Heartland Homicide

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.

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.

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.

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.

I enjoy this series but they need to replace the female lawyer, Benji Greenberg. This woman's mouth and voice drive me crazy and I'm glad I'm not the only one! I fast forward it when she starts talking. Another thing that makes me nuts is the constant, repetitive music played throughout these shows. They also at times have 4 people saying the SAME EXACT THING, all in a row! Some of these 45 minute shows could be done in 20 minutes. The show, Paranormal Witness, has the psychic investigator repeating what the victim of the haunting literally JUST said! There's no need for this. Please stop it!!
