Redrum (2013 )

Redrum (2013 ) When it comes to murder, no detective starts their search at the beginning of the crime. Rather, a murder investigation always begins with the body, after the deed is done. It is up to the police to piece together the story, moving backwards in time until they arrive at the root of the crime. In REDRUM, viewers follow the backwards tale of murder from false motives and mistaken witnesses to conversations taken completely out of context, until the truth finally comes out at the very end. As its title implies, "Redrum" works in reverse. The true crime series flips the script of traditional mystery programming by starting the stories at the scene of the crimes and working backward to reveal the killers. Told with the help of interviews with friends and family close to the victim -- and sometimes even the killer -- each story integrates the interviews with stylized re-creations to show how investigators piece together a case, tracing a series of intersecting events and relationships that unfolded to arrive at the root of the crime.
