Season 1 - Incredible journalism, hooked from the beginning.
Season 2 - Shines light on confessions, pressures from law enforcement. I can understand both sides - why the police want to find the killer, why they use the tactics they use, as well as why after hours of a stressful situation Jason would just say what he needed to do make it stop.
This story is told very well. What i take from it is how many women are murdered by men, are never identified or their bodies never found?

All this shows is how easy it is to murder women and no one ever even know? How about a bit of feminist analysis here about the way wome... more
