“ID commercials”

Marni M.
1/2/23

I love watching ID really I could sit on it all day long. I find it very entertaining. My only problem is the repeated commercials about Lumi deodorant. Obviously she's got the monopoly on those but they come on like every or every other commercial and they are disgusting. And if you look at her reviews they all say the same thing that they mute them anyways so why does she have the majority of the commercials on that make me actually not want to even watch ID?

“Tired of the fake southern accents and using same show material but changing show title”

SUSAN J.
9/12/20

They always present "new shows" but the stories are the exact same ones over and over. Pretty much every show they have on they hire actors who do terrible fake southern accents. If you are gonna keep using the same stories over and over with new show titles that involve someone from the south then dear God... hire a REAL Southern actor. These actors trying to do a fake southern accent look and sound RIDICULOUS!

They cancel all the good shows, and barely make any new shows. Definitely not the way it use to be. There's basically nothing worth watching.

I enjoy the programmed but I'm tired of the "background" music overtaking the people talking. I don't read lips but this is apparently something you need to be able to follow what the story line is. It appears that who ever is playing can't get a show under normal circumstances. Cut the background music to a level a person can follow the verbal story.
I watch on DSTV in South Africa

ID channel is getting really bad for repeat commercials and ad's about the annoying MAX streaming. Terrible now trying to watch a show with the same ad 2 or 3 times in one break. I wouldnt get Max despite them now pissing people off. Terrible channel now. Whoever is the program director should be fired...

I enjoy the subject matter of all the investigative shows. My beef, however is with the background music. It is so loud that I have a hard time making out what the people being interviewed are saying. If I can hear them at all.

Who wants to hear the keys of a piano pounding away while your trying to hear people describe what happened in an investigation?
I know they are trying to create suspense, but all they are accomplishing is irritating the heck out of me.
PLEASE keep the sound effects down to a reasonable level.

I absolutely love investigation discovery, love to load up my DVR, but this episode was tasteless in that it showed the end of a live burlesque show she attended the night before she got killed, with naked bodies blurred out. Hate strip bars, my dad first cheated on my mom because of burlesque, you may as well as showed live footage of the strip bar at the corner. This episode was seedy and stupid, and promotes burlesque, which is a step before adultery. I like to solve crimes but this show was messed up. I am a Christian and don't like strip joints. Get saved. Sorry, couldn't watch it

Have always watched most of their shows for years. Unfortunately, over time they have gone from great to whatever! Most of their shows are 99% garbage and 1% actual facts about the crimes. I am tired of hearing their never ending interviews with every resident in town who knows absolutely nothing about the case other than rumors! I now fast forward to the final 5 or 6 minutes of the few shows I might look at and get the entire story thereby eliminate all the insignificant junk. Their moderators for most the shows leave a lot to be desired. Now to look for a good Crime Show!

I love real case crime shows. ID was hands down the best & only place to watch such shows for many years. Now the are other channels which show this content. However, in the last 2-3 years ID focuses on the personalities rather good ole true crime(kendal, the show w/atlanta cops, homicide hunter, etc.). Now i find I really don't watch ID nearly as much. Although there are more networks to choose from. I wish ID would get back to what made them stand out, lose the personalities focuse on real crime cases with twists & turns that actually happen. I want to make ID go to - now it is something I check & pass right through

I truly enjoy some of the shows on ID, but sometimes find myself unable to sit through the excessive commercials about their their pay for view app. The SAME commercials over and over! For a service I pay for. On most apps you can let the show run and then go back and skip the commercials. Not on ID! If you are going to watch their shows, you MUST watch the same 3 commercials over and over! Even to the point that on most commercial breaks you see the same commercial repeated...during the same break! Cur it out...or i cut it off!

We do not watch this channel any more. It's a shame because I enjoy watching crimes being solved. I really liked "Homicide Hunter", "Murder Chose Me", "See No Evil" etc. but now the shows are old 20/20 Shows or reruns with different titles. We now watch The Rachel Maddow and the Laurence O'Donnell shows. Sorry to lose this channel but maybe we are better off.

ID, you are losing many past loyal viewers. Really good shows weren't renewed (A Crime to Remember, Real Detective, a few others). All they advertise now is their pay for streaming service, full of repeats and idiot shows! I watched ID as it was a true crime station. So awful now. You've almost lost me too.

I am so sick and tired of watching the ID channel and having to watch the same ridiculous commercials over and over and over. Why do they do that? It's like they pick the most annoying part of a show and use that for the commercials.Its so highly annoying and I'm so tempted to stop watching this channel all together it's so unnecessary. Stop for Christ sakes

What an abomination of TV! Michael Barnett is a bonafide lunatic. The exploitation of Natalia was horrid. Shame on you. I will NEVER watch your channel again. Absolutely inept and disgusting.

I have several shows that I like watching in ID except I have an issue with the background music. Sometimes the music is so loud that I can't hear what the people on these shows are saying. Why is there a need for this anyway? If you insist on background music LOWER IT! I am about to stop watching this station entirely less something changes!

I just watched the commercial for the new "Aquaman" movie SIX(6) TIMES IN A ROW! Whatever interest I had in the movie has waned due to constant viewing of this commerical. Seems ID would rather overload viewers with ads than play the show(s). This needs to be addressed ASAP...too many commercials, not enough of the show you're trying to watch---this is for all shows! This review will be addressed the same as others...nothing will be done cause this has been ongoing for years!

5 commercials during a break is fine but 10 yes 10 I counted them several times is too much for my viewing pleasure. Anyone else notice?

I'm getting tired of seeing a new show or new episode of a show listed as new and 5 mins in i recall the exact same content was shown on a different series on ID channel. It's a smack in the face being asked to pay a monthly payment to not even get new content. Clearly they must think we are all too stupid to recall when we saw it the first time. I've contacted them on it and they had the nerve to play dumb and want proof they recycled and guy was in luck after a week of bs old crap labeled as new i started writing down both series they used the same show on and never got a return response.
Already pay for cable now have to pay to stream and they can't be bothered with providing anything original
anymore. Unreal

Tip for consumers:
no

Please cut down on the commercials since we all are paying for this service and it seems bananas to see the same 3/4 commercials out of 7 each break in the segments! Please change that it would make watching ID sooooo much better!

You must have some real idiots running that place. You obviously don't care about ratings or, what people want to see.
"Murder chose me" and Detective Joe Kokinda" were awesome!

ID channel is the worse at blocking the screen up with ads. Half the time you can't read the close caption when you can't understand what someone is saying who doesn't speak English. It's ridiculous.
