I just caught part of the show you had on Darlie Routier stabbing her sons as if you really proved she was that monster and you reported the was not happy being a mother. That has never been said by anyone but men who were so zealous about convicting her. There were many more who witnessed that woman being a good and loving mother to those children. There are still unanswered questions that should be answered before executing a woman who for more than 20 years has not changed her story. She was nearly murdered herself, no referencing the near fatal slash in her neck and bruises all over her body, those have not been seen by most of the public. There were witnessed who saw suspicious individuals in her neighborhood and no account for the bloody sock in the alley with the children's blood on it that would have been impossible for her to have placed there. The crime scene was tromped on my greenhorn officers which destroyed evidence. And they were very quick to blame her because Rockwall Texas is just that, Rockwall, Texas. This was horrific video and a misrepresentation of the facts in the case. I lived in Dallas, Texas for over 30 years and the fact they are tough on crime was one of the factors that made me settle there but this is one case that never sat well for me. I'm afraid they got this one wrong and they have done that before and executed the innocent. I wouldn't want it on my heart and soul, putting the needle in the arm of an innocent individual. I'm afraid there are some who have their heels dug in too deep to lose face and admit they may be wrong about this one.
I love this show been watching it for years now only complaint I would have is Candance delong bias treatment and statements she makes about ppl of color other then that I love the show.
Okay, okay, here is my disclaimer: I am a hardcore true crime junkie. I believe that even someone who is not as "into" true crime as I am will enjoy this show. Each episode is a triptych of women murderers with a certain theme (sometimes a little tenuous). I never realized that there were so many women killers. The series covers murderers from all the way back to the 1700s up to the present. One thing that I wish would be done differently would be to include non-Western murders, but this could be because it is hard to get medical records, coroner reports, eyewitness accounts, interviews, etc... The show is as thorough as it can be. Truly one of my very favorite shows.
The format is great. Each episode includes three dramatisations all on a theme for that episode. Love the dramatisations and the expert opinions. A brilliant binge watch. I worry it could be viewed as a "how to guide".
I understand why they don't show actual photos of living perpetrators, but in many cases it would be possible. Tributes / shots of victims would be good (see BBC's 'Murder in my Family' sketch or photo with the dates of when they lived is quite poignant at the end of the program)
I read in some other reviews that this filmed in Australia - which confirmed a suspicion. Renowned British killers with an Australian accent is a bit odd. .... but we've all seen (or rather heard) our accents being "murdered" by actors from other countries - I guess it's down to budget (British Hugh Laurie in House - from what I've read Americans didn't believe it that he's English - I believe he's rather well paid for it).
Husband's a bit worried ..... I'll keep watching
