The first 5 seasons of this show are very good and highly recommended if you like true crime documentaries.
It is well written and researched and the stories presented are done so in great detail for the majority of the cases. The narration is also very good and adds that extra edge of suspense especially when dealing with the various subject matter.
Now, I'm not sure who of the higher ups at Sky or A&E (the 2 broadcasters who brought about this show) thought that messing with the writing and presentation format was a good idea, but it completely killed the show. And thinking that Dermot Murnaghan was the best person to host was also an extremely misguided decision.
I believe the saying goes "if it isn't broken then why fix it?".
Don't bother with this show after season 5 as that's time you'll never get back in your life, the writing is terrible, as is the narration and presentation of the stories.
