Crimes of the Century

Content was fine but the thing that bothered me the most was the fuzzy voice closeups in random spots are such a weird choice. It made me cringe every time. I pushed through most of the episodes but wow that was tough. It's like the editors pulled times out of a hat of when I do these annoying edits. Hopefully they have learned from all these reviews.

I came here to post a review because it was driving me nuts but I started laughing when I saw every single review I read was saying the same thing. Here I thought I'd be alone but comically, I wasn't.

It will be ok if you can get through the above mentioned.

Literally never have I been so annoyed by the editing of a docuseries. I love true crime; I've never seen it ruined so badly. What were they thinking?

I need to second GrowTesk's appraisal of the editing skills displayed in this series. I find the writing and subject material very interesting and logically planned, but whoever was in charge of the decisions to end all talking head sound bites with a stylized, sound modulated black and white close-up for dramatic emphasis needs to be drummed out of the business. Whoever hired them needs to be slapped and fired. The snapshot sound effects for every still was overused and passé. The overbearing and intrusive 'background' music was discordant and obstructive. This type of hackneyed, lazy, immature treatment of the topics practically ruined the experience for me. It actually made me angry after a short while, and I had to stop watching.

Had to turn this off after 5 minutes for due to the terrible editing. What the hell were they thinking. Distorting voices, framing video in small frames, chopping the video every 2 seconds. This went from something that could have been good to a massive disaster in second. Please don't ever how the editors again. No one should be made to suffer from this horrendous editing ever again.

This show would be SO perfect if the voices didn't change every so frequently and maybe change the music in some scenes. It's a great show just hard to watch a little because of the stupid voice changes.
