Well presented true crime episodes. You will see the crime through the eyes of the family of the victim, the perpetrators and their families, police, forensics and prosecutors. The parts that are reenactments are well done and kept to a minimum.
It certainly is worth a watch.
A more traditional retelling of crimes committed against small town everyday type people - a unique premise. As a fan of the more gritty hard-nosed crime series I find the sentimental victim music starts to annoy me a bit, but the telling of each crime is well done and structured nicely. It’s a series for the mainstream crime curious.
