    Great Series

    Wow! What a great series. Hearing from the detectives who solved the cases gave an amazing insight into the beginnings of modern techniques used to catch serial killers as well as the challenges they faced. I hope this series continues.

    Very Interesting

    I really liked this show but it was a bit maddening that EVERY episode the interviewees were repeated multiple times! We are not stupid and twice is enough to say something!

    The audience treated as imbecilic and "needed to hear same quotes/comments multiple times!" 😕

    Would have been great if they had actually included ALL of the 20 serial killers and not just a handful.

    But, I give kudos to law enforcement who resolved to crack the cases!

    Makes me wonder how many other cities delt with multiple serial killers in the 80s!?

    The '70s-80s were awash with them- what the hell was going on!?

    City of Angels ???

    There was supposedly 20 serial killers active in LA between 1975 & 1985, yet this series wants us to believe that LA was a 100% GREAT Place To Live back then were it not for all these serial killers ??? What an insult to my intelligence !!! There is definitely something wrong with a city itself that has such a concentration of serial killers. These serial killings didn't happen in spite of Los Angeles but because of LA. A truly honest consideration of this topic would've asked : "What is wrong with a city for so much serial killing to happen there in just one decade ???? Sick People are a product of a Sick Society, and LA was apparently a VERY Sick Society back then. THAT was the REAL Story that this series neglected.

    Excellent series

    I avoided watching this initially because I was already so familiar with the different serial killers & crimes that this series covers. I'm happy that I finally took the time to watch because it was a truly intriguing & different take than anything I had ever watched before about the era of the 70's & 80's LA serial killers. They give examples of how a lot of these crimes crossed paths due to the fact that the same police were investigating all of these infamous criminals at the same time. The firsthand accounts from the police are emotional & raw, really giving you a feel for what it was like to investigate all of those coinciding crimes & live through that insanity. Overall it was a great series & I highly recommend it to anyone that enjoys true crime.

    A different serial killers perspective

    You choose a time and a place. Then you conduct an investigation of all the major serial killers that choose that time and that place to do all of their crimes. This is an amazing chronological investigation of L. A. most notorious serial killers.
