Paula Does A Good Show But Why Are There No Crimes Against Men On This Show In The Days of Pc Are There No Crimes Against Men In The World ???
On the whole, I think this is an excellent series. But I only want to see one season every other year. Because every episode is exactly the same format, the same look and feel, the same questions (like "And how did you feel when they told you your sister had died?"), and after 3-4 episodes you begin to realize this is all there is to it. Murder, tell family, wrong guy is the chief suspect, years pass, and suddenly a clue leads to the discovery and prosecution of the real murderer. It is horribly predictable that the horror of the killing of a human being is reduced to such a pat formula. And as for Paula Zahn, I don't know her in real life. But on these shows I never see an ounce of emotion or even the slightest change in expression or tone of voice as she reels off the next question. In fact, they could have taped her asking 10 basic questions and just used those over and over. Because they don't actually show her on-set with the people who are answering the questions. Like a robotic news correspondent.
If I could hear the dialog on this show over the background sound track I would rate it a 10. I have to turn on subtitles to know what's being said half the time. VERY ANNOYING!!!
I really liked this show. However, in recent seasons the "background" music is way too loud and plays for the entire episode. It has taken so much away from the show. I spent so much time trying to hear what was being said over that horribly loud and never ending music, I just stopped watching.
I would like to give a show a higher rating, but a lot of the cases are missing so many details that are important, I can't do it. I end up looking up the cases and finding out tons of things that didn't make it into the show and it makes me question what kind of viewpoint they are angling for.
