Very Scary People

Great selector stories plus excellent production values. This is a very enjoyable series. Donny Wahlberg's role is limited to brief introduction and conclusion, but he does a credible job.

I'm probably like most people nowadays and love a good Serial Killer documentary and Donnie Wahlberg in my opinion is a great choice for narrator. He has that voice and presence to make the show appealing. That hallway that he is standing in when he speaks reminds me of the same hallway or similar looking as the one from Saw 2 that he stared in.

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.

Actor Donnie Wahlberg (Blue Bloods) introduces a summary of each episode and provides us with the name and preferred M.O. (modus operandi) of some of the most infamous serial killers and serial rapists in the United States. Each episode provides the background story of these evil criminals from their early childhood through to their eventual arrest and/or the current status of an elusive killer such as in the case of the Zodiac Killer which remains unsolved some six decades later.

Each entire episode stands on its own merit as a first rate documentary absent of any unwarranted and unnecessary sensationalism, and sticks to the facts of the case with intermiitent video of the actual criminal(s) during their arrests and/or while in court proceedings during their trials.

If you are a fan of documentaries that report on serial killers and serial rapists like many average and well adjusted normal people are, then you will be intrigued by the detail provided into the lives of these heinous villains who are most disturbed and cunning.

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.
