A la caza del asesino

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.

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.

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.

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.

The series isn't bad if all you're looking for is the Reader's Digest condensed versions of the cases being profiled. The actual detectives on these cases lend a good deal of credibility and eliminate the need for a schmaltzy narration. But the sound effects editing needs to be dialed way back. It really isn't necessary to punctuate every sentence uttered with a rumbling whoosh or a highly-reverberated tribal drum, or a shrieking string crescendo. These sonic burps only serve to cheapen any documentary value and drag the series into the horror B-picture territory.
