I've always enjoyed shows like CSI so curiosity got the better of me when I heard this was on so I gave it a look, and I admit this is a show I wouldnt mind having a go on. After all I couldnt have been much worse than one of the teams on there who obviously went to the Stevie Wonder school of observation.
Five US has announced the premiere of Murder, a new CSI-like reality competition series where amateur gumshoes will try to correctly solve a real homicide that has been recreated for them.
Each one-hour episode of Murder will give two groups of civilians the chance to solve a real-life homicide by working at an exact replica of a crime scene. With "every pertinent detail" being recreated, the groups will assess the crime scene, collect evidence and even meet with the an actual coroner who reviews the findings of the original autopsy.
After receiving 48 hours to conduct their investigations, each group will then make a presentation on their findings to Murder host Detective Tommy Le Noir, a 20-year Arlington, TX law enforcement veteran with multiple capital murder convictions. Following the presentations, Le Noir reveals to the contestants what actually happened at the crime scene and which group came to the correct case conclusion. The winning group will have a donation made in their names to a selected victim's charity.
