you saw making a murderer, you loved it, you're a true crime fiend cause humans are fucked up and for some reason we're drawn to shit like this, and you want more of it.

here you go

you just gotta know one thing going into it, it's indie. it's A&E. which means it's unprofessional as hell, sometimes to the point where it's funny. it's just two people runnin around with cameras tryna piece shit together. theres some chainsmoking german guy on skype acting as the serial killer expert. the main info they're going on are online amateur detective sites. so theres lot's of grasping on straws and even some meta moments when they acknowledge they're probably chasing after a hoax or baseless rumors. everything is made overdramatic as hell by infusing sound effects after every other sentence and cutting to unrelated images.

and i ate this shit up in one day

this show starts with a single serial killer case and somehow quickly expands to exposing 2, 3, 4 and eventually a nationwide epidemic of unsolved murders of sexworkers. it gets so out of hand that they pretty much end up throwing out the entire concept of the show upon realization that this is happening everywhere. and no one really seems to care. another dead sexworker to throw on the pile and forget about.

theres even one moment where the daughter of one of the victims explains that the police wouldn't allow her family to file a missing persons report on her deceased mother because she was connected to sexwork and drugs, so they had to report her car missing instead in hopes of finding her.

so despite all the drawbacks i mentioned earlier, which were actually a plus for me as they added onto the charm of the show, this is a very important docu series that sheds light on a subject we don't hear nearly enough about.

easy and engaging watch. well shot, with some great standout drone footage.
