You want them to catch the perps and you feel their frustration as well. Great for people who love crime dramas.
This show makes me anxious and annoyed at the same time, I hate it and can't stop watching.
Ughhh nothing ever gets solved, it's all conjecture. Very boring and over dramatized. Not my cup of tea at all.
They almost never catch the guy, which just makes it a disappointment
True crime.. you seen one you seen ‘em all.
Solid true crime show, showing the importance of the first 48 hours of an investigation. If only all police took each case seriously.
Standard copaganda except they often don’t catch anyone.
I like to watch or have on in the background occasionally but it can get very dull quickly.
I’m a true crime addict but this show is just not for me. It moves too slow I think.
I like the fast pace as they are under pressure to snag a break in the first 48 hours!
