This show is very superficial and good for a mindless true crime watch. The re-enactments are generally pretty terrible, often amusing. The stories are interesting and not ones I've heard of before.
The "psychologists" are shocking though. They tend to provide pointless, inane commentary with no psychological science underpinning what they're saying. The amount of victim blaming done by the psychs, narrator, and general framing of the show is horrific. DV murder is not a "crime of passion" or result of, "losing it". A dangerous angle to take.
Will this show impact your life? No. Will you get angry on behalf of the victims? Yes. Will you get a realistic overview of the experiences of these people - somewhat - the level of victim blaming and lack of support offered is a true represent ation of what it's like for the victim-survivors in the real world.
