Your Worst Nightmare

Seriously, binge the show and count them. Sometimes there's several in the same episode. Like most shows of this type from Discovery ID, otherwise decent acting and solid production values are undermined by the cornball nature of it all.

...the last few have veered off of what made it enjoyable. It seems like they are all "the bad guy likes the victim and gets turned down so he comes back and kills her" or the "girl's significant other turns out to be a psycho". Let's get a little variety going, please.

And the absolute worst change (in my personal opinion) is the fact that they're now skewing the story so that any man in the victim's life "might" be the bad guy. Some random dude she saw at the gas station who ends up having nothing to do with the story, let's harp on that for ten minutes. The make it seem all sinister. Sometimes it's okay to let the bad guy be the bad guy from the beginning. I don't need two other men who have nothing to do with anything shoehorned into the plot for drama's sake.

The cases they choose are good and they seem to have picked some very horrible murders. The acting though is terrible. Very campy acting, that almost feels like it's intentional. It's part of the appeal I think.

Because it's true crime you know something awful is going to happen and it builds up like a low budget made for TV movie. It's a shame that the first season isn't available in Discovery UK.

I have given it six stars as the production isn't bad and the stories are good.

Season 2 Episode 3 has a guy with the craziest wig. Does anyone know whether a new season will be coming out at all? Let's hope so.

It blew me away. My wife loves watching murder shows at night while I read, but I couldn't get past a page with this show on. It is excellent. The acting and the directing is perfect.

I love true crime and documentaries like these shows. This one is one of my favorites! The title is pretty self explanatory, as many of these stories would be someone's worst nightmare!

In a sense, it is a little full of horror tropes and cliches, which is why I knocked my score down a little lower, but I'm serious! They really knew which stories to include in this series.

There are several episodes on here that I have rewatched a lot, such as "When the Lights Go Out" and "Bump in the Night". Those two episodes are creepy even without having a horror atmosphere. The stories alone are scary enough. Those cases would be someone's worst nightmare I would think.

I plan to watch the whole series, but I've only seen about a quarter so far. Out of all the other series on Investigation Discovery, this one is easily the most thrilling and intense. Highly recommend.
