Valley of the Damned is a true-crime documentary television series on Investigation Discovery that premiered in February 2019. Tracy Harmon, Zina Esepciuc, and Bradley Crees are the hosts of the show, which takes viewers deep into some of the most notorious murder cases in American history.

Over the course of each episode, the hosts go behind the scenes of the investigation and the trial to provide a comprehensive and insightful look into the crimes committed. Their expertise in the true-crime genre is evident in their in-depth analysis of the evidence, the suspects, and the motives of the killers.

The show's title is a nod to the so-called "Valley of the Damned" in California's Diablo Mountain Range, which has been the site of numerous high-profile crimes over the years. However, the series covers cases from all across the country, from the unsolved disappearance of a young Indiana woman to the horrific murders of a California family in their own home.

Valley of the Damned is not your typical true-crime show. While it certainly has its fair share of dramatic reenactments and suspenseful music, the focus is always on the facts of the case rather than sensationalized storytelling. The production values are high, with cinematic cinematography, expertly crafted sound design, and polished editing.

What really sets Valley of the Damned apart from other true-crime shows is its commitment to giving voice to the victims and their families. Each episode features interviews with people who were directly impacted by the crimes, whether it's a surviving family member, a friend of the victim, or a law enforcement official who worked on the case.

The hosts are also keenly aware of the larger cultural context surrounding the crimes they cover. They don't shy away from discussing the social and political factors that may have contributed to the crimes, such as poverty, racism, and gender inequality.

Overall, Valley of the Damned is a must-watch for true-crime aficionados who crave deep dives into the most shocking and fascinating cases in American history. The show is a masterclass in investigative journalism, presenting the facts of the case in a way that is engaging, informative, and respectful to the victims and their families.

Valley of the Damned is a series that ran for 1 seasons (12 episodes) between September 3, 2019 and on Investigation Discovery
