time to develop, great production designs in recreating the time period. Reenactments are not top-notch for some episodes but OK. I have seen worst in indie movies.

Plus interviews of the people (law enforcement, witnesses,...).

So worth watching.

Murder back when it was shocking. Grade A production values in the recreations. Interesting stories from the past.

It is still available for streaming. I'm sad they aren't making any more new episodes. This was top notch.

The comments whining about cigarette smoking crack me up. Yes, it is a bad habit but it hasn't wreaked as much havoc, pain and killings like alcohol and drug abuse. Some people are just ...

I can't remember watching a series that I enjoyed more than this one. The photography was exceptional, costuming and set design was perfect (I was around so I have personal experience), and the narration was spot on - not too much, not too little. As an added benefit, the series includes original insurance advertisements for AllState, adding to the ambiance. The acting in this series deserves special note. The characters that portray the reenactments do not show much emotion. This leaves an interesting impression on the viewer - almost as though the emotions of the characters are left up to the viewers to imagine, leaving a very haunting sense of distance. This series is a cut above the rest. In short, it rates a 10 out of 10 it in my book. I just don't know what they could have done better!

Is there going to be another season? I love this show. Its brilliant

Maybe the shows aren't all that accurate, and maybe the producers didn't do all the research they should have, and maybe they get facts wrong, but if you put aside all that, what you get is a mildly fact-based, totally riveting docu-drama that is surprisingly well acted by little-known players, written in a punchy and fun style, and always intriguing. With wonderful period costumes and solid direction, this show is one of the most under-rated on television and absolutely worth an engrossing, enjoyable binge.

A Crime to Remember is a HISTORY of Crime Series. and the most attention-holding show ever broadcasted on television. I was so disappointed when the ID Channel dropped it from their Series Lineup. Staying hopeful, that ID would add it back to their schedule, I left it to be recorded, on any channel, at anytime. I was delighted, when on 10/29/19, three (3) episodes of "A Crime to Remember" shows were recorded!! The ID Channel should place this Series at the top on their Crime Show List and drop some of the less uninteresting, least watched Series!

So much TV is crap. So much "made for cable" TV is formulaic crap. This show is a cut above. While it doesn't entirely step out of TV "world 'o' crap", it largely sidesteps it with a real flair for brilliant hindsight in the retelling of some really interesting crimes from the 50's and 60's.

In the end it doesn't matter if it is the final word in honesty because it brings up so many unanswered questions pertinent to crimes that are, sadly, now forgotten. But do not take this lightly because these are major crimes and deserve, even at this late date, your introspection. I can't tell how important this series actually is so just watch because if you get it...you'll get it.

This is an interesting true crime series that doesn't drag or get too repetitious. It lasted 5 seasons, and all episodes are available to watch with a subscription to discovery + streaming service. (In late May 2023, discovery + will become part of HBO MAX.) What makes this series different from other crime ones is it tries to capture the time period, too, by showing newsreels and photos. It also starts off with a fictional narrator who lived during that time. It might be a neighbor or a friend or an acquaintance of the victim or killer.

The reenactments are like watching a TV show, as opposed to being choppy snippets. Some episodes are spiced up with sex scenes, that are too explicit at times, and smoking cigarettes is very, very prevalent. Some of the dead bodies are a bit too graphic for my tastes, too. The episode "Last Night Stand" showed the woman's dead body way too long. It was graphic and gross and one had to wonder why the film makers did so. (I'm taking off two stars from my rating.)

At the end of each episode, the beginning narrator makes some type of philosophical comment about the crime and time, and photos of the real individuals involved are shown during the credits. So far, it has been easy to find info online on the cases, and obviously not all facts about the cases are real on the show. For example, the person who blew up the plane did not exactly have the type of childhood described. Thus, if you are a stickler for facts, this show might irk you with the fact liberties it takes.

I love this show!! Became so addicted to it as soon as I found it. Can't believe it hasn't got many reviews. The stories are great and true. Unheard of murders from history and the acting is quite good too. I love that it has some real people connected that are interviewed too. It's quite chilling. Great for a night watch. Episode that moved me the most was 'baby come home' so sad and thrilling right to the end. First episode of 1st series was OK but just keep watching them. Gets much better

I love this show!! I noticed there haven't been new shows lately... I sure hope they do more!! My family loves this series!!!

