Does anyone else like watching true crime shows on TV, like what is on the ID station on cable? My brother kids around with me all the time that I'm plotting to get rid of him The fact is, I enjoy the forensic part especially the lab. I wish I had known about forensics when I was younger. I would have definitely changed my profession. Am I the only one who finds it interesting?

I'm in the UK but I love true crime and watch a lot on Netflix. I was really engrossed in the Ted Bundy tapes and could't believe such a charming man could be so evil. Those poor girls could never have known what was in store for them.

That is so true! Looking at him, you would never know he was a serial killer.

@simone10 There are other serial killers that are charming too. That's how they lure their victims. It's quite frightening.

I loved CSI! I wish it was still on. I have been binge-watching it on Hulu.

@simone10 , I get tired of watching too much of one show too. It all depends on my mood.

@marlina so do I. That's one of the good things about cable. There is usually always something on one of the channels.

That's a bummer! I will admit that I do get tired of them from time to time and will binge watch something else but I always come back eventually.

@simone10 Unless it is a robbery that ends up badly, most people know their killers, an ex-boyfriend, someone of the family, a friend, this is true.

@LadyDuck or a serial killer. They seem kind of rare these days but there were a lot of serial killers in the '70s and '80s.

I love them too. They say that most people who are killed know the killer.... a friend or family member.

Forensic Files is about the only show I sometimes watch for entertainment, and I like to read mysteries that focus on the forensics. Unfortunately, I don't have much time to watch more than a bit of news on TV now. And I rarely can read as much as I'd like.
