Having only seen the first episode so far, this looks to be a better than average offering in the true crime genre simply because it uses a fair amount of actual video & audio recordings instead of relying exclusively on the cheesy re-enactments so often used in other series. If future episodes are as good or better than the premier this series has good potential, although one hopes the producers can dig up some interesting cases that haven't already been profiled elsewhere and that they resist the urge to treat viewers like idiots, as is the case with many offerings in this type of show.
I dont know what the person who rated the show a 5 is talking about.. This show is just as good as the First 48 which is one of my favorite shows of all time but I think this show has way more adrenaline filled moments than the First 48 so much so that during the "Help..! Help...! Don't shoot me.. I can't see you.. Where are you? I'm right in front of you ma'am" episode I was literally on the edge of my seat squirming and I found myself holding my breath and making small jerking movements trying to will the officer to hurry up and clear the house so he could give aid to that woman and I had that feeling during several episodes.. It's all real and none of the over the top re-enactments that are plagued by many true crime shows and where the First 48 usually focuses more on the detectives making the case so once you've seen a few episodes from places like Tulsa, Memphis and New Orleans the detectives are so likable that the viewer ends up feeling like they have a relationship with that detective and that's because the show is geared more towards creating that relationship where as TMT's encompasses every aspect of the the crime from the detectives searching for and making the arrest to the forensics making sure there's evidence to convict and finally to judgment day.. It is a supremely well made and well rounded show and I just don't understand why someone would give this show a 5 star rating unless it's from a producer of TF48 feeling the pressure from greatness creeping up from behind..
I've binge watched a LOT of these types of series, and this one is the best I've seen so far. The interviews of the victims' families and friends are well done and sympathetic, as well as tastefully produced. Even the interviews with some law enforcement is done well. Other series fail in this area.
What I have observed though is the lack of professionalism of some of the emergency operators. I'd say half of the 911 calls played here are questionable at best. The operators have attitudes or ask really odd questions in the middle of these calls. It makes me hesitant to ever dial 911 if I ever have an emergency. One caller was asking for assistance and the operator kept asking what color the victim was, which was not visible to the caller, which he repeated to the dense operator more than once. They never ask if the caller is safe or in danger, they just ask questions off a script.
I do recommend this series for people who like this type of "entertainment".

Love the fact that this show uses police recorded interviews and body cam footage to tell the story.
This is really well done. No long boring narrations. Just facts and live video footage. Enjoy!
