Tropes commonly seen on this Network:

  • Anachronism Stew: Count the number of times that they had episodes covering crimes in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s where you can see cars from the 2000s.
  • And That's Terrible: In the "Heartless Souls" episode of Deadly Women, an interviewee describes the bludgeoning of a child with a hammer as a "cowardly, terrible act."
  • Beauty Is Bad: Subverted in shows like Deadly Women and Scorned: Love Kills where the actors/actresses portraying the murderers are shown to be more attractive than their real-life counterparts. Even in Momsters with the Brawn Hilda like Anne Marie Bloxsum, who is portrayed by a pretty and plus-sized actress who is given a raggedy wig to look Hollywood Homely.
  • Became Their Own Antithesis: On at least one episode of Deadly Women, a sweet-hearted teenage girl started dating a warlock-wannabe who was a few years older. She quickly turned cruel and manipulative, and in the end, became a cold-blooded killer.
  • Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: The entire point of shows like The Devil You Know, Betrayed, and Unusual Suspects.
  • Black Widow: Deadly Women, obviously, though other shows also have episodes devoted to those kind of cases. Needless to say, the subjects of said episodes will get their day on Deadly Women sooner or later.
  • Canada Eh:
    • Launched a Canadian version in 2010; it was actually a Canadian version of Court TV that had refused to re-brand as TruTV due to CRTC rules designed to avert Network Decay.
    • Shows produced by Cream Productions, including Web of Lies (pre-2021 seasons) and Fear Thy Neighbor are filmed primarily in Canada, with mostly Canadian casts. Unmodified Ontario license plates can occasionally be seen in the former series, especially in the early episodes.
    • Some of the show's, such as See No Evil, etc., have focused on crimes that happened in Canada.
  • Creator Provincialism: Deadly Women is produced in Australia, resulting in a significant number of cases featuring Australian women (and/or murders that took place in Australia regardless of the nationalities of the people involved).
  • Crime Reconstruction
  • Deathly Dies Irae: This is often used in the soundtrack for Deadly Women.
  • Disproportionate Retribution:
    • Scott Eizember goes on a rampage when his girlfriend Kathy breaks up with him, killing two of her neighbors, shooting Kathy's teenage son, and severely beating the boy's grandmother.
    • Steven Jay Russell is given a 140-year prison sentence in solitary confinement for fraud and non-violent prison escapes. This is attributed to his repeated escapes being an embarrassment to the state of Texas.
  • Docudrama
  • Double Standard: Abuse, Female on Male: Averted: Stories of women committing Domestic Abuse against their partners are treated just as seriously as stories of abusive men.
  • Driven to Suicide: Web of Lies features the stories of Megan Meier, Amanda Todd, and Rehtaeh Parsons, all of whom took their own lives due to online bullying.
  • Empathy Doll Shot: Deadly Women often has a shot of a dropped children's toy in cases involving child abuse.
  • Fair Cop:
    • Michelle Ward, criminal psychologist and host of Stalked: Someone's Watching, is perhaps the most prominent example on ID.
    • Candace DeLong, former FBI profiler and host of Deadly Women, also qualifies.
  • Fake American / Fake Brit etc.:
    • Deadly Women and Behind Mansion Walls are produced in Australia, and while some of the actors are able to do American, Canadian, British etc. dialects rather well, others are less successful.
    • Although most cases profiled are from the English-speaking world, there have been some profiled that took place in France, Mexico or other non-English-speaking countries. Rather than find actors who could speak French, Spanish etc. fluently and use subtitles to translate the dialogue, the show opts to have the actors speak English in very poor, stereotypical accents.
  • Freudian Excuse Is No Excuse: This trope frequently pops up in ID shows, especially Deadly Women. Many times, the killers are shown to have very messed-up backgrounds, but it is made clear that it doesn't absolve them of the harm they've done as a result of their crimes.
  • Genre Shift: Several. It debuted in 1996 as Discovery Civilization Network: The World History and Geography Channel. In 2003, it became Discovery Times, focusing on American history and shows about the American people and culture. It became Investigation Discovery in 2008.
  • Guilty Pleasures: invoked In 2012, began calling itself "Your Guilty Pleasure", and has created an official fan website called "ID Addicts".
  • Hollywood Old: Several shows, Scorned and Deadly Sins for example, depict people who were in their 40's (at least) in real life appearing to be in their mid-to late 20's or 30's. A specific example occurs in the Fear Thy Neighbor episode "Tunnel of Hate", where the actress portraying the victim is visibly much younger than her real life counterpart was at the time of the murder (as well as more photogenic).
  • Idiot Ball:
    • Steven Jay Russell is able to get out of prison by pretending to have AIDS, and altering his records to show he's HIV-positive. At no point did prison officials test him to see if he actually had AIDS.
    • When robbing a U-Haul store, Aurlieas McClarty guns down the owners, then realizes too late that with them dead there's no one to open the safe. This may be justified by the fact that he was schizophrenic and his mental state was deteriorating by this point.
    • After fraudulently securing a position on the town planning commission, Fred Brito falsely states he has been appointed by then-President Ronald Reagan to a high national office. This draws considerable media attention and quickly exposes him as a fraud and gets him arrested.
