O Crime Quase Perfeito

This show is strangely terrible. Stands apart from every other ID show as an amateurish joke. The writing is stilted, completely unrealistic drivel. There is way too many scripted scenes and the acting is pathetically bad.

Terrible acting and writing with ridiculous ideas on how cases are solved. I can't believe this show has lasted so long. You can't get past the bad in this show to enjoy what little good exists. I watch all kinds of crime shows and this is easily the worst crime show I've ever seen. You have to watch at least one episode to decide for yourself, but I can't watch this show anymore. I am too embarrassed for the actors, directors, and writers.

Like all other reviewers bad acting bad production. How do you explain all the New York accents? The latest episode was about a California man and California police, nearly all the people had NY accents. Don't watch this show, if you like well made crime shows.

What happened?! Did production draw the short straw when it came to selecting actors for this program? What a sad disgrace to victims & those who cared for them. OR were these working actors heavily directed to act ridiculously? Props to the real life investigators, attorneys and law enforcement who offered their experiences and retelling. This show is more like a black comedy; leave that to bad movies. IMO these tv programs are more intimate and would present better with respectful presentations. Interestingly the actors that portray the police, investigators etc come across more realistic than the friends and relatives of the victim. The relatives, et al are played in a campy manner. It's infuriating because just when I think interesting in depth details are to be revealed a clownish presentation of a daughter, boyfriend, sister, brother SPOUSE comes on screen and mucks up the whole program.

Just watched 2 consecutive episodes from season 4, one set in a small town in Ohio and one in Atlanta. They used the exact same sets, and appeared to use the same exterior shots too. The 2 foot snowbanks and snowy small town exteriors really took me out of the 'Atlanta' story. It was weird because there wasn't even a need for exterior establishing shots, and yet, there they were. There was obviously no effort made to accurately portray the correct eras that the stories were set in. It's like, why not do better when it would be so easy to make it not quite so atrocious?

Whatever. It's still pretty entertaining, and it's super fun to make fun of while watching. And yeah, the acting and writing is terrible, but it's a fun kind of terrible so I had to give it 9 stars.
