Uncompromising, hard hitting, raw, honest, heartbreaking, gripping and profound. What the police in the US have to deal with is absolutely incredible. They have such bad press, particularly recently, but the body cam footage in this show demonstrates they do an unbelievable job. These cases are particularly upsetting and tragic and the Police show true heroism in their determination to bring the killer(s) to justice. The editing of this show is also outstanding. The cases are woven together like a masterpiece tapestry by the footage from the cops, actual 911 recordings, interviews with victims families and the lead detectives and sometimes CCTV footage. The effect is an enormous appreciation for the job homicide detectives do and the devastating and permanent damage done to the victims' families. It is a valuable and sobering record of the human condition - how quickly and easily circumstances, chance encounters, dark motives, snd so on, can spiral into chaos and end in a tragic murder. The police are the ones that need to put the pieces together and undertake the daunting task of solving these cases.
