Review of Cruise Ship Killers

I'm a frequent listener/watcher of true crime shows.

The good: This show has interesting cases.

Acting seems good.

Narration and voice are good.

Background images are good enough.

Background music is good.

The not-so-good:

• It's obvious while listening to the interviews that there's a lot that's said and so there seems to be a lot of information available about these cases. It seems like editing has been done in a hurry without knowing the full story or knowing which parts are key. So sometimes an event is referred to in the show that the viewer is supposed to know about, but it was never mentioned. The story doesn't have a good flow at all. This happens more in season 1, but season 2 has its fair share too.

• Rather than focusing on key events, too much of it is repeated. I do understand that many of these shows are made for tv and after every break there's a short re-cap, but this show goes on for so long that it makes me wonder if I've rewinded by mistake.

• Names, and even places have been altered. Some of these events have indeed transpired, but not necessarily with the given details and maybe not even on a cruise.

• Not sure if all the experts interviewed in the series are real or merely actors.

• Title is definitely wrong: Many of the presented cases are unsolved with no proof that there was even foul play. So this title is implying that the main person of interest is a killer and just not charged. It doesn't seem professional and looks like an attention-grabbing title.

So, if there's no better true crime show out there and you want to watch something, sure, give it a chance, but don't expect a lot and take the info with a grain of salt.
