Me, Hereafter

I started crying almost immediately when I started watching episode one of Me Hereafter - First, She Stole My Baby. I knew immediately that the ending was going to be heartbreaking. But the producers were able to bring a sense of hope after such pain. And that makes this an incredible series.

The premise of the series is one that was new to me. "Hearing from the dead" is something I've seen in a few movies, but never in a true crime series. That was incredibly powerful, But what made it even more powerful is how the producers were able to weave the testimony from those left behind. To hear them talk about the victim - someone who lived, who loved, who was as flawed as any one of us - was so impactful. It made the stories much more relatable by tying together the voices of those who were killed and those who were left behind.

These aren't easy stories to hear. But they are stories that need to be told. Stories of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and clerical abuse are often told with "kid gloves." The filmmakers for Me Hereafter told them with empathy and passion.

Watch this series. You won't be sorry.

Great series that cares a lot about the victims of these terrible crimes. Brings the audience into the stories in ways I've never seen before. Highly recommend.

The cinematography and pacing help the audience become immersed. It's thoughtful and spends a lot of time exploring being a family member or friend of these victims.

It's not easy to watch...and it shouldn't be. Kudos to Hulu and the producers of this show for taking the time to tell these stories in the way they should be told. Not exploiting anything and bringing the audience in. If you're looking for stories that will make you think and feel, then this is the series for you.

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.

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!

Thank you so much for creating this series. I found it to be such a beautiful way for the deceased to be remembered. I also thought that the families that spoke on behalf of their loved ones were very courageous in doing so. There is so much PTSD when reliving these traumatic and horrific events. I have worked in the funeral business and in production of films and to me the producers of this series hit the nail on the head when dealing with the sensitivities of death and the stories behind them. No one knows better than family and close friends what their loved ones would be thinking at those times then them. Thank you for creating this series, wonderfully made!
