Review of See No Evil

See No Evil (2014– )
8/10
Good show with annoying flaws
8 August 2020
The subject matter is excellent. People will always be interested in criminal cases, so no complaints there. The victim and their family are treated with respect, but there are flaws:

1. Laborious storytelling with far too much repetition 2. Annoying sound effects and background music 3. Hiding key parts of the footage to play gotcha with the audience

The third point bugged me the most and happened in the first episode. They showed security footage of a crime. It lasted about 60 seconds but no crime was apparent. Then they decided to show it again, while detectives told us how easy it is to overlook something. On the second viewing, they pointed out an important detail that everyone missed the first time. But this is the annoying part: They edited out the key part of the footage from what they initially showed us, so none of us had a chance to catch the key moment either.
