I love true crime shows. In most cases, I will love a show because in the end, we will see someone getting captured. However, this is not the case with all true crime shows. Take Masterminds, for example. This show focuses on the actions of previous criminals and how they got away with what they did for so long. The types of criminals on this show can range from the white-collared type to the mass murderer. They will usually focus on murderers. This makes for entertaining television, but at the same time, it’s a little bit strange for me. I don’t like that the show is glorifying a violent criminal. They talk about criminals as though they’re legends, whether they realize it or not. For example, do you think Charles Manson deserves to go down as a mastermind? If he were a mastermind, he would have figured out a way to get whatever he desired without breaking the law. That’s not a mastermind.

Okay, so you might be able to see that I get a bit agitated with this kind of stuff. Why can’t way glorify the people who captured the mass murderers instead of the mass murderers themselves? Then again, I have to admit that the darkness of these characters is what makes the stories about them so appealing. This is why I can’t help watching Masterminds on satellite tv from www.BestChoiceTV.comwhenever it comes on.
