American Monster

This is definitely one of my favourite series on the ID channel. The home videos is what really drives it home for me. I haven't seen any new episodes in a long time though or any promotions for a new season so I'm getting a little nervous it might not stick around. If you love true crime then you'll like this series.

I have watched a few episodes and it just drags on and on. Get to the point! I just watched one episode and it was 28 minutes in, before they even talked about a crime being committed. The first half was just introducing the members of the family. Lots of fast forwarding on this one.

One of the best season 1-6, for some reason season 7 is falling flat. Prior years, I was engaged, the story and the telling were riveting. Not sure what has changed, but, change it back.

I love this series and am glad that it has managed to stay on for a while now. However, this is one of those series where the narrator was the icing on the cake. For me, changing the narrator this past season really negatively impacted the show. It's similar to how I would feel if they changed the narrator on the series Snapped from the Oxygen channel. I'm not sure what the reasons are behind it but if it's possible to get the original narrator back I really wish you would.

Does Richard Kuklinski or his daughter deserve more publicity than his victims? No, but that's what happens. If you think you have it tough, try being a murder victim daughter or son. Sick, distorted values. The fact that his daughter participates clearly shows how removed she is from the reality of her father's actions. She might as well spit in their faces.
