laurentdelvigne-446-586973 I like those slow paced documentaries. No flashy fast cuts like other shows.Each story takes its time to develop, great production designs in recreating the time period. Reenactments are not top-notch for some episodes but OK. I have seen worst in indie movies.Plus interviews of the people (law enforcement, witnesses,...).So worth watching.

ice-blonde-474-87320 I love this show!! Became so addicted to it as soon as I found it. Can't believe it hasn't got many reviews. The stories are great and true. Unheard of murders from history and the acting is quite good too. I love that it has some real people connected that are interviewed too. It's quite chilling. Great for a night watch. Episode that moved me the most was 'baby come home' so sad and thrilling right to the end. First episode of 1st series was OK but just keep watching them. Gets much better

Bafer Brökenstræng I can't tell you how many times I've strapped in for a nice bit of true crime & turned off after five minutes because the music sounded like a construction site over a Yamaha DX7, the editing was manic, the dramatizations were inaccurate & terribly produced and the narrator had a voice like Batman on Quaaludes. Add to that the number of shows featuring self-promoting presenters & semi-literate 'experts' and I walk away feeling like no-one knows how to make a decent crime doc series anymore. So, it's more than a little refreshing to have discovered 'A Crime to Remember', a show that avoids every element of crappiness that pervades today's 'real crime' programs. It's shot beautifully, the incidental 'noirish' music fits each historical crime, the narration is uniquely rendered as a story told by someone on the periphery of the story, the interviewees are relevant and best of all, the casting, acting & direction of the dramatizations are near flawless. Some of the actors' resemblance to the actual subjects is uncanny. This is easily the best TV crime doc series to come out of the US in a long time.

artellis-35-471689 I appeared on The Shot Doctor as the author of Zora Hurston and the Strange Case of Ruby McCollum and State of Florida vs. Ruby McCollum, Defendant (both available on Amazon), and was the only guest who knew all of the characters in the story. I was expecting that my decade-long work proving that Ruby McCollum's testimony at her trial made this a landmark case in the history of civil rights movement would be featured in this episode. Instead, the producers chose to edit out my comments, replacing them with the comments of two other narrators who never knew Adams or McCollum, and who perpetuated the falsehood that Ruby McCollum did not testify at her trial. This is not a "point of view," it is a travesty, a distortion of history, and a disservice to the viewers of this otherwise elegant and well-researched series. I have no idea why the story was stripped of the truth, unless it was in some misguided attempt to sensationalize the story.
