The tone of this show is completely disgusting. The show comes complete with a "Desperate Housewives"-style of voice over, which might fool you into thinking that it is an entertaining program along the same lines as that one. It comes complete with sweeping panoramas of suburban life and suggestions of intrigue in small communities where it is unthinkable that bad things could happen.

But don't be fooled: the murders documented on this show are all real. The tone the show adopts struck me as totally perverse. Making television entertainment out of bad crimes like murders is a very delicate balancing act, and this show just doesn't pull it off at all. If they toned down the Desperate Housewives emulation, it might be alright. I wonder how the families of the victims feel about their loved ones' stories getting turned into turgid stuff like this.

The crime genre features criminal activities, investigations, law enforcement, crimes, and the pursuit of justice. Crime stories often revolve around the planning, execution, and consequences of criminal acts, as well as the efforts to solve and prevent such acts. They explore various aspects of criminal behavior, motives, and the moral dilemmas faced by both perpetrators and those seeking to uphold the law.
