I literally want to end my life listening to all these so called experts on this show. They are aweful. And why do you need 4 or 5 of them. It takes away from the story. It's horrible. They talk like they are dumb not any expert. The forensic lady sounds like she's gasping for air after each word. It jumps from one person to the next, give one sentence. It's horrible. Please change all these people on the show and get better co host that sound smart. You only need 2 not 5. The cases are quite interesting. I've not heard alot of these. But it bounces around from one so called expert to the next and they don't sound like they are an expert in anything. This must be a Canadian show. Just by some accents but it's poorly set up.

Psychic Detective? Wrong answer!!!
mtconectm19 November 2023
So far so good. Just stop with the psychic garbage. We're in the 21st Century FFS. We don't live in the bronze age any more. Psychic's have been proven to be false. Time and time again.
Please...I've heard the term psychic detective in two videos so far. And I'm only on the fourth show.
There is no such thing. No psychic has solved a crime - ever. I will give it one more video and that's it. I will not watch a show that's based on so called psychics. This field has been debunked so many times. Stop with the fake BS.
The stories are good. Nice to see some different stories. So many unsolved cases out there that keep getting repeated by different production companies.

Interesting stories..unnecessary expert fillers
Lijoh119 February 2024
Good stories.. true crime lovers may not be familiar with some of them which helps because I feel like I've seen them all at this point. However, the seemingly Canadian "experts" and journalists are completely unnecessary and off putting. There's a narrator, no need for 5 other people to narrate. One young female expert has so much pep in her voice as she talks about murder. The worst is the forensic expert. Her breathy voice is cringy and distracting. I hope she's okay. She sounds like someone is forcing her to read from a script after punching her in the chest. I'll continue to watch only because I'm interested in the stories.
Good Storyline but Expert Sinks It
jeffkresse-814-34596924 December 2023
So-called expert Christine Hannah ruins the show. If she is an "expert" you can add being a boring expert at reading on camera, never looking at it, and even misarticulating a few words here and there. The producers of this series had a good concept but i don't know why they didn't pull this commentator. A crash test dummy has more personality and character after it impacts the test wall than this person. I thing single-handedly she tanked the show and there are no more seasons.
Also, after returning from every commercial break, they recap events for two to three minutes, which just fills time needlessly and makes it even more ploddingly boring.

Terrible female commentators
jennifer-2214313 May 2023
Overall the show is good but is ruined in my opinion by the way the female "experts" talk the so called defense lawyer talks like a middle schooler reading a book report everytime she opens her mouth and the medical lady talks like her windpipe has been crushed and she's perpetually out of breath. The stories are good and interesting but are ruined whenever these 2 appear on screen, I have to mute it thus missing parts of the show and not being able to enjoy it the way I should. Seriously they ruin an otherwise good show. All they have to do is get rid of those two and replace them with normal sounding "experts" and it would be a good, interesting show.
That VOICE!
jayceepup18 August 2023
Christine Hannah's voice and halting way of speaking make the show nearly unwatchable. It's virtually impossible to take her seriously when she sounds like she's reading aloud, trying desperately to follow along in her textbook. The show would be so much better with another expert who can handle "public" speaking. The other commentators seem to have had much more training in this area and speak with much more confidence. Did anyone HEAR her talk before they filmed? Did they do any test shoots? Honestly, they could just edit out her portions with no stand in or substitution, and it would be just as easy to follow.
Subtitles for Christine Hannah??
user-149-85837412 January 2024
It's a great show, but perhaps subtitles for Christine Hannah might make her lines more understandable. She speaks as though she doesn't have enough air to finish her words or sentences. This makes it difficult to understand her. This is not a criticism of her, but perhaps she needs help to allow the viewers to get what she's trying to communicate. I often have to rewind to find out what she is saying.
Otherwise, the show is intriguing, well-delivered, thoughtful (especially to the families of the victims), and.pertinent to this day and age. There are lessons in this series for everyone. It is not a sensational series, yet it is informative.

Good Concept, Bad Execution
twin-chaos30 December 2023
The concept of this series is good and the cases are definitely interesting, however the "experts" are completely unnecessary.
The concept of focusing on lesser known older cold cases that are finally solved is great. I've watched several episodes about cases I had never seen before or knew anything about.
What doesn't work are the plethora of " experts" giving a synopsis every episode. These "experts" are unnecessary when there is also a narrator. The worst offender is the forensic expert, Christine Hannah, who talks with a breathy affect as if someone punched her in the throat. I literally want to gauge my ears out every time she's on screen. The other "experts" seem to recite commentary as middle schoolers giving an oral book report, they're a bit to excited about murder.
Hopefully there will be more seasons, just without these unnecessary cast members that ruin the serious nature of the show.

Christine Hannah, where did you dig here up?
mbsgurl2 March 2024
I love the true crime stories & have watched 100's. I stumbled upon Almost Unsolved on the True Crime Network. I even set it up to record all episodes. That's where I had the displeasure of listening to Christine H. Totally worthless and That Voice! HORRIBLE. Please get her a cosmetic Make over & elocution lessons. All the commentators need to be REPLACED!!! They are stiff, boring, lack any form of engagement and nearly RUIN the show. SEND them HELP!!!! The cases are interesting and make you want to know the details and how they get to the end with the mystery solved. I think it's fascinating how police techniques have evolved over the years and now cold cases could possibly be solved.
Ruined by Christine Hannah's Terrible Speech
bubbalooloo21 April 2024
Almost Unsolved is Almost Unwatchable thanks to the absurd appointment of Christine Hannah as one of the talking head experts. Her breathy narration makes for an uncomfortable viewer experience. It's like she cannot manage a simple breathing technique whilst speaking. I can't fathom it out. If she has a 'condition' then I'm sorry to sound unkind but it is painful and awkward to watch and does not make for easy engagement. How was this not picked up in the early stages even before filming? Some great cases, even though many were recapped ad nauseum after every break. What a shame to ruin such a good premise with so many engaging professionals.
The two Commentators make it impossible to watch
buyer-4898717 April 2024
Who in their right mind hired these two??
One reminds me of the weepy voice killers voice, she just squeaks!
The other one takes forever to finish her sentences.
Its so distracting it's impossible to continue to watch
Some of the stories are interesting but I finally had to give up and move on.
In this day and age couldn't anyone view the edits and see how awful those two were.
The recaps are uncalled for and just drag things all All and all its a hard pass

Pretty good but ruined by "expert"
eklutz-887947 May 2024
The show is actually pretty good for a New true crime series. But it's PAINFUL to watch/listen to Christine Hannah. Please get a new expert to fill that spot if you create a new a season. Her contribution is dull, lifeless, and exhaustingly boring. The viewer is jolted out of the story and investigative procedure whenever her commentary comes in. Getting rid of her segments without a replacement would be better than having her in each episode. I hate to be so harsh but I have quit watching this show after about 1/2 of an episode each attempt (I tried watching 3 times) because it's so difficult to watch. And as a true crime junkie... there isn't much I wouldn't watch.
I was on the edge of my seat the whole time .
rodgordon1918 January 2024
Great content in this incredible story. Acting was good and the show had a nice flow to it that made me always wondering. What's next!
I believe the director did a great job and the focus on important parts not to lose my interest. I would have to say if there is a season two I will be watching it . Not your ordinary true crime show it's better. So I would say it's a 10 out of 10.
If I had to say anything else about the the victims in the storey were met with total respect because when your dealing with death it is always a sensitive subject.
Production looked professional, the reenactment was top notch.
