I enjoyed the series. Hoping they have another season. This show really makes you question the Justice system though. It leaves you with a lot of questions.

Interesting stories and perspective

Pretty good show
jergo197618 October 2021
I watch all the true crime shows and this one stands out a little from the rest of the pack of shows that networks such as I. D. pumps out. Seems to focus more on interviews than details and fact, and of the 6 episodes I've seen, some don't have a black and white conclusion.
I usually hate this, but for some reason-I don't mind it on this show.
The host seems very compassionate when interviewing people...seems like she really cares.
Hope they continue to make more episodes!

Different way to tell a story

Hilarie Burton Morgan is just fine as the host
deepkut21 March 2024
It seems to me a lot of those who have such a strong negative opinion / problem with Ms Morgan as the host should be looking more deeply into themselves as to why. These overly critical reviews are reminiscent of those I've seen for another great host of another true crime show, Paula Zahn. They are both very attractive white ladies. So yeah, what are we really angry about here ? And I get it, to each their own but gimme a break !!
This show IS different and important in that it focuses on getting justice for the victims when justice is nonexistent. Imagine spending 23 years behind bars for a crime you did not commit and because this show challenged that verdict, it's either overturned or dropped and you are rightfully set free.
I, too, am an avid true crime junkie and know most of these docs / shows have a definitive ending with the case usually having been solved CORRECTLY. This show should actually be called something along the lines of WRONGFULLY ACCUSED or QUESTIONABLE VERDICT or something to that effect but whatever.
We'll be needing more of this. Oh yeah, and don't change the host. Please and thank you.
Sorry UPDATE : Ok so I just saw Episode 6 which does not involve anyone who was wrongfully convicted so apparently they're not all like that. My bad !

Great story telling
rqzxrdj24 October 2023
Keep these episodes coming. Hilarie does a great job at this. She may have producers but you can feel her genuine care when talking about these stories. She is refreshing. There are lots of crime documentaries out there to compete with. She really cares about getting the whole story out there. It has been a long time since I have seen such good factual storytelling. I hope they do updates on some of these stories. I hope Christians family finds peace. I hope they all do actually. Hilarie be proud of this work, it's fantastic. I look forward to more episodes I binge watched like 12 episodes in one night.
Could be good
michel123415 October 2021
Could be good, but needs a diff host. You obviously see how she doesnt truly care. This one i find so dissociative and seems sociopathic. The stories are very good though but again the hosts sits in the way and is distracted, her focus is off cuz of her narcisism that comes along with it. Im sorry for this bad review, but its the truth. We want honest hosts, not these types of ppl. She also says things like we are gonna hang out here and here today, i mean how can you say that about the family member of a murder victim. So sad.
Hilarie Burton needs to learn that the show is not about Hilarie Burton
apowell-580374 July 2023
The show had potential to be fairly interesting. However, the host inserts herself in every way possible, and has little to add by way of informed commentary. Her reactions to interviewees seem stilted and insincere. When she interviews an expert, more focus is paid to showing her boots or her hair than to the actual statements and facial expressions of the experts themselves.
As other reviewers have stated, the stories seem to be very one-sided. There is little shrift paid to victims and their families. And the opposing viewpoints are never aired.
Additionally, none of the stories seem to have a resolution. Everything is left up in the air. As though the point of this was to just travel around small towns, rake up trouble about the past, and then leave everything the way she found it. Definitely would give this one a pass. So much more available that is better done.

Too much religious BS
doncbarefoot26 November 2021
Could be good if you got rid of the crazy religious people that every episode focuses on. She got a vision from God. Really so why did you god let them die. Crickets. Pure trash. The detective saying, these are people who support the police. Excuse me what does have to do with anything.
Not worthy of True Crime show Status... Please,,,, DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME on this one
tazman556224 March 2022
This show usually depicts family, friends, bloggers and defense attorneys in support of the convicted. They generally have 1 maybe 2 people on the side of the prosecution. NEVER talking to the victims or prosecutor and refers to mostly exculpatory or speculative evidence,
Evidence presented on this show is mostly shown as hearsay, lying witnesses, bad evidence and bad police practices.
Hilarie Burton is definitely unrealistic and unconvincing while hosting this show. Her constant elbow on the table while holding her hand to her face seems totally insincere and invented. She never interviews victims of the crimes or speaks to people with opposing views. She only shows a cursory glance at the victims.,
This show reveals why some "podcast type" programs have gone too far or not far enough.
I have literally watched 100's and 100's of crime shows, but this is one of the worst. Do not look for any mercy here,

Horrible host, one sided views
hellokitty155512 May 2023
If you have an interest in true crime stories skip this and watch something else.
The host is a D class actress that I had never heard of but Googled and saw she was in a teen drama many years ago and now calls herself an activist. (What many irrelevant actresses do these days). She's very unlikeable and doesn't come across as sincere. She's just there for the paycheck. Curious, I found her Twitter and it's pretty much the usual Hollywood crazy rants which isolates many people who don't agree with her. She just spews hate and attacks people, but doesn't do anything to make the world a better place. If you don't agree with her you are "evil" and she will block you. I'll never understand how she was given the job to host. It's never a good idea when your host hates half the population.
The stories are pretty much one sided, always the defendants side but very little, if anything, from the victims friends or family.
Some of the same stories are told on other true crime series which present a more fair and well rounded coverage of the case which includes both sides. There is no agenda like Miss Burton presents.
I don't know how this show lasted so long. She must have a family member or a friend at this network.

Hilarie Burton is SO ANNOYING
kevinstetsonnc11 June 2022
She is awful and so phony. She wouldn't set foot in a small Georgia town other than to audition for something bigger and better than this show. How many times must we be shown her boots, you know, the genuine ones real people wear because she's so real. Gag.
