Starts strong, turns very sketchy

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.

Waiting For More

They've done a pretty good job up until now hope it returns.

Along the same lines of History's Channels Investigative Shows

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.

Absolute trash.

They repeat what little content they have at least a dozen times, and have nothing new to present. Every tiny piece of circumstantial evidence known from before is presented like they found a smoking gun on a grassy knoll. Their "super computer" is somehow not in the cloud and also makes the same spin up sound as a hard disk from the 90s. The camera cannot stop moving, cutting and zooming to pointless dramatic sound effects. The 5 episodes could have been presented in about 10 minutes

Too much filler

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...
