The Hunt for the Zodiac Killer

Over edited, over dramatized history channel pap. These guys take themselves super seriously and the music is sooo dramatic, yet they never reveal anything new.

Oh and the Z340 code was cracked in december 2020 and I'm pretty sure one of the guys who actually cracked the code is in this show, yet he never gets any screen time lol.

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.

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.

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.

Some interesting content over-shadowed by the fluff to make this into a seasonal series. The super computer appears to be nothing more than a filler for each episode. The crypto uncoverings have all been thru human effort. I would take that computer back to Best Buy!!! Let's get to the final conclusion...
