Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Danny Blankenship I like many have always loved following and keeping up with real life unsolved murders especially that of serial killings. Of late one of the most famous is that of the "Long Island Serial Killer" and that's where this A@E series "The Killing Season" begins. The series follows two Documentarians Joshua and Rachel who investigative serial killings all around the U.S., as mentioned the series starts out on Long Island, only to branch out to Atalntic City, NJ as a group of bodies found in America's playground were similar to the ones in Long Island, NY with all being sex workers, escorts, and street walkers could it be the same killer? The series makes connection to different unsolved murders it features interviews with victims family members and police and theories are provided from private investigators and comments are giving on the web from many sources. Plus geography plays a part in the series as Josh and Rachel believe that the killer travels up and down the east coast and the interstate system is looked up at as a dumping ground of truck driving serial killers. And VICAP is spotlighted and the theory is giving that police around the country don't share information and police corruption is often the problem that many of these serial cases aren't solved. The series even branches out west to the New Mexico sand area to hunt for a killer after many bodies are found. Overall thought provoking and informative investigative series need I say more.

cicerobuck That review is from watching the first 6 episodes out of 8.This attracted me because of the reported similarities to the Making A Murderer series. Sadly, however interesting the topi at hand is, the approach and tone is pure sensationalism, the editing is one of reality TV character, and the humanity and emotional aspects are vastly lacking. In itself it could be OK, but as the "investgation" is heavily leaning on the grimmest possible path, you start to feel that the producers wanted to mix the last scene from "Seven" with TV reality storytelling. Oh, and it doesn't help that throughout, we learn that the investigation led by the journalists has actually mostly matched the ones led by police departments. Two episodes to go, but I can already safely say that this isn't something I'd recommend my family to watch, unlike "Making A Murderer". In the end, the results of the investigation might be interesting, but this was tastelessly done to say the least. I just wish I could follow this without feeling like I'm watching porn...

bushofghosts A bit over dramatic.In terms of investigative reporting the documentarians ask non-open ended questions (but not leading questions).Where there was information that had already been of no interest and disproved, the documentarians run with it and make it appear as a viable lead, untilllll they show why it was disproved.I would have preferred them sticking to facts of the case and not wild speculation, a lot of "what if's" and "could it have been possible". Falls just short of conspiracy theories in that they do say when their "leads" had been already disproved.It is interesting to have the "non experts" weigh in on the stories, fresh perspectives

meddlecore If you were knocked off the edge of your seat by The Jinx...or transfixed to the screen while binge watching Making A Murderer...you can thank Cropsey filmmaker Joshua Zeman, and his partner Rachel Mills, for their new documentary series: The Killing Season- which looks at the numerous cases of dead women (most being sex workers) and disposed bodies in and around Long Island, New York.At least, that's where it begins...Two episodes in and I'm already hooked.We follow along as we watch Zeman, Mills, and their team make huge discoveries, as they uncover clue after clue...making progress in weeks, where the police seem to have failed for years (though not without someone in the dept's help, at least).The filmmaking team have enlisted the help of a Herzogian Serial Killer Profiler, who sort of acts as the narrator, outlining the potential narrative as he sees it (and he's even German). I'm not sure I agree with everything he says, but f*ck if he doesn't keep things interesting with his far fetched and/or extremely intuitive theories (you be the judge).Their seems to be two things going on: on one hand, an investigation into what is either one insanely clever and prolific serial killer, or, alternatively, two different serial killers, with two different MO's, working the same stomping ground (or perhaps even hunting each other, as the crazy German guy implies). Hell there may even be more than that... While on the other, it acts to query why the police seem wholly unconcerned about investigating and solving these crimes. The filmmakers seem to imply they are about to break something huge, and of significance to more than just Long Island (a serial killing cabal, perhaps?)...I guess we'll see how it plays out as the series progresses. But, one thing is certain, the filmmakers have really managed to fashion the narrative as to leave you on the edge of your seat, and dying to know more, as the end of each episode rolls around.Awesome series from executive producer Alex Gibney, and filmmakers Joshua Zeman, and Rachel Mills, so far.A must see series, for sure.10 out of 10!!!
