See No Evil (2014– )
3/10
Unnecessary Noise
28 May 2019
I usually enjoy ID's shows, especially when there is little outside narration, and the story is pieced together by actual witnesses and professionals who were present during or around the time the crime occurred. "See No Evil" has this going for it in spades, but there is WAY too much background noise/music - seemingly one eerie sound or song per scene - going on to the point of distraction. It's pretty ridiculous, and I wish they would fix it. I mean, seriously, during the episode I viewed tonight (5/27/19), one of the cops is trying to bring up old video footage (which, as makes sense, happens a LOT in this show), and the accompanying music makes it sound like he's about to open the box at the end of "Seven"! He, then, calls the victim's family member to tell them that they "got something," and the music sounds like a mish-mash of vaults slamming, knives being sharpened, records being played backwards, and....oh, I don't know, garbage disposals running amok? Just...no. It makes it unwatchable, for me, although, as always, the stories are important to tell and the rest of the production is very well done. Keep those and cut out the noise, ID, and you might get some viewers back.
