It's well done as with all Evil Among Us entries, it's smart, entertaining and really well presented. Great historical news clips, intriguing first hand witnesses and set at a pace that holds your attention Entertaining and informative Pretty much everything I look for in true crime productios I look forward to future Tubi original "Evil Among Us" features on classic serial offender cases. With that said and as good as it is , it's Tristen Engels that really shines. Thoughtful, well informed and with a natural likeability she is a stand out contributor. I look forward to her in every release of Evil Among Us, she has great insight into the twisted criminal mind.
The idea that a bunch of blue-haired podcasters reading someone else's script would lend some credence to the story of atrocious doings, as if the story didn't have enough credibility in and of itself, is insulting and demeaning to the memories of those to whom these things were perpetrated upon.
Add to that the silky deep voiced narrator who can't find enough work narrating the exciting trailers of third rate thrillers and the "gotcha" soundtrack and you've got a substandard slice of tripe pre-flavored for an audience of bon-bon double wides.
Perhaps it would have been more palatable had they stuck to actual interviews with actual participants. It's obvious that some of these script readers were chosen for the crack in their voice so that we should experience the palp of the events of which they had no part of.
Edited down to half the runtime with all the fake crap removed might have given some integrity to a worthy story. As it is, not worth the time.
