This docuseries is a compelling watch, especially for those interested in real-life crime and police work. PD True's use of first-hand accounts from officers, combined with body-cam footage and raw interviews, adds a layer of authenticity and depth to the storytelling. The series excels in showcasing the heroism of police officers while maintaining a focus on the humanity of both the officers and the victims. Instead of having a host, the show uses "cop to cop" conversations. The lack of bravado and the genuine conversations between senior police personnel and the officers involved add a refreshing and emotional dimension to the viewing experience.
