Catching Killers

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
