Featured review
This show majors on interviewing various people associated with the crimes, but minors on the details. Way too many filler bits, like a woman walking along a path (that they show multiple times in the same episode - boring) or scenery they make no effort to link to the crimes. Was that fence where they found a victim? Is it merely more filler? Plus many of the lead "experts" speak in a monotone, totally flat, with nothing in the background except light. It would have been nice with a little dressing up of the set, like do it in an interesting pub, or some effort made to at least coach the experts on how to add emotion to their performance. What a snore. I did appreciate that they showed childhood photos of some of the subjects that I had not seen before. Like Joanna Dennehy. It must be a popular show since there are so many seasons, but I wouldn't sit down and watch it for entertainment.
