I really enjoy watching this show. Very interesting cases from all around the world. The way each story is told is excellent. The narrator, Fred Dinenage, is really good. His strong voice plus the music has a chilling effect. The explanations given by criminologist Elizabeth Yardley are very very interesting and on point. Jeoffrey Wansell is also excellent. His analysis adds a lot of interest and emotion to the show. I also like that some of the cases are from recent years. Some crime shows only focus on old cases but not this one. Very interesting and informative show! Highly recommended! 👍👍👍

I appreciate the sheer number of experts, input from detectives and almost-victims, and a number of family members and journalists -- they keep it varied and supply a lot of interesting facts on each killer, from childhood to imprisonment and death. Each episode makes a stand-alone documentary. I like Fred Dineage's background commentary -- his voice is clear and easy to follow. Unlike some of these true crime shows, they don't use the same shots over and over from one episode to the next. I've watched the first 7 seasons a couple of times, but can't find season 8. If you like true crime, this show will have many killers you've never heard of before.

Fred Dinage has become loud and irritating on the narration of each episodes

His emphasis on each deadly moment has your headache turning into a migraine!!

It's time for a more deeper soft tone.. Someone fresh and new.

Cracking series. Even though most of the cases are familiar to a lot of us, it's filmed nicely with a few extra tidbits of information about some of the worst humans to walk the planet. There were two episodes that were particularly interesting. Killers I hadn't heard of.

The one thing that very nearly stopped me from watching episode 2 and more, was the voice of one of the 'experts' featured in the episodes. If you can't tolerate the sing-song effect that some people have when talking - when they leave the last words as a hiGH nOTE - then you might get irritated. In ep 7, which covers Ed Gein, Harold Schector's high notes hit a peak. I'm guessing it's because he's the author of an Ed Gein book and some other books about serial killers. So he gets super exiTED and emphasISES his senteNCES. He does a slurp type sound too. Might seem a little petty but he covers each episode and it kind of ruins it for me. Other than that, it's a decent watch.

So, why don't they interview any of the British citizens who were convicted of murder? Why don't they make a bigger difference between spree killers and serial killers? Evil killers ... well, I'd expect more in-depth coverage of what makes them evil. As an indigenous person, 'evil' has very little meaning unless it is backed up by a tremendous lot of deviation from 'normal' human behavior. Since there are so many English accents, I assume that this is a show from a very narrow definition of 'evil,' given all the crimes against humanity the English visited upon non-white peoples across the globe.
