Among true crime enthusiasts, there is always some debate about which type of series is best.
Some prefer programs that revisit solved cases and show how they were solved in new or more in-depth ways, like the Hulu miniseries Under the Bridge.
Others like to watch shows that examine injustices relating to wrongful convictions or unsolved crimes. One such show is SundanceTV's True Crime Story: It Couldn't Happen Here.
Many true crime enthusiasts are interested in the genre because they want to try solving cases themselves. The unsolved is often more appealing than the solved.
True Crime Story: It Couldn't Happen Here scratches that particular itch for armchair detectives in several ways.
The Premise
The series focuses on the many crimes committed in small-town America and the difficulties associated with solving them.
The purpose is to highlight small-town cases that have slipped through the judicial cracks.

Hilarie Burton Morgan (The Walking Dead) returns to host season two of SundanceTV, AMC+ and Sundance Now’s True Crime Story: It Couldn’t Happen Here. The six-episode second season premieres on April 18, 2024 with an episode that explores the murder of a teenage girl in Benton, Missouri.
Additional season two episodes of the documentary series air on Wednesdays at 10pm Et/Pt.
“Fighting injustice in our country is a long and arduous process, and unfortunately, the resources to do so are oftentimes out of reach for our most vulnerable communities,” said Burton Morgan. “As we head into this new season of It Couldn’t Happen Here, we are seeing growing momentum in the progress of our past cases – forensic testing, new hearings, wrongful imprisonment compensation, new witnesses coming forward – and it only solidifies our team’s desire to tell these stories with empathy and urgency.”

Fewer superheroes, some singing and a bit more weirdness are just some of the things the Guardian's film critics are hoping to see on the big screen in the next 12 months
Peter Bradshaw: Naturalistic TV type acting, old-fashioned musicals and funnier superheroes
With the conclusion of Breaking Bad in 2013, we saw a revival of the "boxset-tv-is-better-than-the-movies" issue, promoted by pundits who are of an age when leaving the house to go to the cinema is becoming a trial. Undoubtedly, boxset TV offers huge opportunities for an actor to develop a role over hours of screen time – more difficult in the movies, although Bruce Dern and June Squibb in Alexander Payne's excellent Nebraska showed us that the old-fashioned pleasures of the actorly performance were not dead. I should love to see some more of this tasty, organically grown, line-fished naturalistic movie acting in 2014.
