The Real Murders on Elm Street

Overall, I have enjoyed this show so far. I was disappointed in the fourth episode because of the violent depictions of the murder. These were not included in the other episodes, especially at that level. I think it was extremely insensitive considering not all the victim's family members were comfortable being interviewed for the show. I am comfortable watching more gory or violent movies or shows, however when telling real people's stories it is important to remember the victims still have friends and family members who may watch the episode to see how the victim was depicted. And if I had known the victim in this episode, that would have been traumatizing and triggering to watch.

The Real Murders on Elm Street is fundamentaly a good idea for a crime series, as there are many Elm Streets around the US, and have been perhaps surprisingly many particularly dire murder cases in these streets, which naturally fits a reality follow up of the.1984 horror classic Nightmare on Elm Street. Without going over the top or making annoying exaggerations the creators manage to get this documentary rather scary cinematographically, with dark mode dramatizations, and some effects and classical edge of or jumping in the seat means of action. Together with a well composed music score this works effectively, at least in the first episode, which stands out among the four produced so far. If the creators can find back to more of this in episode five and six, the total might come up to 8/10 in my view.

Youtubers makes better Documentary Than this. It's Just A Podcast With Stupid Visual That are nothing to with Actual Crime scene. I bought Yearly Subscription Of discovery Plus thinking That might see some Good crime Documentary but most of them are just podcast Or voice over Very Disappointed Although Animal Releted Shows are nice.

The 80s horror movie spin they put on this show is really unique. I watch a lot of true crime and most of the shows are a cookie cutter of one another.....but not this one! It does have some of the typical production that you see with true crime, but you can tell they put a lot of thought and effort into giving it an 80s horror movie vibe.

So far, the cases have been interesting (especially the first episode) and well researched. Hopefully the rest of the season plays out just as good!

The only thing I don't like is that they release the episodes on a weekly basis rather than all at once... Let me binge this MAX! All in all? This show is unique, and I am a fan.

As an avid true crime viewer, it's rare to find a new show that's worth watching, but this one is an exception. It's well presented, doesn't suffer from overly-cheesy "re-enactments', and it profiles some interesting cases.

The Elm Street connections are of minimal interest, but also not a big deal. So far, it's avoided excessive recaps and time wasting, "coming up..." teasers-- that alone makes it rare within the genre.

As true crime shows go, this one's a solid 8. It's not exactly Dateline, but it's nowhere near as cringeworthy as those "I Married A Murderer" type shows with the painful narration.

I hope this one lasts a while, assuming the current quality is maintained.
