Lies, Crimes & Video, HLN

Excellent program but I'm not able to stand the loud and obnoxious background music. I understand the purpose to make it very dramatic but the music is louder than the voice of people telling the story.

I've deleted it from my line up due to the overwhelming LOUDNESS of the non stop, obnoxious 'music'. I wear headphones to watch tv at night and this awful music drowns out dialogue to the point of hurting my ears thru the headphones. The last episode I watched while my eardrums were being punctured by the LOUD LOUD LOUD 'music' was the last episode I watched. Removed it from my line up. If enough of us do it, maybe they'll get the hint? They won't HEAR it, but maybe they'll somehow get it???

I love the idea of this show. I enjoy watching, however, I find it very hard to hear over the loudest background music I've ever heard in a tv show. Is there no way to tone it down so we can HEAR what is being said? Such a shame. Great content. However, horrible editing.

Most true crime follows the Forensic Files pacing and moves rather slowly, which works well if you keep up the flow of information; this show, despite having cinematic quality of re-enactments, repeats itself (literally) up to nine times on any data point. That makes any story start moving slowly to the point where the episode bogs down two thirds of the way through, then skips over vital details to get to a conclusion. These producers know a good story to pick but do a terrible job of planning out each episode, resulting in something even more boring than the news that is also even more dramatic. If you let me edit one of these episodes, it would probably be closer to Forensic Files twenty-one minutes (apparently, a half hour of TV minus commercials, PSAs, and station identification) and have much more punch because they really are beautifully filmed.

I have never written one of these. And I was so surprised to fine the review before me say exactly the same thing. THE BACKGROUND MUSIC IS TOO LOUD!!! Like the show but turn down the volume.
