    Spoilers only at the very bottom.I've never written a review before. And usually I'd never even consider writing a bad review (if you don't like something, keep it to yourself). However, I found this show deeply confusing and misrepresenting the truth. For example when someone says they've known the victim for over 20 years, and they're portrayed by an actor who's barely 20, you'd expect them to be childhood friends. Not in this case! The victim (Tim Wicks) was in actuality 48 (and not barely 20). In many episodes the actors who portray the people surrounding the tragedies are nowhere near the age of the person when the events took place. I know that it's impossible to find actors who are the spitting image and age of the actual people. But in this show they are extremely far off. People who are obese are portrayed by skinny actors with model like beauty. Everyone is gorgeous and not with a hair out of place. They don't even get the general body type right. Nor the hair colour. And in one instance not even the ethnicity (difference between a biracial boy and a blonde caucasian boy; Jayden Underwood). Please try "Googling" some of the people and you can see how far off they are for yourselves.I usually binge crime shows and love them. This one really missed the mark for me. Also, every single episode is concerning a case that has been covered by several shows before (and with better results). If you're going to do something, someone has done before you, do a better job or not at all. Spoilers:In pretty much every episode the husband did it. I know that very often it is the spouse, but surely they could find interesting cases that haven't been covered (or at least not in the magnitude these have) where someone other than the proverbial "husband did it".
