So far, I'm 14min in and this is what I remember and loved about the series. There's more psychology instead of just voicing over and pointing out the obvious or recapping the footage.

I'm half minds about true crime psychology commentary because so much of it is basically opinion. For example body language phrenology and most infamously the perennial how guilty people act question. I would like psychology commentary but more rigorously scientifically vetted. Given how much of a mess psychology research is though that can be a tall order.

We had a treat today, a bunch of crazy borderline bitches interrogation. Just be careful not to fall in love with one of them.

"So how did you slit his throat"

"You know just like you'd normally do."

Ah understandable, apologies for the confusion ma'am you are free to go.

I probably couldn't fix her, but I'm willing to try. She's probably got all the face shooting and throat slitting out of her system. Also Ashley Benefield got a shitty lawyer, there was plenty to get her off.

It might just be me but I didn’t like the back and forward format of this video, it was distracting and made it hard for me to get invested in the main case. Granted you get more cases but the trade off is less in depth analysis which is what was so unique about JCS compared to EWU or any other channel.

Their comeback video after the AI failure is just an ancient reupload. After watching this one I'm wondering if it's the same, as I got a different vibe from it than previous uploads. I'm thinking it was either whoever's manning the sinking ship that is JCS lost their flair after the AI blowup, or it's just an old reupload. It feels less polished and more thrown together like their old uploads, and includes more of a superficial compilation of interviews.

Unfortunately I would've be able to speak more certainly on this some time ago, but I became tired of JCS' antics a bit before their wider audience did. They had a penchant for removing videos not only from Youtube, but also their Patreon with zero communication or acknowledgement. At that point I knew that whatever was going on behind the scenes was nothing but pure incompetence at video production. I believe someone in this thread compiled a massive zip folder of the JCS archive years ago but I'm unsure if it's complete. This is the only place I could find certain videos as they had essentially erased their own content from the internet for no apparent reason.

The archive is incomplete. The episode_list.txt file shows every video that is missing. Most of them were Patreon-only, or uploaded to YouTube only to get mysteriously deleted a few months later, and we might as well consider these videos to be lost media since they were posted before JCS was well-known in the True Crime part of YouTube (it's unlikely someone has archived them). That's too bad because I would've liked to watch "Life After Prison" or even "Life in Juvie - High Max".

The channel was 100% sold. Since their latest video is a compilation of interviews, you can compare it to another compilation the original JCS team uploaded in around 2017 to 2018 called "The Psychology of Online Predators." You'll immediately notice there are zero attempts at humor in this one and the narrator actually explains what's going on in the mind of the predators who end up in that one Chris Hansen show or are caught and filmed by vigilante/pedo hunter groups. Every excerpt is meticulously chosen and you can understand why it's shown to you. It's coherent. In their other compilation videos ('The Most Compelling Police Interrogations...' series), the interrogations are independent from each other but it's more of a 'three or four episodes in one' kind of package rather than 'we'll put interrogation 1 from case X and interrogation 2 from case Z and it's up to you to understand what connects them' like in their latest video.

The new owners of the channel lack what it takes to make decent, quality videos and it reflects in the content they're churning out.

I noticed in the video by The Right Opinion that him and his team must have read this thread at some point. They showed the episode_list.txt from Scanline on screen in the video, and made references to things said in older posts.

Also it should be noted that Scanline is still updating that archive, which is very nice.

Are they using a AI voice that's trained on kizzume or something? I just watched the most recent vid and it doesn't sound like an actual person. It sounds like text-to-speech
