    This show is one of the very few which actually portrays things from several perspectives and that is one of the reasons I find it so enjoyable. Sometimes, programs of this nature are very one-dimensional and that takes away greatly from what is being portrayed and communicated on the screen. "American Justice" sets and maintains a very high standard in the way cases, victims and perpetrators are shown and tries its best to do so without bias, which is the most important thing.

    People need to see facts as they are from all perspectives, not just in the way in which they are portrayed in the news and television media and that is why the program is so 'watchable' and informative.moreless

    "American Justice" is a good show for those of you who like to read about cases. Each hour-long episode gives the details of one criminal case. I think just about all of them are homicide cases. The show does get old, and the cases aren't as interesting as some of the other shows. Some episodes can be much better than others. This show is very informative of the case. They try not to leave anything out. You do have to have interest in this kind of show to watch it. If you don't like to hear or read about cases (especially about murderers, sex offenders, etc.), then I don't recommend the show.moreless

  • American Justice is a very informative true crime show. It details criminals actions in very brutal, sickening acts of murder with detectives, forensic scientists, medical examiners and others that go beyond their dutys to proove the crime of murder.moreless

    I have been watching true crime shows for several years now. I have seen everything from medical examiner shows that examine the murdered victims to proove that they were the victims of the brutal crime, murder. To shows of forensic science, where the scientist's use every ability they have learned to proove the method of death. To the detectives that bring all of the clues to the medical examiners and the forensic scientist's so that they, working all together, find out how, why, when and who did all of these horrible acts to another human being to cause the death to these people! Out of all of these true crime shows, American Justice has the most information on these criminals who do these acts. From crimes that have been commited 50 years ago or longer to crimes that happened last year! The crimes that America wants to hear about, storys that we have heard about on the news that we want to know the details and the truth about today! And, out of all the true crime shows on today, American Justice is the best and the most informative show that is on today! So if you want the newest, the most horrific and the most detailed true crime show, watch American Justice. Bill kurtis is a great narrator as well. you will enjoy this show plus you will get all the facts. For the true facts on true crime shows watch American Justice!moreless
