walnutqueen July 30, 2015 Share July 30, 2015 When, oh when will we ever learn that we are not in any way responsible for our ancestors' actions? My goodness, everyone has HISTORY; plenty of people overcome their own parents' misbehavior every day. The only shame you should bear is for your own bad actions (otherwise, I'd be ashamed for way more than half the people on TV today, nevermind my cultural history!). Evil Kin, Schmievel Kin - I have the very good, the very bad and the very ugly in my immediate family ... BFD. Makes no difference to the person I am, and am responsible for.

The S...L...O...W sing-song narration is so distracting. But the weirdest thing in my opinion is when reinacting the crime, they do everything in the dark with a strange blue light off in the distance. The police stations are almost pitch dark while they are questioning suspects, and when the go into a house, and they are looking for evidence, they use flashlights even after they are there for a long time. No electricity? But when they show the autopsies done in almost complete darkness, that is too much. I suppose they think it adds drama, but it doesn't. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2691-general-true-crime-shows/page/19/#findComment-1373962

damalanop August 1, 2015 Share August 1, 2015 Did anyone else watch Untouchable: Power Corrupts last night? Last night's episode profiled a New Jersey attorney who first was a US Attorney and then became a successful defense attorney (the name escapes me right now). This guy...he became "successful" by fixing juries and indirectly ordering hits on witnesses. Later he began pimping women and trafficking drugs. I thought the show was pretty good, actually. Perhaps it was because I'd never heard this story before and it was a welcome break from the re-hashed, re-packaged murder cases that ID is now rife with. One of the talking heads helping to tell the story was the real-life US Attorney played by Russell Crowe who was featured opposite Denzel Washington's Frank Lucas in "American Gangster". 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2691-general-true-crime-shows/page/19/#findComment-1376949

And claimed self-defense. Probably will never be charged. Not much of a crime scene. No witnesses.I am guessing (hoping!) that major drugs and alcohol were involved in your reported dispute. No excuse but maybe a partial explanation? Wow. These things can wear ya' out! Saw a 20/20 that was not only new to me but one that I was thrilled to see. The episode was named "Survivor" and it was based on events retold by a surviving victim which she recounted in her book This Strange Piece of Paradise. I read this book and it was so incredibly powerful that I had always wondered about and wanted to somehow see this surviving-victim author. And there she was! Her point of view as victim was really something and her tenacity over the years was unflagging. I wish I had seen the entire episode. I will never forget her or the book and recommend both/either.

I actually saw two in the last week or so -- one was the murder of that blond girl, Brooke Wilberger, the other was this season's first episode of The Perfect Murder about that woman who was killed at the construction site. Both of those stories have been done soooooo many times, yet these were billed as "new" shows and they interviewed family members, etc., and all of these family members have all been interviewed on the other shows as well. So, here's what I wonder: Do these families just keep saying yes to interviews about their loved ones deaths, or are the interviews reused? I can't imagine, if that happened to me (god forbid!)

In some of the stories (of murders) repeated in different formats, it's obvious the survivors/loved ones are older than in the original 20/20, or whatever program where they were first interviewed. Nor could I imagine even giving one interview after such a horrific event However, as it's been said many times, people deal with grief in different ways - they may feel better talking about it (& sharing their grief with 10 million viewers).

Released miles from where she was picked up.

To kill with your relatives, well, crazy families, and plenty of women will do anything to keep a man. But to follow some of these weird religions, preachers, cults, whatever, and do what they say no matter what? I can't even imagine. It also kind of makes me laugh when the ID channel shows highlight some of these very religious people who commit crimes and present it as so surprising because they were a minister, or rabbi or attended church regularly -- don't they watch their own channel? 8 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2691-general-true-crime-shows/page/19/#findComment-1402221
aurora296 August 11, 2015 Share August 11, 2015 Finally watched the new episode of Deadly Woman. I have a love for this series, mainly because it was the first one I really got hooked on from the ID channel or whatever it was called during it's early years. Plus, the narrator of the episodes can do no wrong in my book. Her creepy/ campy affect is just to die for. well,....not literally. One improvement in the episodes is they post an actual picture of the murderer at the end of each story. Nice touch. I don't know how much longer this one can be on. How many more female killers are there? Well, Karla Homolka was never portrayed, but i think laws are much stricter in Canada regarding media coverage and in my opinion the crazy bitch got off too easy. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2691-general-true-crime-shows/page/19/#findComment-1404670
applecrisp August 11, 2015 Share August 11, 2015 Aurora. Deadly Women was my first too. I had stumbled across it and it and it did scare me. I think Wicked Attractions was on after. That show was too much. People who kill together really, really scare me because if someone loses their nerve someone else will do it. Also, one person will egg on another to do violent things. The pack mentality or something. We can be ugly as a group. I like that they show crimes from the UK and other places. Snapped has been on for years and stiil no shortage, 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2691-general-true-crime-shows/page/19/#findComment-1404856
Rina99 August 14, 2015 Share August 14, 2015 Based on what happens in the news daily, I don't think we have to worry about a shortage of female killers anytime soon. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2691-general-true-crime-shows/page/19/#findComment-1415211
Taylorh2 August 15, 2015 Share August 15, 2015 Deadly Women is really bad. It's just a lot of 'soft-core porn. I don't watch it anymore 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2691-general-true-crime-shows/page/19/#findComment-1418121

I know I've seen Karla Homolka's story portrayed on at least one ID show, though I can't recall which. They all sort of blend together ... and congeal. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2691-general-true-crime-shows/page/19/#findComment-1418914
