Across the 2000s, under the shimmering lights of Hollywood, a murderer lay in wait. Watching, waiting and stalking his young and beautiful female neighbors, Michael Gargiulo bided his time until his opportune moment arrived – while they were sleeping. Breaking into their safe havens - their homes - he butchered his victims and then moved to a new location in tinsel town to find his next target. more

Why does this series have to keep describing these victims based on how they look? Using words to always comment on whether or not a woman is pretty or attractive when she’s murdered is irrelevant. What difference does it make? Even the woman hosting keeps using phrases like “attractive woman.” Over and over and over again. I also think this host seemed very tacky when there was blood at the scene and she coaxes him to describe the smell. Come on lady, really?
Host sounds too robotic and the interviews sound too scripted
For instance, the host said she was going to “try and capture her thoughts while walking her dog” and then amid background sounds of cars passing recited a syntactically perfect “reflection” that was clearly constructed beforehand. Cheesy
Wanted to love it but stopping on episode two. The host is so annoying. Salacious, tantalizing and taunting rather than considerate, empathetic or informative. All the “mmmmms” while the interviewees are speaking can’t make up for the lack.
Interesting subject matter. WAY too many commercials. Host is ok.
