It's everything a tacky murder show should be. Paula dominates every interview by asking really long, yes or no questions and never letting anyone get a word in. She's still amazing, though and has worked hard to be where she is now and and no one will outclass her. Diane Dimond? Hard pass, since I have 8000 episodes of this show with Paula! Drinking game: take a shot every time an old, white cop says something like "well, this girl didn't deserve to be horrifically murdered, she went to church!" I see, Officer, so am I to infer there are people who deserve it. Almost every sentence uttered by these detectives could be construed as "this is a safe, white community! These crimes belong in the city where all the non-whites prefer to hang out!" This sounds like I'm hating on the show and I'm really not. Virtually all ID shows fall victim to the same cliches: "she lit up a room," "we never locked our doors," "this overkill seems personal." And since the show has been on for 100 season, there's plenty of content if hearing about horrible murder helps put you to sleep, like it does for me.
