Anyone Watch "The Fist 48"?
On A&E channel. If you like sleuth, you'll love this show.
Real life, no script, no actors. Truly dedicated investigators with a keen sense of justice. Very interesting. I record them all and have been a fan for several years. . "For homicide detectives, the clock starts ticking the moment they are called. Their chance of solving a murder is cut in half if they don't get a lead within the first 48 hours." . ~~~~~~~ . The First 48 is an American documentary television series on A&E. Filmed in various cities in the United States, the series offers an insider's look at the real-life world of homicide investigators. While the series often follows the investigations to their end, it usually focuses on their first 48 hours, hence the title. Each episode picks one or more homicides in different cities, covering each alternately, showing how detectives use forensic evidence, witness interviews and other advanced detective skills to identify suspects. While most cases are solved within the first 48 hours, some go on days, weeks, months, or even years after the first 48. The series was nominated for a Distinguished Documentary Achievement Award in the Continuing Series category by the International Documentary Association, eventually losing out to American Experience. By season 6, The First 48 had become the highest rated non-fiction justice series on television, and had gained critical acclaim along with controversy. The season 8 premiere, "Gone", which aired on January 1, 2009, garnered a domestic audience of 2.3 million viewers which made it the series' most watched episode, at the time. . https://www.facebook.com/thefirst48/

it's a good documentary, serial production. i watch it frequently. gotta admire those who devote their lives to this pursuit.
almost all of the homicides are black on black. that's a lot of what's sad. multi-generational dysfunction.

I like the show. It is real. Every time I watch it I think of the line that Ron White says I had the right to remain silent but didn't have the ability.

I watch it, I sort of like it.
I agree it's also kind of amazing and sad when he narrator says: "Lakwon Jackson was 19 years old and lived in the little Haiti neighborhood of Miami. He was a high school graduate and the father of 6 children." Or some similar "wow WTF" story.
