THE ANNOYING TYPING AND MUSIC they used throughout!!
Oh my gosh, it was HORRIBLE!! If it was just the typing, I could deal with it, but then they would play this jazzy/piano music that would increase in volume like 30% in between shots, and then it'd return to normal volume. It drove me NUTS! I was SO glad to see the other reviews for this documentary that pointed this annoyance out, I'm not alone! Lol. Anyways, on to the actual documentary.
The documentary is very good. Stories are straight from the serial killers themselves along with the police and others that were involved with the case. Overall, each episode was really informative and interesting. The only episode that bothers me was episode 3, but that is only because I've ALWAYS had issues with Henry Lee Lucas's case. How those Texas Rangers could be taken for fools by that moron still boggles my mind. It was so obvious that Lucas couldn't have killed all those people all over the country. He was definitely a serial killer, I don't deny that. I do, though, deny the claim that he killed 3,000 people. Rarely do serial killers change their M. O and their victim type. Lucas was claiming he shot an elderly woman in one state, then raped and strangled a teenager in another state 1000 miles away the next day. It was RIDICULOUS! It bothers me so much because he claimed murders that he couldn't have done, which means the REAL murderer got away completely free, and could do it again. Absolutely infuriating! Lazy, lazy police work. This documentary doesn't go into too much detail, but there is a documentary that does point out the ridiculousness of Lucas's "cases", I think it's on Netflix?
Regardless of my rant, this is a great series with A LOT of information and interviews with the killers themselves and the police who caught them. It's definitely worth of watching for anyone like myself who LOVES studying/watching serial killers.
Enjoy!!
