Murder in the Heartland

Great show! I originally thought the direction of this series wasn't laid out right, but as the series went on into more seasons, they hit the nail on the head with the story and narration. A must watch for every true crime lover!!

I watched the first 4 episodes of this, the narration is good and it features in depth assesment of the killer and the victim with good directing specially in the end..

If you like 48 hours and other crime reality shows, this is up your alley too...

8/10 stars

Oh what this show COULD be! But it isn't! I am a crime show buff, and I always love seeing how they end up figuring out who did it. That's why we watch them right? Well, this show is big on filler, and short on interesting information. It has a hard time getting to the point and instead repeats information continually throughout each episode. Furthermore it drags it out more by taking a 30 second pause between seemingly every sentence someone says to show scenery or something else. Again, just dragging it out.

Compare this to Heartland Homicide. That show is big on information and goes at a much better pace. This series should have 30 minute episodes, or they should put more into the time they have. Heartland Homicide is one of my favorite crime series, and I had high hopes for this one, but I was left severely disappointed. Stop milking the show, and make it good!

Very well done! Each episode has some resolution eventually. Sometimes it's 10+ years later. But it feels good to know these murders were caught. The stories are told in a tasteful and compassionate way, with all the family and friends being a part of the story, you get to know the people. It also makes it terribly sad but as someone with a horribly murdered loved one, it resonates with me very much. I think they're cathartic for me. Def one of the best of true crime that I've watched.

Fascinating, in-depth true crime stories; however, I have seen several episodes with careless typos in the screen title cards ("supect" instead of "suspect," "tounge" instead of "tongue"). The show needs a proofreader!
