Murder She Watched: True Crime Documentaries & Docuseries Recaps
Hosted by Amye Archer | True Crime Documentaries · EN
Ever watch a true crime documentary and realize you’ve spotted the red flag long before the investigators did? Welcome to the inner circle.
We’re just ladies of a certain age solving murders from our couches, and we’ve seen enough to know that the truth is always stranger than fiction. Hosted by writer, Amye Archer and friends, we talk about som of the most compelling true crime docuseries and cold cases out there. We bring decades of "seen-it-all" intuition and a sharp, skeptical eye to every piece of evidence, dissecting the clues that others miss.
We don’t need a badge to know when someone is lying; we have life experience, a remote, and the collective wisdom of thousands of hours of true crime research.
If you’re the type of person who stays up until 2:00 AM researching court transcripts and calling out the "obvious" suspect from your living room, you’ve found your people.
Grab your coffee, get comfortable on the couch, and let’s get to the truth together.
Episode drop on Wednesdays.
