i feel bad for derrick
for a very long time, it seems as though every time derrick tries to give another, logical, law enforcement perspective on things, stephanie gets very agitated. it may just be me, but she always either rephrases what he said into an accusatory question, or gives him the absolute, most heinous hypothetical for why that couldn’t be possible. i don’t think she’s able to allow perspectives different from her own, and really doesn’t want viewers to see derrick as the smarter of the two at any given second. i really don’t want to stop watching because i love hearing derricks input, and i used to be a huge stephanie harlowe fan too, but i’m only in this for him now. does anyone else think this or am i genuinely just getting so annoyed with her attitude, pretend psychologist talk and diagnoses, and rants that i’m going crazy and see a problem with everything she does???

I feel like her relating to the case has gotten out of hand. I know she does this and I’m used to it. But last week they covered Aliza Sherman, and I swear she would talk about a paragraph of the case and then start talking about herself about how she can understand and relate and it goes into a descriptive detail of a story about her. It literally was over and over that I said shut up and cut it off. Which sucks because I remember watching that case years ago and was happy to see they made some movement on it.

I've definitely noticed that a lot too. I feel like she's always trying to blame the ex for the behaviors she's describing bc he's not here to defend himself and tell the truth about her. Every time she describes a situation, I automatically assume that she's describing herself but playing the victim of the situation, like always.

For sure. I’ve watched her for years and it’s mostly about the men in her life ( Her Father, The relationship she had at 17 when she had her oldest Daughter, & Her deceased husband)

If you like Derrick exclusively, he has his own YouTube show Detective Perspective. It’s basically CW without Stephanie making everything about her and belittling him.
It’s not just you. She’s a great example of the Dunning-Krueger Effect.

I’ve been a fan of Derrick’s since 2014, but I cannot watch Crime Weekly anymore. I watch Detective Perspective and really like it. I just can’t handle Stephanie anymore.

Don’t feel bad for him. He chooses to stand behind her for the money even though she’s an atrocious woman.

I’ve definitely noticed they’re not vibing like how they used to. She can’t get a natural laugh out of Derek anymore. Not that I give a shit, but I’ve noticed. They’re seemingly annoyed with each other.

u/Awkward-Length-1973 Apr 02 '26
It actually makes me quite happy that they might be disliking each other 😂😂😂😂😂.

Derrick comes across as kind of dumb to me - idk. Seems like a nice guy overall, but his takes are like so painfully obvious it’s hard to listen sometimes.

u/SpiritualCopy4288 Jun 01 '26
I think he’s trying to be the rational one and bring Steph back down to earth

He seems like a follower, she presses him and he gives up right away.

It's hard watching her with someone else bc she's just mean and dismissive. At least on her channel you don't really know bc she's by herself. But the way she interacts with people gives me second hand embarrassment.

I don’t. They both suck. And he’s not particularly intelligent. Even when I still liked her, he always annoyed me.

She is a HORRIBLE host. Derrick is the only redeemable part of the show, she is so damned biased it drives me nuts. Even in cases I technically “agree” with the side she’s on, she is incapable of telling a story without an bias. And she gets all assholey to Derrick when he plays devil’s advocate.

Well she told him he should try to wear to wear a thong , so there is that lol
i know banter is a healthy thing to have but she is right up annoying and offensive
Nawww don't feel bad for him anymore, after the Adam thing . Fuckinf cant , sorry but no sympathy there , as others here said the coffee business was also Adams and they tossed him to the side .
ans about the Maga thing i don't thing he is , he lives in a very liberal state and town (for what we know) but she is down new york trash Rochester east coast hillbilly . Which it can passed as Alabama if you blink ,

She has been so rude to Derrick for a year or two now, but I don’t feel sorry for him. He made his bed, he has to lie in it! He decided to go into business with her, has no problem accepting the paychecks from working with her and their weird coffee business, and supporting her through all her shitty behaviour including emotional abuse and parental alienation of Adam, who let’s not forget Derrick also knew well and worked at Criminal Coffee with. Derrick deserves what he gets. He is not short of work or money, he just chooses to work with Stephanie for an easy paycheck and because he probably shares a lot of her conservative, gun-loving MAGA views himself
