Thanks for the Crime in Progress recommendation. Able to download it on Sky. The first episode was so sad and so intense.
I have had a really stressful couple of days. These episodes have been great for me as they are so intense I don't have time to think of any real life crap.
Up to episode 8, they keep getting madder.

JP Miller is an appalling excuse of a human being. There is lots of stuff he’s involved with that wasn’t covered in the documentary. I really hope he gets found guilty at court and has to face consequences for his actions as the slippery fucker has been getting away with his behaviour for too long.
That distracting crying performance he gave 😬

I’m so glad to read he is being investigated. There’s a page I came across on FB that has screenshots of a blog from his church and so much more info.

I’m 4 episodes in Crime & Progress, I got the 7 day free trial but it won’t be hard to watch all 10. I’m obsessed, the first 3 my heart was in my mouth the whole time, it’s so stressful to watch.

Finished all ten episodes Crime in Progress yesterday. Not gonna lie - feeling a bit bereft today. I have SO much to say (as usual 🙄 😂 ) but I'll wait until everyone's finished.

It's made by A&E, who also make The First 48 and Accused: Guilty or Innocent? - that's why it's good.

And a second season has been ordered! 🎉

For those who've binged Crime in Progress feel free to use spoilers or just sit here & wait for us all to catch up 🤣
I'm getting FOMO, it sounds like a great watch iykniw.

The second season was ordered before the first aired so hopefully the wait won't be too long. I was gutted to discover I'd watched it already after seeing the recommendations here. I watch so many shows of this ilk that I forget the rifles sometimes.

That's why I started to make a list of what I have watched, what season I'm up to, because it does get confusing!

Doesn't help that so many shows cover the same crimes 🥱 It's got to the point where I can actually recognise the case from a thumbnail picture. Especially if it's a house. That's what I remember - houses 🏡

I think that's why I enjoyed Crime in Progress so much - I didn't know any of the case it featured.

I have heard mention of Accused Guilty or Innocent on here. Where can I watch that please?
I am so grateful I took up an offer for Now so I have been able to watch Crime in Progress. Definitely needed to take my head out of my real life at the moment. Going to watch the last 2 tonight, I have been saving them.
I did already know a couple of the stories but it is a great watch, so intense.

Accused; Guilty or Innocent? was originally shown on CI here (the first two seasons) but then it switched to C5 and they have all seven seasons available on catch up. Season 8 has just finished in the USA so I'm sure C5 will have that soon. If you can't wait, the episodes are available on ok.ru - it's a website.

I love it but honestly, be prepared to be very frustrated/angry/upset/bewildered/aghast/outraged at the USA justice system. Even Mr BMP, who is usually the most level headed, dispassionate and stoic person I know - he's generally very reasonable about everything (it's actually annoying) - gets animated about it. Not sure if that's a recommendation or not 😂

Oh, there's a spin off of Accused: Guilty or Innocent? called Accused: Did I Do It?

One season of that and it's available on CI catch up. Also well worth a watch.

There's a case featured on Accused: Guilty or Innocent? that haunts me. Not sure what season but it's about a dad who was accused of shaking his child causing brain damage. There was also a later follow up episode. That's the one that's stayed with me. I think about that family often ♥

Also started watching crime in progress after it being mentioned here! Only watched the first one so far but my goodness.
Also watched the trial on channel 4 last night. This is always a funny one for me because I know I decide very early on what my judgement is. Found the original case & quite shocked at the verdicts from what I’ve seen so far!

Sorry, can we have spoilers on this please? 🙏🏻 I can't watch it until the weekend, when Mr BMP is here. I think there was a dedicated thread for it in the TV section....? (which I am avoiding)

But the very brief synopsis I read, I don't think I know the case, which is unusual as I was following trials avidly for many years and always take a particular interest in juvenile crime. The second series, I recognised the case within about ten minutes. The first one I'd never heard of, despite it happening very close to where I now live!

Apologies I will in future! I tried to be vague 😅

Oh, I know and it was appreciated 🙏🏻 😊 And it shouldn't technically be considered a 'spoiler' as it's already been shown on TV. It's just a special (annoying) request from me 😬

Mr BMP doesn't watch a lot of crime with me but he does like The Jury. It was actually doing jury service that led to him becoming a magistrate so he always likes to see it he's in agreement with them - or should I say they're in agreement with him 👨🏻‍⚖️ 😂

no I will do though, didn’t even think about a spoiler tag the first time!

I do always think I’d be terrible on a jury. I have to remind myself you’re not meant to base your decisions on your own opinion, more on what the evidence tells you. But it’s so hard!

I’ve been a witness in court and know what happened as a fact, but the person got found not guilty which is infuriating. I was so young and it was really difficult to get up there & then felt defeated with the verdict.
