The Fox Hollow Murders: Playground of a Serial Killer

I love true-crime dramas and documentaries but this one was so boring, I just couldn't watch more than one episode. I had seen this story years ago on some other show and found it really fascinating. So I was anxious to watch this. But I could see fairly quickly that this was not for me. So little information about what actually happened. Just law enforcement and prosecutors rehashing what they did and, more importantly, didn't do at the time. I found myself fighting to stay awake. So boring!

I tried to watch the second episode but was creeped out by the weird dude that now owns the house. Why would you give him the attention he is so desperately seeking?

Bounces from wall to wall, from hearsay to hearsay, from one version of the truth to another with the main subject witness / suspect being obviously mentally compromised who at times seems to think it's all a big joke, at times lies and at times basically adds nothing to further the investigation or the story.

By the time you get to episode 4 you realise you've been sold a dud and that it's all probably just a show that's put on for television and has very little to do with reality.

Even if you have time to waste you'd probably be better off reading about this online instead of having to sit through some of the most non credible, semi scripted doco footage ever brought to screen.

If you'd like to see an in-depth series concentrating on a serial killer and his crimes.....keep looking. The actual content dealing with the killer and his crimes is limited. But you'll get great content like clips from low-rent "paranormal researcher" shows that have filmed at the house in question. Because, you know, some people totally talk to ghosts (collective eyeroll). Or if you'd like a lot of information on the people who own the house now, you are in luck. Find out all about the new owner, who happens to be named Robin Graves, because of course you care about that guy, right? Anyway, it isn't good.

This show is an interesting mix of factual information and woo-hoo nonsense. The parts of the program that covered actual factual events, the victims, their families, the killer(s), and the lack of engagement from law enforcement were interesting to any true crime fan. However, the show dips into alleged psychics, bad energy, ghosts, and whoo-hoo nonsense far too often. True crime does not mix well with this kind of nonsense and it throws off the throw of the show to the point I could not finish all the episodes and instead just fast-forwarded through the bull-slingers and their monetized nonsense. This includes the new owner of the property and the weirdos who pretend they are ghost hunting. I recommend you do the same.

This series is a total waste of time. It starts off reasonably well but then it drags on and on and on. It is painfully slow and leads nowhere. I do not see the point of this series ever being made. This could've been a two hour documentary at the most. It is so slow that it seems like it is moving in real time. It provides no useful or new information as to the motive behind the killings and no explanation for all of the open questions regarding the case. It's saving grace that it does provide a view of how discriminated against the gay community was in Indianapolis those days and how apparently, the local authorities did not follow up on many open questions and loose ends. Don't waste your time on this series.
