From reading the other reviews, I would say they are not true aficianados of the genre. Michelle Trachtenberg is terrible, though. Her makeup and wardrobe for the show make her look old and weird. And whoever scripted her dialogue has no compassion for the families involved. But the stories themselves are at least some I haven't seen before. And the telling of the tales is credible and adequate. There are too many different "experts" per episode, though. The show should have taken more time to look at the unfolding of events rather than analyzing what might have been going on in people's heads. The episode "Cheater's Collision Course" is the best.
I've been watching this on YouTube. I like it. But have to take breaks because of it being so disturbing. But I guess I've watched all the ones on YouTube. Which is also disturbing. I just wondered if they were making anymore of them.
I love true crime shows, so I was excited to start this series. I do like how they make awareness of domestic abuse for both men and women. The stories themselves are pretty interesting and intriguing. The narrator has a good voice and there's a good mix of British and American stories. The thing is, all of the "experts" are annoying. The editing job makes them look bad. They repeat themselves over and over again. Why do we need to hear from a criminologist and journalist talk about the same thing over and over again? It also doesn't help that the same experts are in every episode and they talk like they know the people intimately when in reality they're probably just reading cue cards.
It's a long series, some episodes are worth watching, some aren't. Sometimes there's a little too much glee put into the delivery, you have to remember that these are real people.
I've worked my way through the series, and there are definitely some interesting cases, as someone who's lived a very safe, sheltered, typical 9 to 5 life, it's something of an eye opener to see the lives some people have.
The most shocking episode, by far, the story of Manling Tsang Williams, honestly, the embodiment of evil.
Killings both in The UK and USA, we see both male and female killers. One issue I have the whole way though, the bias in how killers of both sexes are treated, the men are always, quite rightly vilified, each one of them is made out to be monstrous, no arguments.....the female killers however are not given the same vitriol, one so called expert in particular is hugely guilty of such bias.
There's a lot of Police bashing throughout, you won't here any positives about the many dedicated and honest Police who strive to keep us safe, any excuse to twist the knife, in it goes.
7/10.

I prefer this "Meet, Marry, Murder" series over the other series of the same title with Michelle Trachtenberg. I do like that there's a combination of US and UK cases, many of which I have not previously heard about.
Many of the cases are interesting...HOWEVER, a few of the "experts" are overly dramatic and unnecessary. Why, why, why is Carolyn Canville, the journalist not speaking to the audience, but looking off sideways? It's beyond distracting and quite annoying. Also, Brian Harris, the former police officer constantly repeats himself, again very annoying. These "experts" add nothing to the show when the actual narrator is able to explain the cases in a much more reasonable tone and manner.