I watched tonight's show and it took me back to the day this happened. My father was stationed at the Naval Recruit Training Center (old buildings then new buildings) pushing recruits thru training. The morning all this broke out, one of his recruits, Chuck Wunderly of PA, told my dad his new wife as also a student at this school. He immediately left the base with Chuck, found his wife (Kay) and our families have been friends ever since. Today my parents have since passed away but my wife and I visited them in June. Our families will continue this friendship for as many years as our kids will. Kay and Chuck have been married 50 years and both have retired. It is funny how a show can rekindle things in our pass. Kay's daughter Sharon told us she will watch tonight so she can get a better idea the story of how we all became friends/family.

Just found this show on Tubi. It's far better than expected!

I assumed it would be like Cruise Ship Killers or Bizarre Murders--a bad, slow, boring show to put on while falling asleep.

But no. It's really good! The crimes are complicated and fascinating, and even though I'm not especially young, none of them are familiar. And they put effort into humanizing the people involved. It's not just shock and gore and sensationalism. It's a lot more respectful than most true crime shoes. The narration and pacing are perfect, the "experts" actually have some authority on the subject, the acting is great, the casting is eerily accurate. And it's just LOOKS cool. The costumes and sets are so fun to see. Great show, glad I found it, even if I can't fall asleep to it.

I absolutely love history and true crime this series is perfect I can't stop watching I'm almost done with all available seasons I want more I'm addicted I recommend this show highly !!!

I remember spending a summer binging the series. I've been trying to find it on a streaming service, it turns it's available on Tubi.

It's a beautiful true crime series--not campy. The writing, narration, and reenactments are consistent throughout. It doesn't look like some cheap production like so many shows seem to be. It feels like you're going back in time when you watch (and again, not campy). It's also nice to have input from reporters pushing the stories along. One of my favorite parts is seeing the actors in different roles. I can't wait to watch it all over again. My only wish is that it's brought back again.

PLEASE BRING BACK A CRIME TO REMEMBER! So intriguing and impacting. So much history learned as well. The real life events shouldn't be lost. The written work is so well done. Bring back this series as so many more stories need to be told. Crime to Remember is better than even Dateline. We need more quality and entertaining series like CRIME TO REMEMBER. Hopefully ID Channel or another network will pick it up to continue this well written and produced, directed series. Meanwhile we can watch the 5 seasons of CRIME TO REMEMBER and hopefully like other series are rebooted, so can this well made series.

I only saw the first episode. I think it covers a crime from 1965 or 66. I won't be watching anymore.

Evidently the producers believed that EVERYONE smoked cigarettes AT ALL TIMES back then. The re-enactments were devoide of acting or drama, but were just assorted scenes of people smoking. I need something more substantial and considerably less unpleasant than that to hold my attention.

It's a shame, really, as the series sounded interesting and I thought that it had potential. I was even willing to accept its tabloid approach for the sake of an interesting story. The endless cloud of cigarette smoke interfered with any story or emotion the show could have offered.

To my fellow true crime addicts, This show is unparalleled in the true crime genre. It is absolutely gorgeously filmed with an amazing amount of attention to detail. It is well presented and with experts and people whom remember the crime. The reenactments are acted and done in such a way that it each episode almost feels like Roman Polanski film. The development of the stories of these heinous murders are so well told that my favorite part, which is how they caught the perpetrators back before dna analysis was available, is truly satisfying. Regardless of the age of the cases, one finds themselves caring about these cases every bit as much as a murder from last week.

As of 3/28/25 HBO has it.

First Every story is start with those points which we all feel familiar . Then slowly story escalates and you understand that what we saw is focus on a crime but also seeing how society plays a key role on aftermath of crime.

In these stories what differ from other series is morality, social commentary, blend of history & how these things create future.

The cinematography is totally focus on before crime, at crime & after crime . In three of these phases cinematography, narration, acting & little bit of comments of experts are presents totally differ from other phases .

Ultimately this is best blend of history, crime, mystery and thriller.

Some reviews criticized that people are smoking in almost every episode, but in spite of that, I think there are excellent performances (with the exception of one of the crimes where I noticed a corpse talking while the camera was panning 🤣).

The recreation of the era, the performances, and in most cases the likeness of the actors with the original pictures of the victims and perpetrators, is pretty good!

These not so famous actors performances are far much better than other actors in main stream media series. I also like the fact these series shows that not in all cases justice had been served.
