1001 True Crime From Another Time with Host Jon Hagadorn

Classic Crime Episodes

Classic crime, often synonymous with classic detective fiction or the Golden Age of Detective Fiction, is a genre characterized by a structured approach to mystery and suspense. It typically involves a closed social setting, a puzzling crime (usually murder), a logical investigation, and a satisfying resolution by a brilliant detective or investigator. The focus is less on graphic violence and more on intricate plots, character development, and the exploration of moral dilemmas.
