Dossiers FBI

The show features some interesting cases but suffers hugely from storytelling. It's really, really slow and takes its sweet time to describe cases where so much time is wasted on details that don't matter and narrator keeps repeating the same things over and over just to fill 60 minutes.

If they reduced episode time to 30 mins, tightened storytelling and reduced repetitiveness and slow narration style, this could have been a much better show.

The show is great! In my opinion, it's a lot better than CSI, because it isn't as explicit as CSI is. It shows crimes that we haven't heard of from the past. It can be a little scary for little children to watch, because when they go over the sentencing for the criminals or fugitives, it shows the photos of the people that committed a crime. Most of my friends wished the show wouldn't be canceled in 2006. But the New Detectives is a lot like FBI Files, and it is still on the road. Watching crime shows is interesting and cool, but can show graphic and explicit scenes that can be offensive for children under 13.

It puts you at the scene of the crime!

It's very factual and informative.

For years I've watched episodes of "The FBI Files" and still catch some reruns from time to time on digital TV. And it was such a real series that had footage and actual recounted act outs of real life crimes that occurred. You name it from well known murders like serial killings, bank robberies, kidnapping and abduction cases, and cases that involved murder sprees and organized crimes with the mafia. The series was so informative and entertaining and most of the cases closed out with justice as many of the cases featured were solved or ended with justice and criminals being caught. Also featured were actual interviews with victims and FBI agents and many episodes gave a behind the scenes look at the investigations. Overall good series if you enjoy a series about real life crimes.

great show, pity it leaves out the evidence that doesn't support their story. Also very misleading, it shows pictures of the "crime scene" however they too are reenactments and incorrect ones at that It has the potential to be a halfway decent show if it was done with an unbiased view. They seemed to bend the "evidence" to suit their story and that the officials want to see. What wasn't mentioned was that the case shown has had the sentence overturned and is also being retried, due to new evidence (old evidence that had been reassessed) and makes it impossible for the crime to happen the way it was outlined. If they pick up their standard and look at cases from a neutral view it could be a passable show
