Over the course of the pandemic I've found myself watching ID a lot more. And I'm curious as to what ID shows - besides In Pursuit, of course! - everyone enjoys watching.
I've actually become addicted to Reasonable Doubt. It's a show where a retired homicide detective and a defense attorney team up and investigate cases where an innocent person may be behind bars. They look into the circumstances of the case, do an independent investigation, and come to a conclusion, all while speaking with the family member or associate of the person who was convicted. It's a really fascinating show! More often than not, they don't find much evidence that will exonerate someone (in one, the family hoping their loved one's conviction would be overturned was stunned to find, the day before the murder, the convict was at a hardware store buying everything that was used to dispose of the victim's body - kind of hard to argue with that), but there are a few episodes where they hire a PI to conduct a more thorough search, and I believe in at least one case a conviction was overturned.
There's also a couple shows about small-town crimes that I enjoy. They're kind of like The Hunt in that they have no narration and it's simply the people involved telling the story. Same with Evil Lives Here, which interviews family members of killers/other criminals and has them talk about what they did before committing their crimes. Warren Jeffs' brother (and one of his victims) is featured on an episode, as is one of the siblings of Aaron & Jacqueline LeBaron, longtime AMW fugitives whose father, Ervil LeBaron, was a violent polygamist cult leader.
Most shows I like but I'm not a fan of this one show that does exactly what AMW's infamous "Bones" reenactment did - they have the victim "narrate" the story. ("Two days before I was killed, this happened.")

I'm going to be honest in that while I enjoy watching the ID channel- In Pursuit is the only show I watch religiously. I'm not saying this to be a shill but I signed up for Discovery plus and do plan on watching ID-related shows more often now to take advantage.
I do enjoy Disappeared even though it hasn't aired on a while. Those and "I Almost Got Away with It" are the two shows where I've seen more than 10 episodes lol.
I do enjoy Joe Kenda if he happens to be on but haven't seen as many Homicide Hunter episodes as other people probably have seen.
I also find most episodes of On the Case with Paula Zahn and/or True Crime with Tamron Hall to be well-done episodes.

My mom actually loves Joe Kenda. That's her favorite show on ID. I think it's fine, but I wouldn't really watch a marathon of it. I've always wondered if he had any cases on AMW.
Paula Zahn actually just did an episode on the Molly Bish murder a few weeks ago.

Yeah I enjoy Joe Kenda and I've seen enough Homicide Hunter episodes to where I know "My My My" is his famous catchphrase but for some people he's like a religion lol.
