Very Scary People

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.

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

Great, informative, and detailed. This series will leave you satisfied that every angle of the crime has been portrayed.

Very Scary People also shines new light on sometimes decades old stories and makes them feel new and intriguing.

As a bonus, many episodes are 2- part, 2 hour examinations of the subject.

Adding greatly to the texture of the production of Very Scary People is host Donnie Walhberg. Mr. Walhlberg is EXCELLENT! He has the perfect tone for this kind of show and he perfectly sets the stage for the stories.

One of the very best true crime series and the very best host , Donnie Wahlberg.

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.

Wahlberg is a good host and the show is well produced. They have a lot of audio and sometimes video of the killers which is a big plus. They have a lot of the principals of the case talking about it which is good.

The bad is bad though. There are always people who had literally nothing to do with the case talking abotu it as if they did - including the annoying "criminal psychologists" who give us insight us dumb people would never get.

"He had a bad childhood and this brought about his inclinations to kill people as an adult."

Really? We would have never had gotten that. A lot of these people talking about the cases were most likely given the fact to read just before they taped their "interview." Most of these people weren't even born when the crimes happened.

Also the episodes are stretched to two episodes each which means you get tons of repetition. You even get the "interviewees" saying the same thing multiple times - it's annoying.

Overall the show is done well but do not forget, they did a show on Richard Klukinski, who was charged with 5 murders that we know of. It's possible he did another one or two maybe. But this guy, after he was caught, was making up so much baloney and they try to pass it off here as fact.

In his book he was supposedly running into rapists every other day and killing them. He was involved in road rage every other day and killing these people. All of these "crimes" he takes credit for were investigated and they could never find any evidence of any of them. NOT ONE. He claims he killed Hoffa. Of course it isn't true.

But this show passes it off as fact. There was one guy who said he claims he did over a hundred murders but there is no proof. That's all there was to show he was lying his butt off. The show itself pretends he did commit over a hundred murders and this is unethical and bad TV. I hate this. If you want your show to be respected, don't pass off fake information as fact. The guy killed 5 people and that's probably all there was. But for the purposes of this show they claim over a hundred. So it makes you wonder how many other episodes have incorrect or made up info.
