Occult Crimes

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.

I can't stand watching dubbed interviews and that's the whole thing!

Apparently "trash metal" is part of the Gothic subculture. Despite the fact that it's a true crime show, one can't help but chuckle at the idea that the people who put the show together sound like your concerned parents from the 1980s who watch too much Geraldo and have a really poor grasp on the words they are using. Don't listen to the trash metal and play Dungeons and Dragons, it'll turn you into a Satanic Gothic vampire! The cases themselves are pretty interesting and disturbing, but it's hard not to focus on how clueless the show's producers and narrator sound. I can't help but wonder if the staff were all homeschooled by fundy parents during the Satanic Panic.

Pro Tip: Goth/DnD do not equal occult. Sure sometimes there's some overlap...but 4 goth kids in a car jacking gone wrong is not an occult crime. This show covers money laundering, serial killers, sexual deviants, and crimes of passion, but it doesn't really have a lot of occult in it, over all. Some of the episodes try so hard to make the occult connection that it's almost laughable. Oh, they were playing an online role playing game as they talked about killing someone...that makes this an occult motivated crime. No. it doesn't. I honestly don't know why I kept watching this show, it was just...bad.

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.
