Viewer Discretion Advised
Channel 4 warns that the show is "not suitable for younger viewers," as some episodes contain "graphic scenes of homicide."

The series is a must-watch for fans of true crime, particularly those who enjoy 24 Hours in Police Custody and Catching a Killer, which also offer unprecedented access into investigations.
Fan Reviews
On IMDb, one reviewer wrote: "First off, this show isn't exactly perfect, but it is solid. Which is more than I can say for most other murder mystery documentaries. What I really appreciate about this series is that they never resort to using corny recreated cut scenes. It's all real footage. I strongly dislike how reliant other series are on this method, and it ruins the experience for me."
Another said: "Yeah, there are a couple of cases that will have you screaming at the TV. I do hate that not everyone on the show was convicted and you know they're guilty. But overall, this is one of the best crime shows out there. I hope they do another season."
A third added: "I can't emphasize enough that Killer Cases is either 'The Best' true crime TV series, or at least in the top 3. I watch a lot of these types of shows and would give this one a very high score of 8/10 because I could not stop watching it and can't wait for Season 7 to begin."
Killer Cases can be streamed on Channel 4.
