Snapped

I stopped liking it after the old narrator was replaced. Her sarcasm and wit made the show for me. Also they got rid of the good background music it was amazing, piano that drove the atmosphere, along with just a tiny bit of music that built up some dread. Also, the end credit music was changed. I can't just watch people talk and listen to that boring narrarator. The other one made me laugh! "And the prosecutor didn't think so EITHER!" I miss her and the old music!! Some of the newer stories are good so I guess I'll try to watch some before it leaves Peacock. I keep watching the older ones over and over.

The show is interesting and fairly well put together. They do go over the same things many time so you only need to watch the second half and you will get all the info. The narrator is a horrible speaker. She stresses weird parts of sentences and adds unnecessary words at the end of a lot of sentences. One could say "he had a job". This narrator "he had a job too". " She had been charged with battery" or "she had been charged with battery too" she is staying a single fact, not giving a list. She uses literally often.

Whenever a person won't cooperate with the police this is explained by saying that neighborhood doesn't trust the police stressing that they are poor and criminals. The cops should also stress that they don't cooperate because of years and years of verbal and physical abuse inflicted upon the citizens.

Someone new needs to write what the narrator says. She is horrible too. Lmao.

What can I say after that?... You have to watch it.

If there is ever a television show that will turn you off of marriage or having babies, THIS is IT! Practically every episode at some point makes no bones about when things turned for the worse for the people depicted, and without fail you can count on the point where the narrator states: "... but not long after getting married", or "but not long after having their second child....". 😁 Holy heck!

And talk about dumb criminals! Don't these huntin', tobacco chewin', billiehillies watch shows like, ummm ... Snapped ... in order to know what to do and what NOT to do? Lol!

Definitely entertaining and pretty binge-worthy, but guaranteed to leave you with a sour taste and shaking your head. Cain't we all jist git along?

For the 2018 season (possibly 2017), even though this show has been going since 2004, the producers (Sharon Martin?) decided to fix something that was NOT broken. Before each commercial break the new narrator says, "Coming Up," and a fraction of a second later begins revealing spoilers. Sometimes I'm caught off guard and can't hit the mute fast enough. Other times there are false alarms -- I think the "Coming Up" is coming due to a pause in the narration, but then the show continues. This is no way to enjoy a show. What do the producers think, that viewers can't wait the duration of a commercial break to see what happens next? That they have to have the "Coming Up" previews? I mean, is it like viewers hear "Coming Up" and think, "Oh Oh Oh, Gotta see what's coming up!" even though in three minutes they'll find out? How stupid do the producers/directors think viewers are? This "Coming Up" nonsense is on the verge of being a deal breaker for what was once a very good show. It is SOOO insulting to intelligence.

As for the previous review stating that this show contains content that's difficult for her friends to watch ... this show is actually quite mild compared to some of the stuff that's on the ID Channel. It can be predictable, but the "whodunnit" aspect is not supposed to be part of the show. We all know whodunnit. What's interesting is HOW the detectives figure it out. This show was a hit before the stupid "Coming Up" spoilers. Why fix what wasn't broken?
