Heartland Homicide

Get some competent, un-weird/obnoxious/samctimonious "commentators" with some experience outside of Canada. Things work different in the U. S., and some of the "experts" seem to be oblivious in that regard.

Between the woman who appears to be gasping and laboring with every syllable, the motor mouth lawyer and the way too hypocritical former RCMP guy espousing the virtues of indigenous people (in spite of the RCMP's woeful history of callous indifference to the plight of said people), this is just a lame attempt at appearing relevant and sincere.

It's a great concept and there are unfortunately far too many cases for subject matter but the "credentials" of the spokespeople are inadequate.

The show is good. However, I can't stand Benji Greenberg's nasal voice. Her unnecessary comments & voice make it very difficult to tolerate. My mother taught me to speak from the diaphragm. Nasal speech is a form of childhood whining. The show is good. However, I can't stand Benji Greenberg's nasal voice. Her unnecessary comments & voice make it very difficult to tolerate.

I didn't need to use a lot of words.

The stories are good. Not repeats off other shows as true crime shows often have. As someone who has watched every true crime show on every streaming network, I am glad to find another one. However, the legal expert, Benji Greenberg has such pronounced vocal fry (fake millennial Kardashian accent) that it's incredibly irritating every time she speaks. I can barely stand it. Beyond that, the shows decent enough. The actors seem realistic enough. T h e constant recaps kind of drag things out and it can be a little slow but that's ok. I like the show except for Greenberg's Kardashian imitation. I wish she'd stop.

In a really misguided effort to dramatize these crimes this series moves at a contrived snails pace, and could easily have been a 1/2 hour show or even less, which honestly may have been pretty decent. But by the time it jerks the viewer around with misleading dramatizations, really poor actor portrayals, and intentionally confusing time and story lines which make little sense, I wasted 45 minutes of my life.

I thought episode one was relatively interesting but progressively worse after that. I had to constantly fast forward through the incredibly repetitive recaps, multiple times during the show. Finally bailing after Episode 10, it was the last straw.

This is like a dream where the events are being played out in slow motion. Even the narrator's voice is an agonizingly drawn out monotone. I checked to see if I could change the speed settings, but no. The choice of crimes is great -- I had not heard of any of the first three crime episodes, and I watch a lot of true crime. If the script, dialogue, acting and direction had been done well, I wouldn't stop at the third episode. I stopped at the third episode. A lot of the "action" is even filmed in slow motion and the same scenes shown multiple times in one episode. Maybe that was supposed to create suspense, but once was more than enough. Just. Plain. Stupid. Z-z-z-z-zzzzz.
