I am trying to watch "Crimes of the Century" on HLN. I say "trying" because, for some reason, some idiot editor got the bright idea to use a filter to make the last few words of interviewees sound like a storm trooper from the Star Wars movies. Way too distracting! The video editing is choppy and too frenetic. Apparently, this is based on the belief that the general public has a very short attention span, so frantic editing and weird sound effects are what's needed to hold the viewer's interest. This assault on my senses is needed to hold my attention? I hope this won't be the future of crime documentaries. Thanks, but no thanks. I want quality documentaries that are not produced to resemble MTV music videos.
