  More web-series reviews… Merseyside Detectives – Came out in 2022. Liverpool, 2022 - Ashley Dale and nine-year-old Olivia Pratt-Korbel are shot dead at home, victims of feuding gangs. Can the police bring the killers to justice? A review from inews.co.uk... Channel 4’s latest true crime documentary, Merseyside Detectives: The Murders of Ashley and Olivia, revisits the shocking murders of 28-year-old Ashley Dale and nine-year-old Olivia Pratt-Korbel, killed just two miles and 46 hours apart in Liverpool in 2022.

With the horrific murders so fresh in our minds, the film waged an uphill battle to impart information we didn’t already know. Nonetheless, by following the investigations as they unfolded, the first episode did an admirable job of making...

Her husband Scott was convicted, though he maintains innocence. Twenty years later, Laci's mother and friends speak out, revisiting this tragedy. A review from IMDB... This is one of the better true crime docs I've seen, and I've seen a lot. True crime is a tough genre, as there's sometimes too much emphasis on the procedural aspect while forgetting that this happened to a real person with a real family. This series made me feel like I understood the person Laci was and why people loved her. The interviews from her friends and mother especially showed so much of her personality and heart when she no longer can. Knowing the person she was made me all the angrier when they examined the evidence towards her husband. How someone can snuff out a life like tha...
