Chat with a bartender in Austin changed how I watch crime docs

I was grabbing a beer last Friday and this guy next to me starts talking about Forensics Files. He said he worked as a crime scene photographer for 12 years. Told me most TV shows get the timeline totally wrong. Real evidence takes weeks not 45 minutes with commercial breaks. Been binging Cold Case Files since that convo and I notice the gaps now. The real cases move so much slower. Has anyone else had a pro ruin a show for them with real world details?

Start by watching the older episodes from the 90s. The pacing is way slower and they show the actual boring parts like waiting on lab results for months. It gives you a much better respect for how patient real investigators have to be.

The 90s episodes just drag too much for me honestly.
