Catching Killers

We see these stories being told from the perspective of the investigators and we get some insight in how they deal with the horrible stuff they have to deal with while doing their investigations.

There's not a whole lot of filler, which can be considered a good thing.

Sometimes it felt a bit overly dramatic, while still staying on the surface of the emotions that are shown.. To me that felt a bit cheap by the creators.. I wanted to know more about these investigators and how they experienced it besides seeing that single tear, but it never quite went there. A missed opportunity.

Perhaps this documentary didn't entirely know what it ultimately wanted to be or achieve.

What we end up with is reasonably interesting for what it is, but at the end of the day, rather forgettable.

6,5/10, rounding up to a 7.

Very interesting retelling of how police capture serial killers for three separate cases. My favourite story was the final episode on the happy-faced killer. Seemed like some police bumbling to me.

Enough with the detectives personal lives and stories. I wanna hear about the case not the detectives, that's not relevant.

Drags the series on more than it needs to. And the horrendous editing, I don't wanna see the people setting up the set. Why is this a trend in documentary films like this.

These were 4 great episodes of true crime! As told by the officers and people involved. They almost felt like a 'backstage all access pass'. Thoroughly enjoyable even if you're not a big true crime buff. Wonderful put together and timelined great.

Crime documentary that doesn't waste it's time on people's backstory or long boring scenic shots. Just the case and nothing else. Waiting for more! This is how a crime documentary should be done.
