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.
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.
On the case is a good show but every time Paula ask someone" did you kill this person? I cringe and laugh like really you think someone is going to say yes I killed that person Paula, on tv? You been asking that dumb question for 24 years and no one has said yes , it's the dumbest question you ask, sometimes you even ask the police, did you ask them if they killed that person and the police be like umm it ain't like they are gonna say duhh yeah I killed that guy lolol Also annoying is saying the case went cold a lot is also annoying, and asking ppl how they felt when they saw there loved ones murdered, but overall a good show at least you show a lot of murders solved that to years and you give the families and place to vent and talk about what happened.
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 ???
I've been watching this show for years and it's okay. The only thing I would like to see more of is diversity when it comes to the victims. Men get murdered as well. People of color get murdered as well. Other than that, it's a decent show.
