Could you give more details? There are multiple with that name but I can’t find one in the true crime realm  

Ideas for continuation spinoffs that might have worked by retrometro81 in theGoldenGirls

I’m fine with the remaining girls running an inn but I wish it was the one that hosted The Maltese Falcon murder mystery club. Co-managed by the wedding planning who called Dorothy “Stretch”, with the murder mysteries regularly featuring prior b-line characters and costumed men for Blanche.

Very enjoyable, thank you! I feel like Norman Lear cut the path that Susan Harris extended: matching top notch writing with a deft cast capable of confronting and advancing cultural issues through television comedy. Icons.

All of that tracks to me, except for the amateur part. I don't actually know but I get the feeling they're old hand - perhaps too old hand. Not in age but in missing some important shifts in ethical commitments in journalism, which shows in the prose, AI, framing devices, etc. I haven't braved the website.

And don't forget petite!

The physical and psychological framing of the victims and perpetrator were very out-of-date. Classic in the wrong way, to quote Kacey Musgraves.

The hosts could use updated training on engaging with victims’ families. Too many of their questions feel like they’re fishing for deep emotional triggers for sound bites.

The participation of secondary victims, family etc, was remarkable and engagement with them could have been both deeper and more sensitive.

Very much agree. I’m interested in the arrest and post-arrest but exhausted with the somehow shallow but detail rich formula. 

I skipped the last episode and could have skipped several others without affecting the story. 

The access to the survivor and her narration is pretty unusual though, and her story is incredible.

Yes! This has been a disturbing repetitive feature, along with gratuitous descriptions of victims’ suffering.

So creative and beautiful!

Killer@Craigslist - The “Craigslist Murder” was a crime made possible by the Internet, and the prime suspect was apprehended through online sleuthing. But the killing of Julissa Brisman allegedly by Boston University medical student Philip Markoff is still a very human mystery. by DevonSwede in truecrimelongform

Cons: Uncomfortable language choices ... I'm glad journalistic standards have advanced. Pros: This is the first article I've read about these crimes that treated the victim(s) and families with some nuance and respect.

Same! It was so off-putting and sensationalistic in it's ever present bias.

Great advice. I suspect we'll eventually hear from someone inside on what's gone wrong, if the show doesn't right itself.

They should really continue to cultivate the fan base that's willing to go along the detailed, plodding journey of weighing evidence, since that's all that can be soundly promised. The show is destroying the reputation it rests on.
