Murder 24/7

Two episodes in an will definitely stick with it. Just love watching cocky Crims slowly crumble. Good coverage of all the disciplines involved in putting a case together. A collosal amount of man/woman power involved. The whole program is low key which accentuates the realism . Will update review on conclusion of the series. Having now watched the whole of the first series I stand by original comments but would add that the second half of episode 3 told a tale that left me speechless. Never have I seen a crime story of this nature, quite extraordinary and not to be missed. I rarely say this but... Let's have series 2.

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

A good show, interesting and well put together. The police officer in Episode 4/5 is a bully though (including to his colleagues to whom he was rude and patronising) and he seemed a lot more focussed on a conviction than the truth.

The BBC's 'Murder 24/7' is in many ways a straightforward copy of Channel 4's '24 Hours on Police Custody', albeit with even more relience on police bodycam footage and an exclusive focus on the worst of crimes. I find it riveting, and the odd thing is how often I end up sympathetising with the perpetrators, even when they have done the worst of things: what happens to a person to make them into a murderer? It's not exactly feel-good TV, but it is both gripping and (at least for me) thought provoking.
