Deadly Women

This my favorite true life reenactment style program. And Candice Delong and the other hosts present facts mixed with humor that entertain and enlighten me every episode.

I have always loved true crime, so naturally I fell in love with this show. Female killers aren't a common topic among people like me and are usually brushed under the rug. I found all these cases fascinating. I love how the show is formatted, three stories in one episode. Each one has snippets of the events (acted and dramatised) and clips of a former FBI profiler Candice DeLong. The acting ranges from bad to good but it was never bad enough to take me out of the experience. And I honestly don't care what accents the actors and actresses have, it was filmed in Australia and getting actors with proper accents would have been time consuming. The show isn't perfect though, I find the narration at the beginning pretty cheesy and the events are sometimes so overdramatic I can't take them seriously. Overall a great watch, even if you aren't into true crime.

Everyone looks for men to murder,but what about women? Young girls and teenage girls do it to, this show is real and makes you wonder what the women were thinking. I didn't realize how many women murderers are out there, some kill their own kids, some their husbands/boyfriends, some their friends or parents, some even random strangers. Women can be just as cruel and heartless as men can, and Deadly Women proves it. Some women kill because of jealousy, money, love, or because they have mental problems, my favorites are the women who kill for power. This show features a criminal psychologist who gives you insight to what the women were going through or feeling, and different ways their murders could have been prevented.

I wasn't sure if Sylvia Likens Case was added to their episode. I've never seen it if they did. With Gertrude Baniszewski playing the big role towards how she was treated before her death. & How she behaved towards Sylvia's sister as well. There are some evil women out there that they can pretend to be your biggest fan! But once your back is turned they won't just hurt you. But they will destroy you all together. When there are good & bad they sure make bad show through all their Evil & Dirty Little Secret's!!

This is almost a circus freak show production of female murderers. As such, I found it very entertaining. Should murder be entertaining? The format, where many episodes touch on 3 different murderers and their victims in 22 minutes, is necessarily boiled down to just the facts, ma'am. It spares no detail, no bloody reinactments, no horror. But what does bother me is almost none of them show actual pictures of the real victims. So we only get to see pretty actors playing the parts, and this makes it all seem rather vacuous and stagey. Nevertheless, I like true crime and the series introduced me to criminals I had not heard of before. And it was daunting to realize how deadly the female of the species can be. Also it is blatantly obvious and a little disturbing how DeLong has the time of her life making witty comments and double intendres while wearing a variety of wigs and cosmetics. Kinda weird.
