I understand that there will be commercials but there are way too many. On top of that, when the commercial break is over they repeat what I have already seen at least two to three times on each story. Most people will not forget what just happened 10 minutes earlier. The show is interesting but they switch back and forth between cases. I would like it better if they would just film one story at a time and quit repeating just to use up air time. They should put more substance in it. If they would, I would definitely raise the ratings. I am a great fan of Untold Stories of the E.R., Moonshiners and Say Yes To The dress.
I saw this show only once, and although the premise seems interesting and entertaining, I won't likely watch again. It's too painful seeing the same segments of video repeated over and over ad nauseum with perhaps an added 10-15 seconds of each story tacked onto the end each time the primary 2-3 minute segment is repeated. I don't get this editing style. If it actually gains viewers then more power to the editors, but it's losing me. I found myself continuously changing channels to find something more interesting when another repeat would start, coming back after a few minutes to see if the story had been advanced any. Often it hadn't.
A previous reviewer claimed it's not the editor's fault, but it's definitely the editing. If it's by request of the network then the blame may lie there, but it's the editing - perhaps requested by the network - that is likely to be the downfall of this program.

Idea was really good but I had stop watching it at half of episode. I just cannot watch even single episode this poorly edited show. Repeating and repeating same clips and explaining same things again and again. Just worst direction what I had EVER seen at any series. If this series come back with new script I totally want see. Currently it is just abysmal. Acting is not really good neither and some of content are quite surrealistic, but at this kind documentary it does not matter. What matter is that whole thing is just ruined so badly that I don't know how that editor and director even have the face to do that kind "job".

The content is acceptable, throw-away entertainment.
However, it was either edited by a child, or somebody trying to be clever. Each episode usually has 3 separate stories. Unfortunately, somebody thought it'd be a great idea to have a maximum of 2-3 minutes per story before switching over to a different story. It'd then chop back to the original, and then back to one of the others. There was nothing fluid or consistent with it. It becomes irritating and frustrating trying to follow each story. Additionally, there are too many repeats of what just happened.
If they just split each story into two halves it'd be much better and less frustrating.
I've watched 2 episodes, got annoyed, now I've deleted the series link and won't be watching any more. Which is a shame, because it could otherwise have be a good show and been scored 6+.

I really got a kick out of watching the first three episodes. It was funny, shocking and embarrassing and the segments were actually real but for TV they are re-enacted versions of what really took place. I'm all okay with that. My only criticism is the editing of the show itself. Why? Two reasons: 1. It makes the show hard to follow and 2: They do too much repeating of what we already saw. For example, when I watch one show, they do a lot of jumping back and forth between segments, they have about 3 or 4 ER segments to fill the one hour show.
One of the things that drives me crazy is that they keep replaying a lot of what was already saw which is a horrible waste of time. Each 1 hour alloted show runs about 41 minutes so when you factor in all the replaying that goes on, that cuts the show down to something like 39 or 38 minutes, which is crazy. For that reason, I'm knocking off 2 stars.
My suggestion would be for them to complete one segment of the show before moving on to the next one. Doing it that way would make it much more easier to follow the show than the way they're doing it now.

The patients are su to be playing themselves, same for the doctors. This is fake because I looked a lot of them up. ALL of casts are actors, why lie and say these are the real people. This series is so stupid let's just say it's not even in reality tvform. Bad acting, silly stories seems like something kids put together.

This show has promise but the editing is not good. I could only get through one episode. 3 stories in one episode where each storyline is dragged out way too goddamn long. I found myself agitated and saying "come on just get to the point already." The first time they did it it's like "ok cool, I'm at the edge of my seat." But then they do it 4 more times after that and I just got mad and lost interest, finding the people in the situations annoying when it's of no fault of their own, it's the editing!

I noticed some of the reviews here addressed to repetitive nature of the flashbacks in the episodes. However if you get up to grab a beer or go potty or wash a couple dishes you won't miss a thing!

Fake. Edited by a child. Poor acting. I didn't make it through the first episode. That's all I can say. Nothing good about this show. Do not waste time your time on this one.

Candles rocking, headboards knocking, paintings swinging, photos & Knick knacks falling off of shelves... that's my favorite part of the show! These cautionary tales bring a new meaning to safe sex. We just keep it in the bedroom.

Sometimes I see something so idiotic and dumbed down, I can't help but go on a rant about it. So here ya' go...
Funny how the term "mysonogistic" is the new trigger word for 2014. You know what's REALLY "mysonogistic"? Women who are willing dumb themselves down by watching THIS. Seriously, it's embarrassing. It's like watching someone eat a dog turd. You know better. You have no excuse. Stop. You're better than that... and if you aren't? Well then, please continue consuming your crap. You are what you eat.
This is on TLC -- The "learning" channel; and yes, it has the same music, same Jr. high school level acting and same exact format as Honey Boo Boo (another "high quality" show produced for the sole purpose of enlightening you... it's not just there to dumb you down).
A couple used fruit during foreplay and the fruit gave the woman a rash and sent her to the ER.
It takes them a half an hour to explain that. Then again, seeing how a few reviewers still can't seem to follow it -- even with cartoon music and Mexican soap opera quality acting, maybe they need to go slower and maybe use sock puppets to simplify it so none of you ladies get lost in the super complex plot.
If you feel that my opinion of this show is unfair, than teach me a lesson and do something about it. Read a freaking book for God's sake. Draw something with crayons. Stimulate your mind for a change instead of dumbing yourself down with zombie crap like this.
Or don't. Keep doing EXACTLY what you're doing. Watch MOAR of this. Dumb yourself down to the point where you can no longer read, write and speak in complete sentences (assuming that you already can). Many men will consider you the "perfect" women. One who is so STUPID that she can do little more than clean toilets, vacuum and make yummy sandwiches for us to enjoy.
"When you're done with your chores, go watch your Honey Boo Boo & Sex Sent Me to the ER stories dear... SHHHHHH!!! Please don't talk when the adults are talking dear... since you have nothing intelligent to say due to the fact that you spent all of your free time watching dumbed down CRAP."
Teach me a lesson. Keep watching MOAR. I dare ya'.
