See No Evil

I have only watched season 2 on Netflix and I love the stories chosen. They explain everything really well and use family and friends to talk about the victim.

However the downsides are that they play the footage over and over which is a bit excessive and the dialogue is very repetitive. The amount of time spent on telling us how great footage is and constantly referring to the security cameras is over the top. I found myself after a couple of episodes getting frustrated because they seem to state the obvious and repeat the same lines.

Having seen some of the latest episodes, ive come to the conclusion that this is some of the best real crime documentary ive ever seen. its merely the connection to the victim you get through videosurveillance, and interwievs with the family and friends of the victims that really moves the gutter and overrims the tear cup of grief. also the way that police comments and tells their story, along with suspects interviews in or outside the interrogation room are extreme to watch.

to all that are left behind,losin a son, brother sister mum daughter,husband etc, remember we''ll grieve with you all for ever.

This show does an amazing job at getting the actors to look like the people depicted in the show. The locations look authentic and so does the acting. It is also done in such a way to where it is not distasteful or disrespectful to the real victims. It keeps you guessing till the end who the killer is. It digs deep into the story line and provides proper background so viewers are able to follow easily while still being entertained. If you're a fan of real mysteries and re-enactments then this show is perfect for you. So sit back and enjoy the amazing hard work and show your respect to those who were lost in these episodes.

Some of the lower scored reviews confuse me. Quite a few of them talk about the background music/sounds being very annoying. I just watched a few episodes not even 2 hours ago and I cannot remember hearing background music. LOL.

Another peeve of some reviewers is the bad acting. I have yet to find a true crime show with good acting. LOL A lot of repeating scenes....yeah...definitely. But for me it's not nearly annoying enough for me to stop watching.

Everything considered this is still probably my top choice for true crime shows. 👍

The one reason I like this show so much is the actual REAL footage shown. It absolutely FACINATES me (and is soooo creepy!!) to see real footage. I don't remember exactly when I found this show, but from what I remember this is one of the first shows I had seen that included real footage. I was hooked and was so upset when I ran out of episodes. I am SOOOOO glad that new episodes are airing.

The subject matter is excellent. People will always be interested in criminal cases, so no complaints there. The victim and their family are treated with respect, but there are flaws:

1. Laborious storytelling with far too much repetition 2. Annoying sound effects and background music 3. Hiding key parts of the footage to play gotcha with the audience

The third point bugged me the most and happened in the first episode. They showed security footage of a crime. It lasted about 60 seconds but no crime was apparent. Then they decided to show it again, while detectives told us how easy it is to overlook something. On the second viewing, they pointed out an important detail that everyone missed the first time. But this is the annoying part: They edited out the key part of the footage from what they initially showed us, so none of us had a chance to catch the key moment either.
