This show is really a great show in My opinion. It shows reenactments and the real thing. Its on the Discovery Channel every week. Some of the cases are graphic because these things really happened and are not made up. I would not recommend a young child to watch this program without the guidance of a parent. The show gives the viewer the knowledge of how the F.B.I., Detectives, and Police Officers do their work that is not as easy as you would think. The show is an excellent program to watch for people who love to see real crimes getting solved and killers getting jailed. If you like to see real crimes getting solved then I strongly recommend that you check out the Discovery Channel and watch this show today!
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.
Most of the episodes are okay, but the two-part stories tend to really bog down. They could have easily covered the details in a single episode, and I found myself losing interest in the tedium.
Every single episode is started with a monologue, where the narrator spoils the entire episode and even reveals exactly how the key evidence was found.
It's painfully obvious that this was not a decision by the creators, but rather by the narrator demanding that every episode start with a close in on his face. Whether it's for self-promotion, or that he sincerely believed we viewers want to see his face more is unclear, but this makes the entire series unwatchable.

It puts you at the scene of the crime!
It's very factual and informative.
