I was looking forward a lot to this 4 part documentary series - the neo noir looks and the promise of a whiff of the 80ies Los Angeles lifestyle seemed quite intriguing.
I was prepared for a wild ride - what I got was a long drive through a tunnel. Not looking left, not looking right, repetitive.
The two detectives take us from crime scene to crime scene, location, victims, photos of blood and bodies, some evidence. In between, generic "LA skyline at night" shots, cars driving through dark streets. Sheer luck, not great police work, bring us out of the tunnel to the light.
Everything is very linear and from one perspective: the detectives' rather monotonous, often frustrating work. There is not a glimpse into the killer's mind: how did he become a monster, what motivated him, how did he chose his victims, was he afraid of getting caught or did he feel untouchable?
I'll rad the Wikipedia article about the case now for a probably much more thrilling true crime experience.

Even better than watching "Heat" on DVD. If you put this pilot on your 32'' plasma, you are seriously looking at this pilot.
