5.0 out of 5 stars The best series on TV!! August 30, 2007

By R. Wesley

I have seen every epsiode for 3 years running. The best series on TV. A and E need to be commended for presenting this look at Homicide investigations without making it too goulish or gory. Well done and I am totally addicted to this show!! It gives you a riveting look at murder investigations from the start to the finish including all clues , interviews with suspects and other cops and investigators and most of all it is all real!!

5.0 out of 5 stars the absolute best thing on TV April 9, 2008

By doppelganger

Without a doubt, this is the most fascinating look into homocide ever done on television. The detectives are master-interrogators, the keenest observers and just (awe)some in so many ways.

This show totally ruined CSI and a couple other "cop-shows" that I used to enjoy. No more drama, ever again. I will only watch the first 48 because it is so intense!
