    This is the kind of story that builds over time, so it's difficult to tell--Discovery made only one episode available--whether the rest of the series will stay as compelling as the pilot. But it's a doozy of an episode.

    [Rodie Sanchez is] so magnetic you’ll forget that this is an unscripted series.... Discovery sent one episode to critics, but it was enough to suggest that The Killing Fields should appeal to fans of both true-crime documentaries and fictionalized police procedurals.

    Fontana and Levinson probably couldn’t write a better TV character than Sanchez or create a better TV setting than Iberville Parish.... What’s really missing is something Serial, The Jinx and Making a Murderer all had: a suspect.... In any case, Killing Fields at least generates anxiety and a desire to see what happens next.

    I would rate this show a 10 if they would quit repeating themselves over and over and over and over and over. If they don't have enoughI would rate this show a 10 if they would quit repeating themselves over and over and over and over and over. If they don't have enough material for the whole season, just shorten the season, quit repeating yourselves and get on with the show. It could be a very interesting show if it was directed right.… Full Review »

    This is the most worthless show on tv after Oprah and Ellen. The over the hill police are always shown with a drink or a bottle of beer. ThatThis is the most worthless show on tv after Oprah and Ellen. The over the hill police are always shown with a drink or a bottle of beer. That really make me confident of their capability. On the new Killing Fields the retired cop almost dropped his beer when he claims is is now looking at the picture of the man who killed Carrie. Wrong you are looking at a composite that may or may not be close to the real person. You already had one wrong person identified. In the case of Big Johnny it just shows how the case was not handled correctly the first time around as it was simple to solve. Also saying how nice Big Johnny was is a joke. A nice person does not sleep with his son's wife. I gave it a chance but will never watch this garbage again. if I want to laugh I will watch a comedian.… Full Review »

I just happened to catch the first episode and I was hooked. The two main detectives are so dedicated to solving their cases you just can't help but root for them every step of the way. I truly hope to see this show on for seasons to come.… Full Review »
