Catching Killers

The cased are interesting but every investigator tells their story in an extremely dramatic fashion and it all feels very overdone and almost insulting to the watcher. And it wouldn't be necessary at all.

Crime documentary that doesn't waste it's time on people's backstory or long boring scenic shots. Just the case and nothing else. Waiting for more! This is how a crime documentary should be done.

I liked it. The pacing was a little slow, but It's more focused on the police work involved in catching the killers & the victims rather than the killers themselves which i think is a nice change from the majority of these types of shows which more often than not seem to glorify the monsters instead. As for the episodes themselves, i think they showcase good police work in the first 2 episodes where you can see just how hard the detectives involved worked & are still traumatically effected by everything they had to go through to get the person responsible vs. Bad police work in the last 2 where you keep asking yourself how they all still had/have jobs after they botched the case so bad & still take no responsibility for any of the many obvious mistakes they made.

Very interesting retelling of how police capture serial killers for three separate cases. My favourite story was the final episode on the happy-faced killer. Seemed like some police bumbling to me.

Enough with the detectives personal lives and stories. I wanna hear about the case not the detectives, that's not relevant.

Drags the series on more than it needs to. And the horrendous editing, I don't wanna see the people setting up the set. Why is this a trend in documentary films like this.
