Beetlescott I love this show! The actual detective narrates, and the actors so far are spot on!!!

Good-Will The concept is great, but why did they pick these particular detectives? They are all pretty eloquent and the cases are interesting, but they aren't very involving to me after watching a load of documentaries like "Making a Murderer", "The Staircase" and "The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst". Admittedly those are all series which took time to explore the facts, but this semi-dramatisation seems to fall at the first hurdle which is the one where the cases are actually fascinating. I think that there's a series to be made here in the same style but with unsolved murders/killings/whatever, but this gets very boring very quickly because the cases aren't fully explored. The detectives are great and hats off to them, but either tell the whole story or don't bother. Very average so 5/10.

adfergz I have often been tearful by the end of an episode as the stories told by the detective involved has obviously had an enormous impact on their own personal lives. They have lived and breathed the case, often sacrificing their own happiness in their private lives, either with family, or the battle with some form of alcoholic addiction needed to cope and numb the pain. You cannot help but feel for these policemen who have dedicated so much mentally to get justice for the victims, who are often children, which makes it even more heartbreaking as the empathetic viewer I am. Only a few true crime documentaries have ever had me so hooked. Another of note being "Homicide Hunter" with Lt Joe Kenda. These stories will have you hooked from start to finish!

Robert W. Anderson I can't get over how good this show is! The show, each week follows one murder case and the detective who investigated it. The detectives appear and narrate as the story is recreated by actors. The stories are very well told. And the honesty of the real life reactions to the retelling of these stories is incredibly engaging. These detectives have been scarred for life by these experiences. The wear and tear on them has worn into their faces. And can be heard in their voices. The recreations are very well cast. And the production value of each episode is incredible. The look and feel of this series is just great. Not something I was expecting from a TV show. The cinematography is warm and rich. Something you'd expect on the big screen. The title design really grabs you. The images cause you watch every moment even if you've DVR'd it (and you could just blaze past it). This is really excellent television. And if you like a factual retelling of the investigation of homicides. You'll love this show.
