If there is ever a television show that will turn you off of marriage or having babies, THIS is IT! Practically every episode at some point makes no bones about when things turned for the worse for the people depicted, and without fail you can count on the point where the narrator states: "... but not long after getting married", or "but not long after having their second child....". 😁 Holy heck!

And talk about dumb criminals! Don't these huntin', tobacco chewin', billiehillies watch shows like, ummm ... Snapped ... in order to know what to do and what NOT to do? Lol!

Definitely entertaining and pretty binge-worthy, but guaranteed to leave you with a sour taste and shaking your head. Cain't we all jist git along?

For the 2018 season (possibly 2017), even though this show has been going since 2004, the producers (Sharon Martin?) decided to fix something that was NOT broken. Before each commercial break the new narrator says, "Coming Up," and a fraction of a second later begins revealing spoilers. Sometimes I'm caught off guard and can't hit the mute fast enough. Other times there are false alarms -- I think the "Coming Up" is coming due to a pause in the narration, but then the show continues. This is no way to enjoy a show. What do the producers think, that viewers can't wait the duration of a commercial break to see what happens next? That they have to have the "Coming Up" previews? I mean, is it like viewers hear "Coming Up" and think, "Oh Oh Oh, Gotta see what's coming up!" even though in three minutes they'll find out? How stupid do the producers/directors think viewers are? This "Coming Up" nonsense is on the verge of being a deal breaker for what was once a very good show. It is SOOO insulting to intelligence.

As for the previous review stating that this show contains content that's difficult for her friends to watch ... this show is actually quite mild compared to some of the stuff that's on the ID Channel. It can be predictable, but the "whodunnit" aspect is not supposed to be part of the show. We all know whodunnit. What's interesting is HOW the detectives figure it out. This show was a hit before the stupid "Coming Up" spoilers. Why fix what wasn't broken?

Snapped is a documentary program that tells us the true stories of women accused of murder. We learn a little about their lives prior to them meeting the murder victim, be it their husband, boyfriend, lover or the other woman. These women range from stay-at-home moms, grocery clerks, school teachers, law students, politicians to fashion designers; working class, upper class, wealthy. Social status doesn't matter.

We also learn about their lives with the victims and what drove them to murder. Their motives for murder are as varied as their social status. These women commit murder to collect on a large life insurance policy, to gain child custody, to get rid of an unfaithful or abusive husband or the suspect is an unfaithful wife choosing murder over divorce.

If you enjoy programs like Forensic Files, First 48 and Captured, you'd definitely enjoy Snapped.

'Snapped' is an intriguing half-hour series, currently on the Oxygen Network, that concerns female murderers. Narrated in a flat, just the facts ma'm female voice, the show takes the viewer through the crime in a prologue ("the question is, when he left, did he take a suitcase? Or was he in one?") After the credits, there's a brief biography of the killer, interaction with the victim, details of the crime, the trial, and the aftermath.

"Snapped" is very intriguing and a little like potato chips - Oxygen runs them one after the other, and after one show, you find yourself watching the next and the next.

For lovers of true crime, "Snapped" is a no-miss.

I am absolutely obsessed with this show. It is definitely not suggested for younger audiences or people who can't handle murder or other things like that but other than that it is an amazing show! I watch it every single day. I was actually channel surfing and saw it one day, it looked interesting, I watched it and fell in love with it. This show is absolutely amazing. Cartain people I know can't watch it, because of it content, and I feel bad for them since they are missing out on a lot. There are many different cases, but I have seen certain episodes multiple times, but not very many. If you give this show a chance you will probably fall in love with it.

What can I say after that?... You have to watch it.

At some point they expanded episodes to an hour and they didn't need to. I like this show, but the narrator is constantly repeating herself, summarizing, and reexplaining everything. It's one thing to do that after commercials, but to do it the entire hour is really irritating.

There are many good and interesting stories but the narration cheapens it. The narration sensationalizes the stories horribly. True documentarys should not be portrayed in this manner by creating a circus atmosphere, IMHO.

How can a greedy wife and her lover murder her husband for the life insurance money

I stopped liking it after the old narrator was replaced. Her sarcasm and wit made the show for me. Also they got rid of the good background music it was amazing, piano that drove the atmosphere, along with just a tiny bit of music that built up some dread. Also, the end credit music was changed. I can't just watch people talk and listen to that boring narrarator. The other one made me laugh! "And the prosecutor didn't think so EITHER!" I miss her and the old music!! Some of the newer stories are good so I guess I'll try to watch some before it leaves Peacock. I keep watching the older ones over and over.

Every single episode is based around a woman that kills, I'm not sure if that's intentional but it must be with so many seasons and episodes. Overall a decent watch.

Too long and predictable. Annoying Interviews and bad storytelling. Hard to watch.

