Murder 24/7

Takes you inside real life murder investigations in real time. It's not a recreation. After watching so many ridiculous fictional US police shows this is a mind blowing dose of reality. You follow real detectives as they review CCTV footage and find suspects, dredge drains and find weapons, question witnesses and gather leads. We get insights into the stresses of homicide policing and these people. Well edited and shot with a good balance of focus on the procedure but also the people involved. Must see TV.

The level of access for the cameras is impressive. You see everything but the dead body, which elevates this show above many true crime shows relying on recreations. The pacing is good, the police were very professional and respectful, and the show provides some insight into a murder investigation.

Unfortunately, the show comes up short in the entertainment department. There is some suspense as to when and how they will fund their suspects, but ultimately there is no mystery here. The second crime was even caught on video, which was pretty digsusting to watch. A couple of the interrogations were interesting, but too much time was spent on the "No comment," interrogations.

Again, if you want realism then this is the show for you. If you want drama, mystery, and intrigue then you might have to find a fictional show or a true crime show such as Murder Board that focuses on narrowing down suspects.

Investigation into the murder of courtney valentine. what makes this special is the way they follow the investigation. we are live there. from the call the murder was reported to each step the police takes, the apprehension of suspects, questioning of suspects, the forensic investigation... we are there.

i recommend this to anyone who is interested in crime, crime procedure or who contemplates a career in that field.

The action starts, then it stops so he can talk about it, then it rewinds and starts but stops again, ad nauseum. You never get to see the full clip all at once, just snippets. I suggest they play the whole clip once the analyze it. And they show the same thing over and over, 10-15 times and it gets boring.

After watching the first three episodes I'm absolutely hooked. I knew some of the processes which took place but the behind the scene footage was more than I expected it to be. Full respect to the police officers and forensic experts involved in filming this. Hoping to see more of the forensic side in next weeks episodes. Hopefully this won't be a one off series. Warning though the images and video footage is quite disturbing to see
