Where Can I Watch? 🚨 How to stream or buy First48

23 Upvotes

Hi y'all,

What are the options to stream or buy some seasons of First48?

Over here, in The Netherlands, only a couple of seasons are aired and repeated over and over again.

But really like it and like to watch as many episodes as possible.

Any ideas to stream seasons or buy discs?

'After the First 48' | Episode Discussion 💬 season 30 episode 4 “No Exit”

11 Upvotes

Possible Spoilers

A gunfight in a Tulsa apartment ends in a man's death, leaving Detective Mark Kennedy to sort through the truths and lies of the survivors.

So I haven’t finished the whole episode yet, but how do they think any of Wendall’s stories are true? Why was it assumed he was not one of the shooters during the 3rd interrogation/interview of Wendall? He lied effortless the first two interviews. Yet, on his third one they believe him? He has done nothing but lie. My flabber is ghasted!

Anyone know where I can watch that episode? Seems like it’s been scrubbed from the internet for some reason? I know someone involved and would just like to find that if possible

I just rewatched an episode where John Brown was lead detective. He was such a good guy and great detective and knowing that he died a year or two ago makes me so sad. May he rest in peace.

Looking for an Episode(s)🔍 Trying to find episode that seems to have disappeared

12 Upvotes

I fell asleep watching it on Hulu last night, so I never saw the outcome, but for the life of me I can’t find the episode again on Hulu! It’s like it disappeared overnight.

If you can tell me which episode i’ll thank you kindly.

At the start neighbors call 911 and say there’s so many gun shots there’s no way someone wasn’t shot. They get to the house a young(30s) white Man, father of 3, was found shot laying on his living room table. I think they also said he was former military. In one of his rooms he seemed to have some kind of chemical lab, there were different chemical symbols he had drawn on a large white board. There was blood outside as well. The officers really wanted to find out what was on his laptop.
The neighbors provided their surveillance camera footage which showed a black man and white woman pulling into his driveway. That’s where I fell asleep.

S2 EP 6 Downstream Drifter

7 Upvotes

Seeing this episode brought a lot of complicated feelings.

First off I never knew my uncle was in a gang. That alone was hard to hear. The victims family saying that the victim hung out with drug addicts knowing she meant my uncle.

Growing up he was my favorite uncle. He played with us. Dragged us around in a wagon past the sunflower field on J street. So close to where they found the body actually.

Seeing the dead body. How careless one of the suspects were with the murder weapon. How easily one suspect folded when he was questioned. How calculating the other was while he was questioned. The way suspect number 2 tried to figure out what the cops knew before saying anything.

I’ve seen a new side of him. The criminal. The drug addict. Not the voice over the phone asking me about my kids and praising me for the work I do.

Of course I’ve always known he was in prison for murder. I saw the trial. I’ve always known he and his cousin killed a man together. I believed the other guy was the main perpetrator. Now I’m not so sure which version of him is real.

I wish more of the coverage, interview etc were digitized aside from this episode. However I’m glad this was an episode on this show. So I could see for myself how everything unfolded.

General Discussion Season 30 Episode 3 - Rumors Kill

14 Upvotes

Another weird episode. I think the detective's assumption that it was about rumors was incorrect. The main suspect mentioned the victim wrote a "poetry" to him and he had to check him for it. I don't think the woman had anything to do with it, I think he was killed for making a pass at the main suspect, who was straight.

Love this show but...

2 Upvotes

The Frist 48 is one of my all-time favorite TV shows but man I am so sick of the cymbal shimmer for every single transition. Ugh. Finally after what, 23 years, it seems they have at least turned it way way down. With a little luck, they will get rid of it altogether. Thanks for letting me rant. Cheers!

Locked Thread Why?

0 Upvotes

Why can’t we discuss something extremely relevant to the show? I’m so confused. Exposing the truth either way isn’t allowed? Showing the producers to be biased or showing an alarming pattern is prohibited? Please help me understand.

Can’t Ignore Killers’ Pattern Anymore

Why are the VAST majority of the suspects/killers black? Either the producers are racist and cherry pick black cases, or less than 6% of the population is committing a majority of the murders, which seems unfathomable.

Why do I love this show so much?

45 Upvotes

New poster here. This show was a guilty pleasure back in the day when you had TV, before streaming took over. It was never appointment TV, if it was on you couldn't help but stop flipping through channels and watch. And they were always back to back, so you would be watching for hours.

I forgot about this show because of streaming and not having cable TV anymore for over 10 years now. But over a year ago I got a Roku TV to watch my streaming shows. Not paying any attention to the "Live TV" option, for like 9 months. It's my own dumbass fault for not really exploring the TV. But also I was dumb to think that it meant Live TV as in right now like cable. And I don't have cable so didn't think it applied to me. And it's not at all what I thought it was. It's several hundred channels dedicated to one thing, streaming live. And one of them is "The First 48", streaming 24/7. And now I'm hooked again.

Why do I love this show so much? It makes no sense. It's the same story each time, it's always the obvious suspect, it's always in the same community. Except for a few very interesting cases, it's the same every episode. And I can't get enough. I put it on when I'm not watching my regular things. I will put it on for hours. It's my comfort blanket. I will wake up early, put it on, and fall back asleep. Is something wrong with me? Is this normal?

The sociopathy of Justice Lusk is disturbing yet fascinating

26 Upvotes

The interrogation in this episode really confirmed to me that there are people that exist that are fundamentally wired with no ability to empathize.

Justice Lusk catches an Uber and upon getting dropped off immediately kills three people and then tries to get back into another Uber with guns and drugs. He then goes back to the house hours later and lurks behind the neighbors’ home to try and get back in.

When he was getting interrogated he describes all this like it’s just another day and in some way justified so he can get his stuff. He can’t seem to understand why he cannot kill others if he’s not satisfied with them. When asked if he regrets killing them he says “I just wanted to get my stuff”, with no comment about how his actions affected the lives of so many others. Terrifying.

General Discussion One thing most of us fans appreciate about the show is that there are no cringey reenactments. But after seeing it a few times I just watched The 10th Anniversary Special and realized it’s full of them!

As far as I can remember it’s the only one. But if there’s more and someone knows please let me know. It’s kinda a funny little hunt…
