First, the journalist has a very annoying cockney accent and is difficult to understand, and they tend to mispronounce and also misrepresent an awful lot of really well-known information. Ted Bundy's name was the first thing they get wrong but it doesn't end there. While they do visit some interesting locations, said interesting locations are shot in black and white using an unsteady handy cam making it nearly impossible to watch. It's sort of pieced together and there's all these DISGUSTING UPSHOTS OF THAT WOMAN'S NOSE AND EYEBALLS in every single episode. Every 5 minutes, I find myself with a screen full of sepia tone negative rolling eyeball for absolutely way under zero reason. I'd LOVE to know the propensity for that to happen in the first place. All the fun places I'd want to visit which I watched this series to see ended up being filmed in "impossible to see unsteady hand cam Go Pro" kind of filming with weird, random closeups of the journalist's nose and eyeballs. WHO FILMED THAT MESS, ANYWAY? And I'd also like to know WHY those eyeball and nose shots didn't end up on the cutting room floor? I mean, really bad filming. You do get to see some interesting people, some interesting places (when you can actually view them) and it's good for background noise. The ex-cop medium was a nice touch and reasonably talented. If you like serial killers and can handle weird eyeball close ups and nasal upshots via Go Pro, then you might enjoy this.
