Being a southerner myself, I was intrigued by this one. The best thing about it however is the title. I was appalled at the southern belle drinking tea and commenting on the episodes. She may have sounded Southern, but had more of a caustic yankee commentary that truly destroys the entire southern charm thing! I was not surprised she was not back for the other seasons. People must have written in complaining! If I had TV when shows were actually new (we stream everything, so these are years old by the time they get to streaming!) then I would've written in to complain too! Yes, southern women can be catty or caustic as well. But that shouldn't be utilized on something as sensitive as murders, where families are grieving. I like this one better than the other 2 I've watched....but sadly that's not saying much.

Main gripe is that the title does NOT match the series at all. There were only 2 or 3 episodes where the "body" was found in the wonderland, forested, areas. The rest of them occurred in cities. Second gripe is WHY does everyone doing documentaries use annoying music in the back ground? It's not like the narrative needs enhancing. Why can't someone be advant guard enough to toss the music out??? Lastly, I realize there probably is not a huge budget for these types of documentaries. But if you're going to do reenactments, come on, you need people with some acting skills! Most of these actors were wooden at best and downright awful at worst. I find human nature fascinating but unless the rest of the documentaries out there improve, I'm giving up on them!

Reminds me too much of "Prizze's Honor", starring Kathleen Turner, Angelica Huston and Jack Nicholson; whom all the critics' also raved about back in it's day (1985).
