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.

I am currently watching Very Scary People and am up to the Coed Killer, Season 2. I am overall satisfied by the subject matter and am learning new things from the episodes. I actually lived about a mile from John Gacy in the 1970's while he was doing his evil deeds...I have just one question: Why did the producers leave out the story of Ted Bundy? I am not a serial killer fanatic, nor a crazed groupie, but Ted Bundy certainly was one of the scariest people in the world while alive, and is, in my opinion, the prototype from which the terms serial killer originated. If you are going to cover the history of these types of criminals, why leave out one of the most notorious, evil, and, to me, fascinating serial killers of all time. Just curious...

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.

I'm probably like most people nowadays and love a good Serial Killer documentary and Donnie Wahlberg in my opinion is a great choice for narrator. He has that voice and presence to make the show appealing. That hallway that he is standing in when he speaks reminds me of the same hallway or similar looking as the one from Saw 2 that he stared in.
