mriordanobannon's rating
This is just your average crime documentary TV show. It doesn't go much into details about the "occult" and several of the crimes have extremely loose connections to occult material/beliefs. That's not exactly a huge problem but it doesn't make the show shine.
What really pulls the narrations down, however, is the narrator and voice-overs. They continually mispronounce words such as Samhain, Nosferatu, macabre, and vampirism - words which at least one person on the production staff should have known or taken the 10 seconds involved to research. It really shows that those involved in the show didn't have a remarkable interest in its content, they were simply interested in producing a mediocre crime show with a gimmicky twist.
I do give them credit for looking at cases outside of the English speaking world and including a lot of non-English speakers in their interviews (which are translated into voice-overs which makes it almost impossible to hear the original speaker, so even though I speak some French I couldn't attest to how accurate the translations in those cases were). If not for this show, I doubt I would have ever heard of those cases.
