The Hunt for the Zodiac Killer

This is one of the better History Channels Investigative shows although it drags at various parts with too many flashbacks and reviews. It seems to connect cases across jurisdictions that apparently had not been done before. The "solving" of the Z360 code looks interesting but is not accepted by other experts so far. Whether anything they raise truly takes a step towards solving the killings will only be proved if a case is ever brought or something fully conclusive.

Dragged on for way too long didnt need to be 220 minutes I just barely managed to finish the 2nd episode and i can't go on had to quit because I was falling asleep at how boring this is they don't shut up about the code trying to decipher it heres a clue you morons if it hasnt been deciphered since the 60s its more than likely bs

This entire series could have been easily condensed into an hour and a half long documentary, but the editing makes it so they have so much "filler time" riddled with people repeating themselves over and and over again, rehashing the same information, with all the stereotypical tropes of dramatic reveals with instrument hits in the most basic "discoveries". lt started out interesting, and l watched to the end out of curiosity, but the end was so extremely dis-satisfying. Many scenes also feel dramatized or setup because of the way they shot everything, and there just HAPPENS to always be a camera recording for breakthroughs. lt's super maddening and makes the series feel so artificial. ln the end, this documentary was okay, but such a HUGE waste of time.

So I was really enjoying this until it just stops... no solid ending, no info on the DNA, no follow up on the rest of the coded message or other murders... there was nothing I couldn't have found in a 2 second internet search. It was repetitive but that's almost all crime docuseries, as well as the over-acted surprise, probable scripting and reshooting scenes for effect. I was pretty PO'd for it to just quit without any great reveals. WTF History Channel? Did aliens snatch the rest of it?

Seems History Channel is getting more lax and trendy in their content rather than actual history and informative and this is a perfect example of that.

The show seems very promising at first, but as it continues on it seems more and more like things are being fabricated to add cinematic value. The cadaver part is very sketchy and seems completely set up (faked). Same with the bomb thing. Both seem set up and fake. The broken code is complete BS if you actually look at it and why wouldn't the "super computer" be used more than two or three times? Like I said, starts off strong and then it turns into a production. Nothing new really.
