    Very Good Show

    Really solid show. A lot of the other crime shows don't always cover all the aspects which I want to know about. What I like about the show is that it covers basically everything, from childhood and earlier development to sentencing or death. I like the fact that they give 2 episodes for each killer which assists in the episodes having enough time to go through most of the facts.

    I'm sure they'll get around to........

    Carl Eugene Watts, Wayne Williams, Samuel Little, Henry Louis Wallace, Lorenzo Gillard, Maury Travis, Eddie Lee Mosley, John Floyd Thomas, Jake Bird, Roberta Elder, Chester Turner.

    Watts, dubbed by the press as the "Sunday Morning Slasher," Watts was assumed to be experiencing delusion after being diagnosed with Meningitis. When he was younger, he used to hunt rabbits and stalk his female classmates, then he committed his first murder at 15 years old. According to AP, he killed for a span of eight years claiming the lives of 14 to 100 women.

    In 1981, Williams was arrested for the murders of two adult men. However, during his trial, prosecutors suggested he was also behind a string of 22 murders of children in Atlanta. Though he maintained his innocence, forensic evidence from his home and vehicle connected him to several victims. He was sentenced to life in prison, though many people still believe he is innocent.

    Little is known as the most prolific serial killer not just because of his crimes but because he confessed to a large number of unsolved murders just two years before he died. Little had been killing since the 50s but was sentenced for good in 2014 for killing three women in the 80s. His DNA was then connected to another string of strangulations. In an interview with a Texas Ranger, he confessed to unsolved killings in over a dozen states bringing the total up to 93 people dead.

    If they are going to profile serial killers, they should not let silly criteria such as race, gender, age of the victims filter their profiles.

    Repetitive...

    Each 2 episode segment could be condensed down and combined to about 30 minutes total.

    Too repetitive

    I've watched & somewhat enjoyed the series until season 3's Amityville episodes but the repetitiveness has become too much to endure. The same photos, the same interviews looped, spliced, & played over & over again. Between the shows repetitiveness & the ridiculous commercial breaks, it's off my watch list & DVR record schedule.

    Missing

    I am currently watching Very Scary People and am up to the Coed Killer, Season 2. I am overall satisfied by the subject matter and am learning new things from the episodes. I actually lived about a mile from John Gacy in the 1970's while he was doing his evil deeds...I have just one question: Why did the producers leave out the story of Ted Bundy? I am not a serial killer fanatic, nor a crazed groupie, but Ted Bundy certainly was one of the scariest people in the world while alive, and is, in my opinion, the prototype from which the terms serial killer originated. If you are going to cover the history of these types of criminals, why leave out one of the most notorious, evil, and, to me, fascinating serial killers of all time. Just curious...
