Meet, Marry, Murder Hosted by Michelle Trachtenberg

This show is one of the most interestingly detailed true crime documentary shows. The stories are ones I had not seen or heard before as I watch quite a bit of true crime so that kept me watching. You hear from people very close to the story so you are very emotionally pulled in and get a large amount of detail to what led up to the sad event. The host is rough around the edges hosting wise. She just sometimes has oddly placed inflection in her narration and makes facial expressions that just add to the oddity of her role as a host, but that does not take away from the quality work of the show at all. The show as a whole is a great true crime documentary series.

I love this show. However, the older white gentleman needs to be replaced. He talks with his mouth full of spit. That is Disgusting which can decrease your viewers. I had to turn the channel. Please get another person. We all have issues but on TV it should be better organized. The show has interesting cases daily. All the other narrators are great. I'm merely making a strong suggestion. If you need more characteristics then find the older guy. He has gray hair. Only those who truly watch the show will understand. I'm sure someone else thought the same thing. It's on TV as we speak but unfortunately I can't get through it.

Interesting new show and somewhat different then most true life crime shows. Michelle Trachtenberg who host this show in many ways is like Elvira Mistress of the Dark, Michelle, commentary on the case being viewed is very much same as Elvira's remarks during the movie she is doing, Both women are very Goth in the manner of dress and make up! While all the cases that Michelle does in season 1 are ones I have already seen on other true life crime shows. That said Michelle color commentary is unique to this show.

I'm a fan of Michelle Trachtenberg, and of true crime which is why I had this on my watchlist.

That's why it sucks that the show is a total letdown. Trachtenberg, while being a good actress, is so thoroughly out of her element here. Her cadence is bizarre and it seems as though she's having trouble reading her lines fluidly or in a way that sounds natural. If the show manages to get a renewal for a second season, I hope she can improve.

It's also weird that the narrator of a crime documentary series refers to herself in the first person and states personal opinions (even though they're obviously pre-written) regularly. It's also strange to show the host. It's just completely unnecessary and feels crass that they are leaning into a celebrity personality so hard. It all just feels so wrong and a tad disrespectful to the victims of these crimes.

The crimes themselves are interesting enough, I guess. But they aren't presented in an overly compelling way and often feel padded out and repetitive to fill the runtime. It seems very by-the-numbers, and there are plenty of other shows that not only present true crime better, but have presented some of the very same crimes featured in this show better, and without the stilted narration and repetition.

I really can't understand why this made it past the pilot/pitch, to be honest. If it didn't have the star power of Michelle Trachtenberg, it would have died immediately, of that I have no doubt.

This modern true crime style of using sarcasm and gossipy, jokey conversational voiceover is TRASH! I'm not someone who's overly sensitive, but they act like they're not telling the story of someone who died, sometimes quite brutally. It's so disrespectful.

"As she popped out two more kids..." -- Michelle actually narrated that.

NO.
