The older ones were better - where they focused on the killer. "Born in 1968, Mary grew up on a farm..." and we find out about what lead her to where she is.
Now they focus on the victim. We get a good 5-7 minutes of the victim's life, stuff that has ZERO to do with the story. No one cares.
They've essentially run out of good stories and now are doing cases that the cops clearly knew who the killer was within a few hours but they have to drag this out to an hour so you get tons and tons of filler.
I mean honestly, Snapped should have always been a half hour to begin with. There was ONE season they did do half hour episodes and those were the best. But even the hour ones with the terrible robotic sounding host (that lady has no business doing voice over) were better than what they're putting out today.
The older ones used to always have the "psychologist" to let us dumb people know that "she was filled with rage when she shot him 16 times." They stopped doing that, so that's good. They've also apparently stopped having "guests" speaking who have nothing to do with the case, like the "bartender" who worked at the bar where she sometimes went in and the bartender is filling us in on the story that he has nothing to do with - the producers have given him a script. It's annoying.
Still the stories they're doing these days are relatively boring and even more boring with the long drawn out slow motion recreations.
I still say if they went back to a half hour and just do the meat of the story and stop with all the filler, this could be a great show. STOP with the 2 minutes of "coming up" baloney that everyone fast forwards through. Stop with all the pointless filler that doesn't add to the story. We don't need to know about the victim's hobbies or his previous three wives. But naw, they won't do this. They need to fill out an 44 minutes or programming so it's always going to be drawn out.
This show won't be around much longer.
