There are many glaring mistakes and poor production in just the first episode alone. The use of a computer voice doesn't inspire any credibility. The second issue is repeated inability to correctly identify The Church of Jesus Chris of Latter Day Saints calling it The Church of Latter Day Saints, The Church of Mormon. If the maker of this series makes these glaring mistakes it brings into question any credibility.
A badly researched series that focuses on blowing up stereotypes of subcultures and using religious fanaticism rather than psychological evaluation to emphasise the wrongness of the criminals involved.
Not only is the information regarding goth, roleplaying, and other subcultures is dismal (hint: most people in these groups are perfectly harmless, responsible adults), but the utter lack of research into the terms is kind of hilarious.
Dear narrator, Samhain is pronounced SOW-en, not SAM-hayn. Nosferatu is pronounced Nos-fer-AH-too, not Nos-FER-ah-too. Macabre is pronounced ma-CAHB, not ma-CAH-bruh.
Nothing says 'I have on idea what I'm talking about' like not knowing how to say simple terms.
Other than that, it follows the true crime show format, and the stories are interesting. It's just presented by hopelessly clueless people.

The show appears not to be American. Which i enjoyed because serial killers and cults presented were mostly new to me
Though the occult ties are loose in some cases and not always well researched, some could be considered down right insulting to the cultures and subcultures discussed. The way certain words are pronounced at time by the narrator and translator is certainly quirky to put it nicely. But the most bothersome thing to me is in the Chicago Ripper episode the black victim survivor either has the worst stage makeup ever or is a white woman in black face. Its offensive.