These newer episodes are so hard to watch because of the boring narration and slow story flow. SNAPPED really underestimated the importance of a good narrator to make the storyline easy to follow and exciting to watch. It use to be so hard NOT to complete an episode because I needed to know how the case turned out. Snapped on Sundays use to be my favorite thing. Now it has become completely unbearable to get through an episode. Watching and listening to this new narrator is unbearable. Change the narrator and go back to the older format! There is an old saying "If it aint broke, don't fix it".

Women kill for the same reasons, greed, child custody, jealousy, revenge. My mom was always reading true detective magazines when I was young, so as I got older I would too. I'm 69 now. This is better! Women crazy, more so than men...😮. In this day and age we won't get away with anything and yet Snapped goes on and on, season after season. Get a divorce and move on, let your spouse see their children, better than losing two parents. But some will act on impulses and hate, it won't end well. Thank you Snapped for letting me realize men can be victims too, and many times we don't really know anyone, even when we meet at church.

Watching on prime - shows all seasons but seasons 1 - 6 won't play - season 7 cuts every show off just before the verdicts.

Season 8 though has been pretty solid, but literally will make you fear marriage from what I can tell.

Can no one just get divorced anymore?? Why they gotta be killing their partners off... Damn.

But overall so far I would recommend this show - sometimes the endings will just throw you for a loop, and will leave you scratching your head as to WHY???? Will also make you wonder about the legal system. I'm excited that there are so many seasons as well, It will keep me occupied for a good long while!

The show is interesting and fairly well put together. They do go over the same things many time so you only need to watch the second half and you will get all the info. The narrator is a horrible speaker. She stresses weird parts of sentences and adds unnecessary words at the end of a lot of sentences. One could say "he had a job". This narrator "he had a job too". " She had been charged with battery" or "she had been charged with battery too" she is staying a single fact, not giving a list. She uses literally often.

Whenever a person won't cooperate with the police this is explained by saying that neighborhood doesn't trust the police stressing that they are poor and criminals. The cops should also stress that they don't cooperate because of years and years of verbal and physical abuse inflicted upon the citizens.

Someone new needs to write what the narrator says. She is horrible too. Lmao.

I started watching Snapped in S26 cuz that's how it came up on Peacock. I enjoyed it to an extent. The stories are engaging but the retelling here is so drawn out and one-sided. The slow, repetitive narration is extremely trying, but S1-18 w/Martin narrating is unbearable - sarcastic, bullying, like a drunk trying to sound interesting at a book reading. Most the episodes are very one-sided, like being led to feel sorry for the mother who murdered a man in cold blood because she suspected he molested her daughter. A lot of commentary was how amazing she was to 'defend' her child. Well, try not leaving your child alone with a man you barely know while you go out for a drug run - that's what protection looks like. Another one was an arranged marriage where the new wife murders her husband and claims she was being obedient according to Indian law. The jury actually gave her a light sentence. For me, that episode (S14, E14) really underscores everything wrong with the way this series is done. It's a 45 min show yet 30 of those minutes are just rehashing the same words and phrases. They continue to say "but is it really what it seems, did Shriya kill her new husband or is there an explanation?" Finally, after much ado we get to hear the big explanation, which turns out to be that in India obeying your husband even if it means killing him is legal, apparently. This big explanation that she was so obedient she helped him kill himself is ludicrous because in the US it doesn't matter your reasoning. But furthermore, he CLEARLY did not kill himself or ask for her help to do so. She understood American law enough to ask for an attorney before speaking. That means she also understood it enough to set up her alibi by telling a taxi driver some bs story about wanting to go to the police but needing to obey her husband. A "shy" Indian woman would never confide such a thing to a stranger. I've studied Muslim culture and these women are not stupid. They aren't cows that fall off cliffs because you demand them to. She not only knew what she was doing but he was not involved, otherwise why kick down the door if you're waiting to die? This is the ultimate betrayal and yet this Snapped episode tries to steer the viewer to feel compassion for this "strange obedience" that we can't possibly understand. Bull. You can not come to America and then try to use your country's laws as an excuse for breaking our laws. And Shriya fully knew that.

Sorry but I just can't get through more than 10 minutes of the woman narrator's monotone no personality reading the script line by line by line by line. Jazz it up a little lady, do some improve. In fact everything seems to be repeated at least twice, which is also incredibly annoying considering most shows are very predictable about bi-polar pure evil, horrible women.

This show hates women. This show particularly hates women of colour. This show features an endless conveyor belt of people who hate women (particularly in law enforcement & the judicial system). This show perpetuates the myth that all genuine victims of domestic abuse speak out, & the belief that the ones that don't are lying. This show blames women who are victims of domestic abuse & do not leave their partners for everything they get. This show practically screams from the rooftop that if the "nice" guy from the bar/office/church hasn't beaten his partner in front of you then he doesn't do it at all.

The reason it's so shocking to the world when women kill is because we're so painfully unbothered by, & used to, men killing women.
