I sometimes fall asleep watching the Crime & Investigation channel. Whenever I wake up in the morning to that cable channel’s eerie theme, my first thought is always that it’s fortunate I didn’t have a nightmare because of the scary real-life stuff they usually feature. I’m usually too tired to turn off the TV before I admit to myself that I am too sleepy to pay attention to any show. Watching these programss can make one really paranoid; especially because, last night, I noticed an overcurious neighbor trying to look inside our apartment, over stained glass, at 3 a.m. no less. But they’re also compelling to watch, especially when they show how law enforcers crack cases or how technology helps in solving crimes and analyzing evidence. Sometimes, though, I prefer CSI. At least with that, despite their focus on flair and improbable situations, I have the luxury to think that everything that happens are fictional.
Real-life drama always make good television. Just this week, they featured a complicated case of missing Last Will and Testament Forms on the event of a supposedly natural death of a very wealthy individual. His California Will apparently shows that he has a sole major benefactor, a lover who swiftly took another lover upon his death and also ended up dead, with the new lover’s name appearing on the other dead person’s will. Stuff like that happens in real life, yes.
