See No Evil

Having seen some of the latest episodes, ive come to the conclusion that this is some of the best real crime documentary ive ever seen. its merely the connection to the victim you get through videosurveillance, and interwievs with the family and friends of the victims that really moves the gutter and overrims the tear cup of grief. also the way that police comments and tells their story, along with suspects interviews in or outside the interrogation room are extreme to watch.

to all that are left behind,losin a son, brother sister mum daughter,husband etc, remember we''ll grieve with you all for ever.

Does Walmart sponsor this show? Great idea for a series, very entertaining, just wondering about Walmart as it seems every episode has Walmart cctv

The subject matter is excellent. People will always be interested in criminal cases, so no complaints there. The victim and their family are treated with respect, but there are flaws:

1. Laborious storytelling with far too much repetition 2. Annoying sound effects and background music 3. Hiding key parts of the footage to play gotcha with the audience

The third point bugged me the most and happened in the first episode. They showed security footage of a crime. It lasted about 60 seconds but no crime was apparent. Then they decided to show it again, while detectives told us how easy it is to overlook something. On the second viewing, they pointed out an important detail that everyone missed the first time. But this is the annoying part: They edited out the key part of the footage from what they initially showed us, so none of us had a chance to catch the key moment either.

I have only watched season 2 on Netflix and I love the stories chosen. They explain everything really well and use family and friends to talk about the victim.

However the downsides are that they play the footage over and over which is a bit excessive and the dialogue is very repetitive. The amount of time spent on telling us how great footage is and constantly referring to the security cameras is over the top. I found myself after a couple of episodes getting frustrated because they seem to state the obvious and repeat the same lines.

Although obsessed with the ID channel, this is my favorite series on it. I think that's because you get to see the movements of the guilty and follow the investigation with real live video and not a story retold and acted out by actors in which they're retelling a series of events that may or may not happened. This series is almost as if we are there with the police, solving the case with them. It also shows us how surveillance cameras are a necessity and are saving lives. I was always one of those people who didn't want "big bother" watching my every move. After watching this show, I'm basically like "wait... I never do anything shady or illegal so what am I afraid of?" ... followed up by a "put surveillance cameras everywhere!" and cameras with far better image quality. Although it wouldn't be such a popular idea, make the cameras a socialist type program where we all pay into it much like we do with police, fire, military, schools, etc. This show really opened my eyes to the importance of surveillance videos and cameras are used to save lives, solve murders & all other forms of crimes.
