City of Angels, City of Death

Growing up in the 60's and 70's in Los Angeles county, I remember vividly these serial murder cases. Seeing the actual detectives now, I'm impressed by what they did to bring these killers to justice, and the nightmares they endured. This series is a must for true crime buffs, and for anyone who grew up in Southern California.

You choose a time and a place. Then you conduct an investigation of all the major serial killers that choose that time and that place to do all of their crimes. This is an amazing chronological investigation of L. A. most notorious serial killers.

There was supposedly 20 serial killers active in LA between 1975 & 1985, yet this series wants us to believe that LA was a 100% GREAT Place To Live back then were it not for all these serial killers ??? What an insult to my intelligence !!! There is definitely something wrong with a city itself that has such a concentration of serial killers. These serial killings didn't happen in spite of Los Angeles but because of LA. A truly honest consideration of this topic would've asked : "What is wrong with a city for so much serial killing to happen there in just one decade ???? Sick People are a product of a Sick Society, and LA was apparently a VERY Sick Society back then. THAT was the REAL Story that this series neglected.

I'm a huge true crime viewer and although I knew a lot about this time period, the city, and the serial killers it was still so fun to watch. It was also nice to see the same detectives who helped solve these crimes talk about it. Highly recommend.

I avoided watching this initially because I was already so familiar with the different serial killers & crimes that this series covers. I'm happy that I finally took the time to watch because it was a truly intriguing & different take than anything I had ever watched before about the era of the 70's & 80's LA serial killers. They give examples of how a lot of these crimes crossed paths due to the fact that the same police were investigating all of these infamous criminals at the same time. The firsthand accounts from the police are emotional & raw, really giving you a feel for what it was like to investigate all of those coinciding crimes & live through that insanity. Overall it was a great series & I highly recommend it to anyone that enjoys true crime.
