Nothing like has really been tried in Canada and it already has been having some controversy brew up. Shows like this are old hat in US but this one certainly has some twists. The reality format rather than just re-enactments puts a new spin on things. Will be interesting to see when it goes to Netflix/iTunes and airs on pay TV in Europe what the feedback is. Its sort of a newer version of shows like Crimewatch that used to be on the BBC in England when I was a kid. Even if some the scenes like all reality TV seem a bit staged this is a very meaningful and powerful show. Oprah and her network are used to pushing the envelope and this series is a good fit for OWN. Even if you don't like crime or reality shows you would have to be a pretty heartless and worthless person to not appreciate what this show is doing for these families and the public!
