Very Scary People

Great selector stories plus excellent production values. This is a very enjoyable series. Donny Wahlberg's role is limited to brief introduction and conclusion, but he does a credible job.

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.

Actor Donnie Wahlberg (Blue Bloods) introduces a summary of each episode and provides us with the name and preferred M.O. (modus operandi) of some of the most infamous serial killers and serial rapists in the United States. Each episode provides the background story of these evil criminals from their early childhood through to their eventual arrest and/or the current status of an elusive killer such as in the case of the Zodiac Killer which remains unsolved some six decades later.

Each entire episode stands on its own merit as a first rate documentary absent of any unwarranted and unnecessary sensationalism, and sticks to the facts of the case with intermiitent video of the actual criminal(s) during their arrests and/or while in court proceedings during their trials.

If you are a fan of documentaries that report on serial killers and serial rapists like many average and well adjusted normal people are, then you will be intrigued by the detail provided into the lives of these heinous villains who are most disturbed and cunning.

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.

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