TELLYKAZAM:- Forensic Files



It's an obviously morbid choice, but if we move over the fact that this show extensively dives into how a lot ( seriously a lot) of people have met a really sad and painful end, we can appreciate the finesse with which the creators have dealt with the concept.

Starting in 1996 and spanning over two decades, the show has successfully aired 24 seasons, Finally going off air in 2011 only due to the sad demise of a certain Mr Peter Thomas.

Who is Peter Thomas you ask?
He is the irreplaceable narrator of forensic files. He was the "first and only choice" for this task. The calm soothing voice of his along with the macabre genre somehow just fits together perfectly. Not trying to stimulate a feeling of guilt or hatred but just a pinge of regret in our conscience of what we sapiens have come to be, he matter of factly emphasizes the significant role forensic advancement plays in solving impossible crimes.

In a nutshell, this show brings to fore the significance of technological advancement in forensic science in solving crimes.
Sounds boring? 

Maybe the Creator Paul Dowling knew this and decided to pair this with the reenactment of the crime along with personal interviews with investigators and relatives of the victims and real crime scene photographs!
But if we take away all of this, this show stills stands as one of the best true crime shows ever made because of how the crimes were actually solved.

Exhibit A

A piece of chewing gum in a trash can near the body has teeth imprints of the killer.

A random lower jaw 10 years old decaying in a pond miles away in a jungle with no teeth left was traced back as the killer was caught by DNA analysis extracting the wisdom tooth that was still stuck inside the jaw.

We can go on forever. But if you are a couch detective and not too squeamish this show is for you.

 PS:  Way better than Crime petrol.
