I Was Murdered

The Lovely Bones hit upon a fascinating format - a murder told first person by the victim herself. This series showcases that style, with the victim being all knowing but never revealing the killer. Instead, the viewer must piece together the whodunit based on clues provided by investigators and family/friends. Each case is real, using the tried and true crime story elements that we know make such compelling television. But the series gets its unique style and tone from the fictionalized (though based on truth) first-person narration in the voice of the victim from beyond the grave.
