As a forensic scientist I have always found myself drawn to true-crime stories and the investigation around them. Most are done ok, some are done quite well and others are woeful.
This unfortunately, is the latter.
It's like one of those 'clickbait' links that say 'you'll never believe what they found under their floorboards' only to find that you've clicked next 40 times, still have no idea what they found under the floorboards but have had the same generic information told to you in a dozen different ways already.
The same information is repeated again and again and again, often by the same speaker. The experts make claims that, as an expert witness myself, I can tell you would not hold water in a British court. They constantly tell us what the person was thinking, how they felt etc etc.
In multiple episodes they play footage from interviews, but the same clip appears in various contexts. The narrator says something to the effect of "The police pried for more information as to what had happened the night before" and a clip where the suspect states her husband tripped and fell over is played.
"The abuse was historic and they tried to understand an earlier incident when he'd fallen down the stairs" the same clip as above, except now its being framed as a historic incident. But only minutes before we were led to believe that it had actually occurred within 24 hours.
This is fairly constant throughout and as a result at the end of every episode you're still left with only 70% of a story and you try and fit things together as best you can..
Very poor given the budget available for these things. There are Youtube channels that do it better and have nowhere near the same amount of money to spend. Check out ThatChapter or Coffehouse Crime for better.
