Snapped

At some point they expanded episodes to an hour and they didn't need to. I like this show, but the narrator is constantly repeating herself, summarizing, and reexplaining everything. It's one thing to do that after commercials, but to do it the entire hour is really irritating.

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

Snapped is a documentary program that tells us the true stories of women accused of murder. We learn a little about their lives prior to them meeting the murder victim, be it their husband, boyfriend, lover or the other woman. These women range from stay-at-home moms, grocery clerks, school teachers, law students, politicians to fashion designers; working class, upper class, wealthy. Social status doesn't matter.

We also learn about their lives with the victims and what drove them to murder. Their motives for murder are as varied as their social status. These women commit murder to collect on a large life insurance policy, to gain child custody, to get rid of an unfaithful or abusive husband or the suspect is an unfaithful wife choosing murder over divorce.

If you enjoy programs like Forensic Files, First 48 and Captured, you'd definitely enjoy Snapped.

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?

These newer episodes are so hard to watch because of the boring narration and slow story flow. SNAPPED really underestimated the importance of a good narrator to make the storyline easy to follow and exciting to watch. It use to be so hard NOT to complete an episode because I needed to know how the case turned out. Snapped on Sundays use to be my favorite thing. Now it has become completely unbearable to get through an episode. Watching and listening to this new narrator is unbearable. Change the narrator and go back to the older format! There is an old saying "If it aint broke, don't fix it".
