Just watched my first episode.
I thought it was pretty good until I googled the news reports and found out the show totally changed the story.
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!
This series is pretty typical of the true crime format: You hear the details from loved ones of the victims while police fill in the rest. Unlike some series of this type there is very little recreation of the events that are being described, probably due to a relatively small budget.
Drone photography has made way more of these shows possible, because even with a small budget you can get sweeping, dramatic landscape shots without much money spent. And the landscape shots in this show are impressive.
Unfortunately, due to a lack of recreations and the small budget, it's all the other non-drone photography that falls short in this series. There are so so many shots, weird random shots of the subjects being interviewed. There must be some directive from the producers that they get a lingering slow motion shot of everyone's backside. There are also tons of random shots of people doing their jobs. Feeding cows. Cutting the grass. Making biscuits. Just a lot of whatever camera work while someone talks in the background.
The production itself is also sloppy in that some of the details are just wrong. Incorrect dates displayed on the screen. Typos. Kind of amateur hour.
The stories themselves are okay, most are easy to follow and tell a concise narrative.
But with so many true crime shows out there, this one is among the sloppiest I've seen.

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!!
This show is actually quite compelling. I have seen so many true crime series, so I've developed a taste for the good and the bad. I will stop a show/series especially true crime series, if they aren't interesting.
I'm now on season 2 episode 4. In stayed up watching last night till 5am, and woke up desperate to see more the next day. I'm binging big time on this show.
It's interesting stories, very well put together and very well filmed and constructed. This is truly good tv! Very good at showing the humanity of the victim and always includes their families, so it's very emotionally addictive. Love it.
