Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Beetlescott I love this show! The actual detective narrates, and the actors so far are spot on!!!

Leonard sullivan THERE MAY BE TEENY TINY LITTLE BABY SPOILERS IN HERE BUT I really don't think so. Either way, carry on at your own Peril!!! 😈I'll keep this as short as possible. I enjoyed every episode of season one and found the show to be particularly unique Within Discovery ID's lexicon. Therefore when I found out that a second season had been released I was only that much more anticipatory.The atmosphere of the show is excellent: dark, brooding, and the addition of the detectives themselves lends its own "jena se qua" to the atmosphere. Having them drive the story with, not only their insider info, but their emotional involvement as well. Really lends an authentic and true-to-heart aspect to the storytelling that "Discovery-ID" tends to miss the ball on. The show is not all runnin' and gunnin', chasing the perp down for satisfying endings. We've seen that, OK, let's do something different and here it is!Right off the bat you can tell this show is different. You can see, very clearly, that the detectives involved have been deeply emotionally and physically impacted by their respective cases. The stories are difficult for them to tell and therefore, make for a truly Visceral viewing experience. It is cold, worrisome, and expressively melancholic. However, they have managed to do that in the most sincere and eloquent of ways, so that none of the gloom feels forced in any way. It is natural, and it is authentic, and it is human life as it relates to human loss on the grandest of scales. That being the family, of course.I HIGHLY recommend this show, there are things to be gained from such viewing, it is worthwhile television at its best. S02E01 IS AN episode that absolutely had my jaw on the floor, if all TV and storytelling were that good I would never get anything done! Thanks to the cast of "REAL DETECTIVE" for doing what you do because this guy HIGHLY appreciates it!Sincerely,Leonard SullivanP.s. Season 2 was EVEN BETTER than the previous, so kudos to you!

singlepeaceflow While watching the show, it can be quite entertaining. Blending actual descriptions by the investigating detectives with acted out footage of the events sounds like a great recipe for an amazing show. I thoroughly enjoyed the show until I started actually reading up on the cases involved and was quite disappointed for a number of reasons, but let's skip to the main one.The facts from the investigations and the arrests themselves do not match what is portrayed in the documentary. Sometimes this is through omission, watch nearly any episode then look up the case (especially the finale ep1-08), and you will find tons of details ignores or almost falsified through their depiction. At least it doesn't come from the homicide detective mouth, almost always from what they decide to depict in the acted out footage. I'd love to hear what the detectives that poured their heart out into this thing have to hear from the final cut, but I have a feeling it is isn't great. That being said, just watch it and don't do research and it is a top 90% pseudo crime documentary show.

fjmsoftware Good production value, I also liked that they got some solid and recognizable actors on board, but overall I couldn't stand the depressing tone of it for too long. Watched the first episode to the end because of the intriguing case, watched the second one because I recognized Tahmoh Penikett from a number of sci-fi shows, then skipped to #7 to see Zoie Palmer and that was enough for me.It's good that they tried to keep you aware throughout that these were real stories from real detectives, by having them narrated by the detectives themselves, but they went too far when they decided to visually flash back and forth between the detective and the dramatization. That fragmented the experience and made it much harder to absorb. They should've shown the detective maybe at the beginning and at the end, but not so many times throughout the story. And then the scripts could've been much better - they're too simplistic, like someone was trying to make drama out of a list of facts from a police report, it just left a lot to be desired.It's impressive for what it is, I've never seen reenactments or docu-dramas made quite this well before, but the constantly ominous and depressing tone just wasn't something I could put up with for 8 full episodes.
