This entry in the franchise takes a second look at some of the most mysterious cases of recent history. It explores the stories through firsthand accounts told by people who are close to the crime, including investigators who dedicated their time to the cases and family members who are still trying to confront the tragedies that befell their loved ones.

What people are saying
Updated nightlyPeople are pretty split on this true crime re-examination series, with most feeling it's just okay or frustrating. The cases themselves, like Brad McGarry's murder or the Murdaugh saga, are compelling, but a lot of viewers find the storytelling flat and the pacing drags, making it feel like a rerun with little new insight. It's a decent enough watch if you're deeply into the genre, but it often fails to deliver the fresh perspective it promises.
