    We all know what really happened.

    "How It Really Happened..." is basically a retread of past high profile criminal cases. It gives you a more in depth look of each case, with interviews from a number of authorities associated with the cases, scientists and so-called experts. This is more of a TV series documentary than a TV show.

    Some of the interviewees over-exert their testimony and overacts their dramatic selves, which can be extremely annoying. While the cases give off some suspense and mystery, there is really nothing new to the case you haven't known before.

    Grade C

    Could have been much better

    The one-part episodes were interesting and, at times, informative. Presentations about The Jenny Jones Show, Michael Jordan's father's murder along with the ones about Prince's and David Cassidy's passings were fine. But some of the two-part episodes were so repetitive; could have been done in one. The Oklahoma City bombing and the Elizabeth Smart Kidnapping episodes were outrageously redundant. I suggest you go to part two immediately; you will not be missing anything. Hill Harper was a very professional host. But. Jesse Martin often looked like he was going to laugh. Talented actor is he, but was not a good host.

    Documentaries should be HEARD

    Everyone of these shows should be interesting- however, the music and background is so LOUD Almost all of the vocal is drown out.

    People watch this type of program to obtain Information!!!!!

    This happens so much in documentaries these days.

    Drives me crazy- why do they think we tune in; Certainly NOT to struggle to hear the information.

    Archive footage

    There is some, but would like to see more. The beginning of the series had a bunch of it. Re-enactments are kinda dull.

    Back ground music too loud

    I think the program content is very interesting, however, the back ground music is so loud I can barely hear what people are saying. Guaranteed to give you a pounding headache!!.
