Catching Killers

This is probably one of the worst homicide documentaries ever made. It very superficially touches upon different cases. The makers obviously decided to do some cherry picking in the case files in order to be able to tell a complex entertaining story in only 40 minutes. This way of working just leaves too many questions unanswered to ever become a decente in depth documentary. It does not do any justice to the victims and or perpetrators. The series aims at creating only entertainment build on top of dramatic events. That will probably enough for a lot of viewers, but is essentially a disgrace.

These were 4 great episodes of true crime! As told by the officers and people involved. They almost felt like a 'backstage all access pass'. Thoroughly enjoyable even if you're not a big true crime buff. Wonderful put together and timelined great.

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.

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.
