While this show belongs under the true crime rubric, it is quite possibly the single worst true-crime TV series of all time, and that's saying something given all of the abysmal shows in this genre. Other than interviews with cops (who knows if they're real?), there is absolutely nothing in this show that connects it to reality. Everything, and I mean everything, is dramatized, recreated, and it's all immensely repetitive. There's no photograph of the victim, there's no crime-scene footage or photographs or newspaper articles; there's not even a photograph of the criminal. To whom could this possibly be of interest? Certainly not true-crime enthusiasts, who prefer to hear and see as much detail and actual documentary material as is possible. This program is the polar opposite of that ideal. People who want fiction watch the CSIs and Law and Orders of the television world. It boggles the mind that this unwatchable trash actually lasted 7 seasons. No one involved in this production should ever work in TV or film again.
