Final Witness (ABC)

[Miss Scarlet]

Am I the only one still watching this?
It's moved up to Must-See-Or-Tape level for me.
I'm a huge 48 hours mystery fan, but this is even better. I love the way they give a voice to the victim explaining the story from the imagined viewpoint of the one who can't speak for themselves anymore. It just seems compasionate rather than analytical. You really feel the loss that the victims' survivors & friends feel.
Also, I like the way the actors sit in the blank room at the end, silently holding the pictures of the people involved. Very touching. Plus, it shows how well the show does with casting the actors to look like the characters in the story.

I have watched every episode and find the show both fascinating and depressing.

It's very well done. I usually DVR or watch it On Demand, but I've see every episode and plan to continue.

I was really surprised that Kerry Washington didn't get an Emmy nomination. Maybe the show aired too late in the season for this year's awards.

Oh I agree with all you said. I love all the true crime and/or investigative reporting type of shows like 48 Hrs, 20/20, Dateline NBC etc. I've only caught the most recent episode of Final Witness but thought it was so well done. I will keep watching!

This show creeped me the hell out last night. I watched part of the Addie Hall episode (because I remember the story IRL in the post-Katrina insanity) and had to quit watching it before half-way because one of the interviewees (an alleged friend of Hall) is suspected of murdering and dismembering another NOLA bartender earlier this year.

Maybe I need to try a different episode or stop watching the news.

I LOVE this show too. It's on my DVR automatic tape list! Love it.

I can't believe it, but I went to sleep on this show last night. I'm no sure what happened. lol I hope they have it On Demand.
