The Killing Season

A bit over dramatic.

In terms of investigative reporting the documentarians ask non-open ended questions (but not leading questions).

Where there was information that had already been of no interest and disproved, the documentarians run with it and make it appear as a viable lead, untilllll they show why it was disproved.

I would have preferred them sticking to facts of the case and not wild speculation, a lot of "what if's" and "could it have been possible". Falls just short of conspiracy theories in that they do say when their "leads" had been already disproved.

It is interesting to have the "non experts" weigh in on the stories, fresh perspectives

I give them kudos for bringing to light the many unsolved murders that seem to be all but forgotten by law enforcement, but their investigation instincts are novice at best and they jump on leads of no apparent connections.

Amazing documentary that totally went under the radar!! It's one of the greatests true crime documentaries I've ever seen!

While investigating the "west mesa" killer, Josh and Rachel consult amateur profiler Peter Brendt. He says (paraphrasing) "when in the past 500 years has a serial killer buried his bodies so close to home? The record was Ted Bundy at 120 miles"... have you ever heard of John Wayne Gacy (killer clown)? He buried 40 boys under the floorboards of his basement. Perhaps you may have heard of Anthony Sowell (Cleveland Strangler), who lived among dozens of corpses in his own house. Or Anthony's copycat Michael Madison. Or H. H. Holmes for god sake. I think Peter Brendt made some very good observations but this comment had me yelling at the TV. They even mention Sowell and Madison with Brendt in the last episode but give no explanation to his comment from the previous episode.

Slow start, but once you get further into it and everything starts to unfold it's amazing very well investigated from the reporter's. AND TRULY AN ASTONISHING DATA FINISH. HOW MANY SERIAL KILLERS ARE THEY RIGHT NOW ACTIVE IN THE USA. FBI RESOURCES ALL TIED UP WITH TERRORISM.