  • Mandatory Motherhood: A common motive for mothers to kill their own children as profiled on shows like Deadly Women. An extreme example is Marie Noe, who killed eight of her infant children over a two-decade period (two more died of natural causes) and had wanted to have her tubes tied but was told by her priest that this would be a mortal sin.
  • Killer Cop: A number of examples. The worst is probably Sidney Dorsey, who had his rival assassinated to prevent him from investigating his corruption as sheriff.
  • Network Decay: While starting out as a network that focused on crimes and investigations. Many fans have recently complained about the amount of shows that depict the same crime shown in another one of their shows, or how many times Dateline, 48 Hours, and 20/20 will rerun episodes. This is really shown with shows like Disappeared, which is suppose to be centered around unsolved missing people, having an episode on Madelyne O'Hare. They have also shifted towards docu-dramas involving mob wives. It's also devolving into self-parody, with numerous commercials ridiculing the way it supposedly turns ordinary people into amateur sleuths suspicious of everything and everyone. All of which dilutes the seriousness of the many Real Life crimes this channel profiles. Although shows like Surviving Evil, The Night That Didn't End and Impact of Murder which allow victims and/or their loved ones to explain how crime has affected them seem to be reversing this.
  • No Ending: Most of the cases featured on Disappeared have not been solved.
  • Offing the Offspring: Deadly Women has scads of episodes devoted to mothers who took the lives of their own children. The episode titles say it all: "Kill Their Own", "Sacrifice Their Blood", "Mothers Who Kill", "Bury Their Babies."
  • One-Woman Wail: Very common on Deadly Women, as it's often heard over scenes reenacting the aftermath of the titular Deadly Women's crimes. It's in the show's opening too.
  • Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping:
    • Another trope frequently seen in Deadly Women, as the series is filmed in Australia and features Australian actors attempting American, British, Canadian, etc. accents with varying degrees of success. Some are talented enough to pull it off; others don't even try. The actors' attempts at Southern United States dialect are often laughably bad.
    • Particularly egregious is that with the rare cases that take place in non-English-speaking countries, such as France or Mexico, the show will invariably have the actors speak English with very bad accents (see: the cases of the Pepin sisters and Juana Barraza) rather than cast an actor who can actually speak French, Spanish, etc.
  • Period Piece: A Crime to Remember and The 1980s/1990s: The Deadliest Decade are this obviously. Episodes featuring crimes that took place from Y2K back get varying amounts of this treatment with some overdoing it, though not always without suffering from Anachronism Stew (i.e. smartphones and or thin-client flat screen monitors in the late '90s) also.
  • Police Are Useless: An all too common occurrence in Fear Thy Neighbor, where police can't do anything because there's no proof or because they won't do anything because the officers dislike the accusers for being snitches and threaten them with arrest if they keep calling. This always backfires later when people take the law into their own hands because the police wouldn't protect them, and said annoyed officers are almost always the first on the scene to take them in.
    • To be fair, however, the contenders in these cases often as not have a tendency to be Too Dumb to Live by either not getting the police involved at the first instance that things start to escalate into dangerous territory, not gathering evidence (video recordings, for instance) of behavior that would result in an arrest, and/or refusing to press charges when the police are literally on their doorstep asking them if they would like to do so.
  • Posthumous Narration: Stolen Voices, Buried Secrets (I Was Murdered) and Betrayed are narrated this way. The opening narration for Grave Mysteries also uses this trope.
  • Prison Break: I Almost Got Away With It often profiles prison escapes, though in several cases the escapee is recaptured within days.
  • Rhetorical Request Blunder: Penny Boudreau's boyfriend was annoyed at her constantly arguing with her daughter and told her "Either she goes, or I go." She took this to mean that she should kill her and strangled her daughter to death.
  • Stock Footage: Recreations filmed for one of their original series may reappear in another in bits and pieces.
  • Symbol Swearing: Who The (Bleep) Did I Marry? uses this in its title card, but transcribes it as Bleep in all its advertising.
  • Title Drop: Deadly Women features a twofer for this trope. The opening and ending narrations for each episode refer to the subjects as "deadly women" and always include the name of the episode.
  • Toxic Friend Influence:
    • William van Poyck was sent to prison for robbing a house under pressure from a friend, and later landed on death row when he tried to free another friend from prison, which resulted in the death of a guard.
    • Timothy Fletcher and Doni Brown broke out of prison and murdered Fletcher's step-grandmother in a robbery. Afterwards they each claimed to be a reluctant follower and blamed the other for escalating their crime spree.
  • True Crime
  • Unholy Matrimony: The main theme of Wicked Attraction, though non-romantic partnerships are also profiled.
  • Unreliable Narrator: Con man Fred Brito claimed to have impersonated a symphony conductor and to have conducted a successful performance, but according to one journalist it's extremely doubtful this ever happened, which resulted in later airings of this episode removing that part.
  • Welcome to the Big City: The show Dead on Arrival centered on victims who were killed shortly after moving to a large city for the first time.
  • Wham Line: From "The Sick Boy" episode of Web of Lies: " Lacey has a truthfulness issue."
