'Viewers don’t see the victims behind these crimes.' Is true crime entertainment or 'true horror'?

Host Frank Greaney, discussing comments from anti-true crime psychologist Dr Thema Bryant.The Mel Robbins PodcastLunchtime Live“There is a real fascination with getting inside the mind of a criminal,” he said. “And the Irish are great storytellers – where you got conflict and resolution, you can see why people would be interested.”“Some people view these things as a form of entertainment,” he said.

He said it makes sense that people are interested in true crime as it reminds us “of our humanity and how precious it is” - but we should still be mindful of the full story.“Perhaps if they did remember, they wouldn’t find it so relaxing.”Tech Correspondent Jess Kelly agreed with Frank, admitting she has chosen to “pull back” from consuming too much true crime media.

“I don’t like true crime because I had a tough childhood,” she said. “But I'm obsessed with knowing the stuff that certain people do, how they do it, how they think they’re going to get away with it."Psychiatry Professor Brendan Kelly said it is absolutely normal to consume true crime – but we often need more perspective on the story.
