Not finding this season's episodes very compelling


Is it just me? Or is anyone else less than thrilled with this season's episodes? I used to watch with bated breath as the stories unfolded, and there was usually some element of "WTF" surprise. Now? Not so much. The stories seem pretty predictable, even allowing for an ultimate monkey wrench (like when it turns out to be the woman's son who murdered her, and not some creep she "met" online), and just not very compelling. Anyone else?

No, they don't seem to be as good. Predictable is a good way to explain it

I agree with both of you! This was one of my favorite ID shows and this season is just....blah.

I wonder what happened! It used to be so engrossing, and now, well, it's just BLAH!

I hate to use a cliché, but great minds think alike!

Yes indeed. Too bad, too, because it was, in my opinion, an exceptionally good show before, but now? not so much.

I don't care for this season at all. Still watching, but not as interested

I was watching an older episode today, and honestly I think it's the narrator. The male was a lot better

ITA Nathan Wiley is really why I watched...so I was quite, unpleasantly, surprised to hear a different voice when I sat down to watch an episode today.

reply

I feel the same! Nathan was soo much better and kinda unsettling which went great with the show! When it's the woman I'm just like I can't stand her voice!

reply

I'm finding the same issue mainly because they changed the narrator. He was the glue to the series..

I am surprised no one has pointed out that maybe these stories aren't as eventful as the last because they aren't necessarily for entertainments sake, there is no "writer" to change the script of how it unfolded because these are peoples REAL LIVES, sorry they can't be more thrilling!
But I don't necessarily think you mean it that way, but I just kinda lol'd about how we are complaining that real life tragedies are not entertaining enough for us, But I am thinking you mean the way the producers and directors put together the subject. Every little element makes it the masterpiece it is ( or isnt) , like the acting, the right narrator, the locations, the background music, the right production, etc. But if you think about it, they don't want to start making up "possible scenarios of who done it?!" if its a straight forward plot of what happened you know? Then do we say well we dont want to hear about those stories because they are so blah? Not exciting enough? thats not fair these are peoples real lives. They desire to be told as well. I was thinking the way you were, like this season is borrrring! but then I realized, I didnt want them making up things that didnt happen, interjecting suspects that werent really suspects so the real peoples lives can be ruined by the shows portrayal of them just so it can make for a better show, to make it more interesting for us viewers because these peoples lives are devastated and Im sitting back with popcorn disappointed Investigation Discovery producers didn't "Select" the more twisted REAL stories for my viewing pleasure. Just putting in perspective.
