The Wonderland Massacre & the Secret History of Hollywood

This started strong.. the telling of the murders and circumstances, crime scene photos, etc.. all very intriguing.

The "mystery" is played out well. Detailed and interesting kept me very interested for the first episode and retained interest for the most part during the second episode.

Unfortunately, in episode 3 Scott Thorson is introduced and that seemed to be the death bell tolling for this doc.... it "killed" it. The story evolved from "what happened" to "what happened to Scott" - as Scott tells it, which may or may not be truth, or "embellished".

Episode four is a complete waste of time... just speculation if the case will be reopened after 40 years... and basically an homage to Scott Thorson himself.

Truth is all the "meat" or substance in these four episodes is in the first two (Mostly ep 1).. the last two episodes were just streeeeetching for content.
