Look, I know not everything can be The Jinx or Making A Murderer, but this really did feel like watching "content for content's sake".
Yes, it's horrific what happened to the victims, and I'm glad the families got to share their stories, but it's just not particularly compelling. It veers very close to just reciting a Wikipedia page (though the ratio of real footage vs. Stock footage in this one is a lot better than some other ID shows I've seen).
I finished the first episode and sort of felt like... it didn't really deliver on the title? Or maybe I shouldn't have gone in expecting "these are going to be crimes where they only didn't get away with it because they poorly got rid of the body". I felt like that was a fairly straightforward assumption though...
