I love how they tell the stories and take you back in time. Instead of these people just being victims from a murder, it humanizes them and they become more than just some story we heard. They were just like us, they had families and friends and their life was taken too soon, which makes this even more real. I hope there's many more shows coming cause I'm hooked!

Love to see another Season. Love how they show not only the well known crimes that made headlines during the time but also the little and less remembered cases. Hope they do more.
