THE FIRST 48 PRESENTS CRITICAL MINUTES looks back at some of the most unforgettable moments in the series' history.

After a 3.5-month break, THE FIRST 48 PRESENTS CRITICAL MINUTES returned with new episodes on Thursday, April 10, 2025 at 9pm ET/PT on A&E. The mid-season premiere, "In the Name of Love 2," revisits three cases from The First 48 archive that expose the dark and deadly side of love. First, love turns lethal when a Tulsa couple's argument escalates to double murder. Then, investigators discover jealousy may be the motive behind a man's stabbing death. And finally, a love triangle ends in murder.
