The show was often in the headlines due to its graphic crime scene re-enactments which many deemed too distressing for the show's 7:30pm Monday timeslot.[4]
After the Seven Network cancelled the series in early 1999, the Nine Network created their own version of the format later that year.[5] It was unsuccessful and cancelled after six weeks.
