City Confiential is an American documentary television show on the A&E Network, which singles out a community during each episode and investigates a crime that occurred there. Rather than being a straighforward procedural, the show begins by focusing on the history and spirit of the city chosen. Often, the crime and persons involved highlight a unique feature of that community. Additionally, the show analyzes not only the crime itself, but also the impact which the crime, ensuing investigation and legal proceedings, had on the community at large.
