Your Worst Nightmare

...the last few have veered off of what made it enjoyable. It seems like they are all "the bad guy likes the victim and gets turned down so he comes back and kills her" or the "girl's significant other turns out to be a psycho". Let's get a little variety going, please.

And the absolute worst change (in my personal opinion) is the fact that they're now skewing the story so that any man in the victim's life "might" be the bad guy. Some random dude she saw at the gas station who ends up having nothing to do with the story, let's harp on that for ten minutes. The make it seem all sinister. Sometimes it's okay to let the bad guy be the bad guy from the beginning. I don't need two other men who have nothing to do with anything shoehorned into the plot for drama's sake.

I love the show, the filming, the plots. But I HATE that they show a clip of the end game, in the beginning of the show! How stupid! I don't want to know what's going to happen before it happens. Take that feature out and this is one of my favorite shows on ID!

I love true crime and documentaries like these shows. This one is one of my favorites! The title is pretty self explanatory, as many of these stories would be someone's worst nightmare!

In a sense, it is a little full of horror tropes and cliches, which is why I knocked my score down a little lower, but I'm serious! They really knew which stories to include in this series.

There are several episodes on here that I have rewatched a lot, such as "When the Lights Go Out" and "Bump in the Night". Those two episodes are creepy even without having a horror atmosphere. The stories alone are scary enough. Those cases would be someone's worst nightmare I would think.

I plan to watch the whole series, but I've only seen about a quarter so far. Out of all the other series on Investigation Discovery, this one is easily the most thrilling and intense. Highly recommend.

The cases they choose are good and they seem to have picked some very horrible murders. The acting though is terrible. Very campy acting, that almost feels like it's intentional. It's part of the appeal I think.

Because it's true crime you know something awful is going to happen and it builds up like a low budget made for TV movie. It's a shame that the first season isn't available in Discovery UK.

I have given it six stars as the production isn't bad and the stories are good.

Season 2 Episode 3 has a guy with the craziest wig. Does anyone know whether a new season will be coming out at all? Let's hope so.

Like no true crime series you've ever seen.

I've only watched a few episodes so far, but this is the most gut wrenching, horrifying and moving true life crime series I have ever seen. I don't usually get too emotionally involved in things on the TV (Extreme Makeover: Home Edition was one of the few exceptions), but these events are so well documented and terrifyingly portrayed. The episodes and the crimes involved really live up to the series title. I usually binge watch a series but can only manage one of these at a time. My heart goes out to all the victims and I hope the criminals get what they deserve in this life and every life after. I've never wanted to believe in reincarnation more so the punishments can continue forever.

I recommend this show if you like true crime, but just have some YouTube videos of fluffy animals to cheer you up after!
