    Satisfying ending

    A satisfying ending to the series, I appreciate the decision to focus on the victims perceptions of the trial rather than the killer. Great documentary style, good use of archival footage and interviews.

    The end of the Road.

    The Police have collated their information, and have all the jigsaw pieces, now they just need to catch their man.

    I thought this was a very interesting, disturbing final episode, we get to see Ramirez, and as is so often the case the bogeyman looks different to what I had expected, they were right about those eyes though.

    The involvement of the Police is fascinating, there seemed to have been so many conflicts between various divisions, did those hinder the case?

    One thing that struck me through the series, and more so in this final episode, what an incredibly impressive person Anastasia is, her attitude, her total refusal to be defined as a victim, incredible.

    Very interesting, 9/10.

    Pretty decent documentary. The saddest part of all documentaries about murders that I've seen, that they've struggled in childhood or adulthood. Of course, I'm not going to say they're victims after killing dozens of innocent people. But when you look in their past, parents were really brutal, they've beaten their childs,molested them, tortured and that's how murders are created. When you look at "Night Stalker", he looks better than average guy, he doesn't look creepy or ugly, only thing you can say something is his eyes, but that's irrelevant. You think, he could be a normal guy with a bright future, only if he had decent parents. I've missed in this documentary something about psichology. I would like to know more about when everything started, what issues he had, maybe with animals, or something like that. It's really hard to watch this documentary and see that guy made over 45 crimes. It's unbelievable to understand how victims were asking for help, begging not to kill them, it's so hard to think about family, how they feel, about childs that were molested, awful, really awful feeling.

      One of the jurors was sadly murdered during the trial. Luckily it was not a fan of Ramirez, but due to a domestic violence situation.
