Murder in the Heartland

Fascinating, in-depth true crime stories; however, I have seen several episodes with careless typos in the screen title cards ("supect" instead of "suspect," "tounge" instead of "tongue"). The show needs a proofreader!

Just watched my first episode. I thought it was pretty good until I googled the news reports and found out the show totally changed the story.

I watched the first 4 episodes of this, the narration is good and it features in depth assesment of the killer and the victim with good directing specially in the end..

If you like 48 hours and other crime reality shows, this is up your alley too...

8/10 stars

Oh what this show COULD be! But it isn't! I am a crime show buff, and I always love seeing how they end up figuring out who did it. That's why we watch them right? Well, this show is big on filler, and short on interesting information. It has a hard time getting to the point and instead repeats information continually throughout each episode. Furthermore it drags it out more by taking a 30 second pause between seemingly every sentence someone says to show scenery or something else. Again, just dragging it out.

Compare this to Heartland Homicide. That show is big on information and goes at a much better pace. This series should have 30 minute episodes, or they should put more into the time they have. Heartland Homicide is one of my favorite crime series, and I had high hopes for this one, but I was left severely disappointed. Stop milking the show, and make it good!

I just couldn't get past the shaky camera work. It's very distracting, and the details of the stories are not 100% accurate, and is based on biased accounts.
