Vh1's My True Crime Story

Really, Remy Ma? As a the narrator of this show, she definitely makes all of these real life criminals sound like heros. Probably because she falsely believes she is a hero after her own conviction. There is very little in this show that points to how these crimes destroyed not just the life of the criminal, but lives of the victims. This is exactly what is wrong in society today and how young people get caught up in scamming, drug dealing, etc. When will people stop glorifying crime??? This show is unacceptable and disappointing.

One story touches on a scammer in the DMV that only got 1 year in a plush federal prison, making scamming look like an easy crime. I really could not stand how Remy Ma glorified this scammer in particular. Her narrative kept encouraging the scammer's behavior.

Everyone has choices in life, but shows like these need to take some accountability. It's a reminder how bad society has become and the fact that criminals and uneducated people seem to be the most famous. Rather than truly talented artists.

This could have been just fine, it might have even been pretty good if it weren't for the absolute CRINGE narration of Remy Ma and the horrible lines she feels she has to insert into the stories. This should would be so much more enjoyable if they just told the story and didn't have the totally obnoxious dialogue from Remy Ma.

I was 'done' after one episode of this show, but I watched one more just to see if it got any better. Spoiler: It didn't.

The show opens with the line, "How far would you go to come up within a system built to hold you down? These are the true stories who had good intentions but got caught up by bad decisions."

If that's not a lesson on how to frame a story, I don't know what is. So, it's "the SYSTEM" that's holding these people down, because they had good intentions when they stole a bunch of electronics, and just got caught up in a bad decision, or rather...they simply got caught. Both episodes I watched framed the story this way. Glorifying the crime with some sassy narration as if crime is justified if it's filled with passion. Please.

Girl gets in front of the camera, I was this, I was that bad ass. Then a friend comes in front of the camera. She was such a badass. Another friend, so was so wild n crazy.

Cut to a few scenes with actors, then back to interviews. And repeat and repeat.

Even if this is to believed, it's complete trash tv, all scripted and it's too boring to find out what happens.

The narrator completely ruins the show. The content is entertaining and interesting enough without the need for street slang and someone trying way too hard to be cute. Rule number one of journalism ( not saying this woman is a journalist ) is you are not the story. The story is the story. I saw the episode where the guy started out faking loan applications and he wound up faking identities and making millions of dollars. Why do we need someone speaking street slang when this was clearly white collar crime. ? Nothing street about it. I couldn't even enjoy the show. Its like watching a documentary about eagles and its being narrated by Donald Duck.
