Me, Hereafter

There's no spark of life in this series. It's just so slow that it is morose and melancholy in itself. 5 minutes *feels* like an hour.

It's like it's filmed and edited.. then slowed down to 3/4 speed and produced. All the speech from everyone is slow in nature... No one seems to speak with a normal pace. All the narration and "talking heads" just convey a sense of "sleepiness" - as if you want to tell then to "spit it out already". The scenes are slow moving... slow fades to black or transitions between everything... the soundtrack is slow meandering tones....

It's as if the producers were loaded up on sedatives, then finalized this.

This may be great for some, but honestly, it'll put me to sleep. It's akin to listening to a relaxation audio lesson. Shame.. victims will be lost due to the very poor production.

The notion of a victim telling their own story was interesting... but this is just the WORST way it could have been done.

I just binged watched all of the episodes and wow! Very sad and heartbreaking stories! First and foremost I send my love and condolences to each and every family member of these horrific, senseless crimes! However, seeing and hearing these stories from the victims perspective was different and chilling, but capturing. I wish there were more episodes! This was a good start to a new series.

Job well done to the producers! The overall show was well done, it looked amazing in quality, it wasn't rushed, the pieces of the story came together perfectly and kept you on the edge of your seat! I didn't want to miss a second of it!

Honestly, how dare anyone who touched the creation of this series: the narcissism and disrespect of choosing to speak for someone who is dead. It feels macabre, it feels arrogant for people to be like 'Oh yeah that's totally what she would say lets put that': even with the family participation in the creation of the episodes it is WILDLY out of place and does nothing but sound contrived and feel gross. Some random voice-over person saying "It won't bring me back, but in a way I'm STILL here" in a sad voice just does NOT do any part of a victim justice and completely detracts from a pretty standard Real Crime docuseries. The crimes were FASCINATING, but every time someone chimed in like a weird ghost hanging out in the back of the squad car with the detectives, it just KILLED whatever was going on.

THE AUDACITY to believe that someone can speak for someone who is already gone, let alone someone who was murdered! I find it very very disrespectful.

The voice overs were even worse trying hard to put emotion and intonations ---- they just straight up killed empathy!

Save your "appreciate the effort of the people who made the series". This was exaggerated and disgustingly tried to show "care" for the victims. It's hiprocacy at its finest!

STOP doing series like this which brings to life the victims' "what cpuld have been thoughts".

Lastly, STOP ugly, emotional voice overs. I don't care who did it because these voice actors were nauseaus to listen to.

If you like true crime as much as I do, you should watch Me Hereafter. It is 100% the most unique take on true crime that I have ever seen. It weaves the voices of the dead with the voices of the living. And it is incredible.

Two episodes that really hit me hard are the 1st and the 4th episodes. One dealt with the murder of an indigenous woman in Fargo, North Dakota. The missing and murdered indigenous women issue in the upper Midwest is not taken nearly as seriously as it should be. The producers of Me Hereafter realized the impact of this on the community and told the story that needed to be told.

The other episode that really hit home was "The Funeral Home Murders," which took a hard look at clerical sexual abuse, which is something that too many people want to ignore or justify. Me Hereafter didn't do that. They exposed it.
