There is a lot of true crime series out there, I mean a lot. There’s also a ton of renovation, flip and sale series. But only one show combines them both, “Murder House Flip.” I was browsing the Roku service and stumbled across this neat original series. In “Murder House Flip” co-hosts Joelle Uzyel and Mikel Welch take viewers inside homes where horrific murders have taken place and are now occupied by new residents. First, we get a tour and the cases are discussed. Then the family leaves for a few days while the house is remodeled and redecorated. The goal is to help the homeowner to see the place as their home, not a murder house, but let’s be honest, who could forget something like that? The first season includes the homes of seven killers. And sometimes, the show makes grizzly discoveries on camera, like in season one episode eight, while remodeling the bathroom of the what is the
