After seeing season 2 and 3, I wrote this: This show has some chilling cases that really get under your skin, but they do a great job of being respectful to the victims and their families. They also include survivor stories, which adds a dimension that you just don't get when it's a 'all-murder' show. Then I saw the first 2 episodes of season 4 and they really hit me hard. Too hard. Spoiler - both are about the violent rapes and murders of teenage girls. It felt like they were showing more violence. I sometimes draw while I watch so maybe I missed it before, but it was MESSED UP. Suddenly I'm second guessing whether I like True Crime at all anymore.

I watch everything True Crime, and I can't stand the shows where the narrator talks in an exaggeratedly dramatic, whispy voice. He is also super disrespectful and keeps referring to sex workers as hookers and prostitutes like it's 1999. I was recommended this show because I liked Your Worst Nightmare - which is 1000x better - and was hugely disappointed.
