Verified ReviewerMy name is ***, and I am...
The reviewer tried to contact the company before posting this review.
- - Family says police narrative conflicts with autopsy.
- - Video shows the scene wasn't documented.
- - Records were denied; the family has evidence.
My name is ***, and I am asking for your help in telling the story of my daughter ***, who died at age 15 under circumstances that do not match what police have claimed.
Two men found my daughter while she was still twitching and bleeding, yet they never called 911. Police later told me these men didnt have a phone, police said they flagged someone driving.
I have the video as when they found her. Police never notified me. 2 ladies came and knocked at my door saying my kid was killed but 2 white guys. I was at the scene from 2:45 AM to 8 AM and never saw police question anyone, even though they were the last people to see her alive.
Police refused to give me their names, and their press release falsely stated no witnesses came forward.
I have video showing my daughters remains left in the street after police washed the scene. There was no tape, no perimeter, no evidence markers, and her body was left uncovered for hours. Witnesses reported she was being chased by two white males with a metal pole shortly before she was found but police never documented or followed up on these accounts.
I now have the autopsy report, which shows bluntforce head trauma and injuries that do not match the police narrative of an accidental hitandrun. The police press release claimed no intentional violence, but the injuries, witness statements, and scene evidence tell a different story.
For two years, the Ridgecrest Police Department refused to give me the police report, autopsy photos, toxicology, witness statements, or any investigative documents.
I have secret recordings, photos, videos, witness accounts, and documentation showing contradictions between police statements, the autopsy, and what I personally witnessed.
I am asking for your help to bring attention to this case. I am prepared to provide all evidence immediately.

Verified Reviewer |Reruns and commercials
- - No season 2 for popular shows; old content is reworked as new.
- - The app has more commercials than content; ads for other Discovery shows.
I will use it in a more limited way than I previously have. Before it was my number one channel and app and now I'm seeking alternatives due to the constant repetition of content.
There is no season 2 of any of the good shows. They rework old content and put it as new on similar shows.
All you see is more and more reruns of shows. The app has way more commercials than content. Most of the commercials are for the other discovery channel shows that they try to shove down our throat.
Food shows are most common ones now. I don't want to see the same thing over and over for the money I pay for this service.
- It started out as a good channel with great shows
- It has went completely downhill
Preferred solution: Better programming
User's recommendation: I wouldn't pay extra for this channel.
Program missing person the curious case of
The reviewer tried to contact the company before posting this review.
Just wanted to report I saw one of the missing persons on the curious case of the program. Just wanted to report.
- More access to contact persons trying to find missing persons
Preferred solution: Someone to talk
User's recommendation: No problem
Used to be good
Used to be fresh. Informative...
engaging. Now it's just *** repurposed reruns with *** production.
User's recommendation: Quit being lazy... make new content and be serious. Its so cheesy now. "Southern fried homicide?" ....so dumb.

Verified Reviewer |I want pit bulls & parolees off of my featured list.
- - Pit Bulls & Parolees should be removed from Discovery after the old man begged.
- - Discovery's head is a monster for not caring about the injustice.
Pit Bulls & Parolees should have been completely taken off Discovery after the episode where the old man was crying and begging the city council not to let Torres buy the property next to him and completely diminish his property value that he worked his whole life to get. Whoever is the head of Discovery must be a monster not to care about this gross injustice and complete lack of morals.
- I love most of the shows
- Support tia torres attempt to diminish the property value of a whole residential area
Preferred solution: Apology
User's recommendation: Don't watch Pit Bull and Parolees

Verified ReviewerJust reruns reruns, and trying to make reruns look new.
- - ID Discovery changed in 2025 and the network feels worse.
- - Old shows are reaired under new titles masking changes and viewers want new ID originals.
I have been watching ID Discovery for 20 years now. Since the beginning of 2025, everything changed.
I think ID Discovery was bought out or taken over, and whomever took over seems to be hell-bent on turning this network into a blazing dumpster fire. It sucks. WTF are you doing here??? Where are all of the great shows and new seasons?
To make matters worse, you seem to think that your viewers are ignorant to buy into your re-airing old shows under new titles, thinking we won't see what you are doing.
You suck! Bring back the glory days, the new seasons of ID originals.
- There are no pros
- Everything about id discovery sucks
Preferred solution: I would like ID discovery to go back to the glory days before the takeover.
User's recommendation: Keep channel surfing. ID discovery is in a terminal state of self destruction.

Verified ReviewerI enjoy the ID channel. I really do. repetitive commercials kill
- - Commercials are repetitive and disruptive, making me tune away.
- - Ads replay the same campaigns, including older ones from years past.
But... I am starting to tune away from the channel altogether due to the commercials.
Never in my life have I ground my teeth like Yosemite Sam every time it is a commercial break. The same commercials play over and over. Over and over. Over and over --- over and over.
And just when I thought it might change a week later, it is the same commercials yet again. The same goes a month later. Even half a year later. They even go back to older commercials from years ago.
The actors on them must be old and in retirement by now. Why is it like this? It is a form of torture that would make a terrorist talk. The commercials go like this: Haribo Gold Bears, Rio Mare tuna, Ojo Casino, Kevin and Sara insurance coverage, Air Wick Vibrant, Bums Anusol wipes, L'Oreal with Gillian Anderson, Betano Casino, Cover Direct life insurance.
The producers themselves should sit through a day of watching this to see what it feels like. I am telling you, this is a formula to chase viewers away.
For the love of documentaries, stop this insanity! I feel like it is for the purpose of brainwashing.

Verified ReviewerDisappointed
- - Canceled ID Discovery subscription; Evil Lives Here not airing at original 9 PM EST; new shows are poorly produced.
I've been a customer of ID Discovery for over a year, and I just canceled my subscription. Evil Lives Here was my favorite series.
However, they've seen fit this year to make it unavailable at the original air time, which is Sunday at 9 PM EST. Also, new shows of other crime series aren't well-produced shows on ID. They're slow with productions or have canceled them altogether. Who wants to watch Mean Girl Murders, A Killer Among Friends, or Did the Killer Call?
The reruns alongside poorly produced shows, ugh.
What happened to Murder in the Heartland and anything with Joe Kenda narration or Friday Night Lights, which were all well-produced? I'm bidding this stream farewell.
- Too numerous to mention zero stars
User's recommendation: Just don’t bother

Why background music? I cannot hear what is being said.
Please get rid of background music. I watch a lot, but sometimes the music is so loud that I turn it off.

Verified ReviewerChannel sucks now
- - The channel's format has become reruns, described as sickening and despicable.
- - The reviewer plans to leave and seek an alternative.
The format of this channel has gone to *** Rerun, rerun, rerun, and then another rerun. It's sickening how despicable this channel has gotten!
You used to be a good channel to watch. I'm planning on leaving and trying to find an alternative!
You should be ashamed that you went this low. I am sure you have the ability to change it.

why does id have the annoying banners pop up on the bottom of the screen promoting up coming shows blocking things that are shown on the bottom of the screen of the show you're watching?
- Good shows
- Annoying large banners at the bottom of the screen
Preferred solution: no banners on the bottom of the screen

ID is going to take whatever advertisers they can get. They don’t have the luxury of being selective and having to turn advertisers away because their time slots are full and have a waiting list.
As for the older commercials/actors that is at the respective company’s request. Actors/spokespersons get paid in 6 month renewable blocks per ad. After one year they stop collecting royalties. (Depending on contract).
Matthew McConnaughey’s Lincoln commercial from ten years ago is cheap because he gets no royalties. Serena Williams debuted this Spring for Lincoln and is in the middle of her block and does receive them.
