Your Worst Nightmare

I love the show, the filming, the plots. But I HATE that they show a clip of the end game, in the beginning of the show! How stupid! I don't want to know what's going to happen before it happens. Take that feature out and this is one of my favorite shows on ID!

This really is Incels the Tv Show. Pretty much every story featured is "Woman say No to man" "Man comes back later and does awful things". Some of these cases are from as far back as the 70s. Again, there are worse ways to spend an hour of tv, but the pattern of the show really needs to be mixed up a little. There are female predators and killers out there.

The cases are stories worth telling. The problem is in the storytelling itself. While some of the presentation is professional and respectful, there are always 2-3 moments in each episode where that is thrown out the window and the show resorts to cheap fake-outs, spooky sound effects, and scare tactics stolen from horror movies. And while that works for shock value, it's really unfair to the victims and their families to go overboard with it.

The second and third episodes of Season 3 were particularly bad with this technique.

The one defense of using these horror film techniques is that it does a terrific job of conveying the "worst nightmare" scenarios that the victims felt. For that, I think it's worth watching.

...the last few have veered off of what made it enjoyable. It seems like they are all "the bad guy likes the victim and gets turned down so he comes back and kills her" or the "girl's significant other turns out to be a psycho". Let's get a little variety going, please.

And the absolute worst change (in my personal opinion) is the fact that they're now skewing the story so that any man in the victim's life "might" be the bad guy. Some random dude she saw at the gas station who ends up having nothing to do with the story, let's harp on that for ten minutes. The make it seem all sinister. Sometimes it's okay to let the bad guy be the bad guy from the beginning. I don't need two other men who have nothing to do with anything shoehorned into the plot for drama's sake.

Me and the boyfriend watch this show all the time but we're almost to the end of season 3 with season 4 coming to a close end, my question is are they making anymore and if so when! Ha
