TLDR
It's an unfortunate tour around Manhattan by way of gruesome murder.
What it's about
This is a true crime docuseries covering harrowing murder cases from the perspective of crime scene workers in Manhattan, New York.
The take
The series offers a rather refreshing take on true crime coverage, putting the spotlight on the callous unsung heroes: the detectives and crime scene workers. It is still true crime, which means everything in it is still an uncomfortable story to learn about. But a bigger part of the series offers a cold, emotionally distant retelling of events by the unenviable professionals—a look at how detectives solve these puzzles, why they use certain interrogation tactics, and more. While learning about these cases with a lesser focus on the casualties feels wrong (and more like a baptism of fire in the crime-solving world), the series does a good enough job humanizing the work force, the other victims in this perpetually traumatizing industry.
What stands out
Using "he was just a guy" to describe one of the victims isn't just cold—it's Homicide: New York cold.
