Catching Killers

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.

An interesting documentary detailing a few different serial killer cases and the process of how they were solved. The doc comes entirely from the detectives point of view, which is refreshing. The interviews are relevant and the stories easy to follow.

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.

I enjoy crime shows, I really enjoy serial killer documentaries, and books and the like. However, when it comes to documenting the real life story it obviously gets more complicated.

The majority of serial killers, especially the most interesting ones, want notoriety, and this show does a phenomenal job in bypassing that caveat by focusing on the heroes of the story; the investigators. This isn't a series about the killers, giving them more attention, and inviting more people to pique their dormant narcissism. This is a series that celebrates those who brought them to justice by bringing in, seemingly, the whole team who captured them.

It's a fun watch, for sure.
