Did DNA Evidence Exist In Small Towns in 1984? Nope. Is this show any good? Nope.

“This story is supposed to take place in 1984, but at the end of episode 1, they say they found they found the victim’s blood in the killer’s car — but wait — how? DNA evidence wasn’t around until 1986 — and it didn’t become a common police tool until the late 80s and early 90’s!
She mentions that this takes place in a super small town — and small towns were some of the very last places to use DNA evidence.
It may be a small detail to some, but it shows me that the writers don’t do their homework — and it makes all of the bland “retro” references seem super cliche.
Also, why is it when a crime show is fiction, but trying to sound like an actual true crime docu-podcast, the people being “interviewed” just sound so condescendingly fake? The narrator sounds pretty legit and believable, but the victims mom, retired cop, and 50 year old party planning lady reading her journal — all sound so incredibly fake — like they trying to act and play a part instead of trying to sound natural, like a real podcast documentary.
Just my two cents. Anyone else agree?”

“How can this be true crime if, by definition, it has to be true, and this is only been “inspired by”. Do better iHeart.”
