I hate to even say this, but I liked this show very much. It was well done and amusing. Fully expected to hate it, this is NOT something I would normally watch. This is teen TV. I tried one episode out of sheer boredom and got hooked - binged the whole thing, and it was fantastic. Jen Ortega is absolutely delicious, very cute and very funny, charming captivating little beauty. The story Tim Burton rolls along just at a fine pace, by a Master Director. I enjoyed every moment. Jen Ortega's dance sequence is a thing of beauty, but the story is just fine by itself. You will enjoy this series even if you think it's aimed at a teen audience.
No, don't waste your time. This is a "Canadian" production - no sense of self awareness, or pace, or time. Just a bunch of vignettes signifying nothing. It's a great story, but Canadians simply don't know how to produce these things - stuffed with pointless filler from people who find themselves all too amusing or interesting. I recommend the book "Invisible Darkness" by Stephen Somebody - much better, much superior to this garbage. They called themselves "KH" LOVEs "PB" OR PB LOVES KH and it just goes on and on with superfluous nonsense. The story itself is very interesting for fans of true crimes - this production is not.
Amateurish student-type production with one competent actor - Gary Cole. Story by numbers and lame dialogue, no attempt to build tension or suspense. IOW: A Canadian production.
You can always tell a Canadian production because they needlessly insert a bunch of female characters to crack the case that didn't exist in real life. Never fails. IF you truly have nothing better to do with your time like de-worm the cat, and you're unfamiliar with this story, then I suppose it's worth a watch.
Dateline or Fifth Estate or the actual Police interview are much more interesting - telling of the true events do not require embellishment. Take a pass on this.
