I wanted this to be good. This kind of format is my jam. And to have John Carpenter behind it, I was not only in but I would be forgiving if need be. But I forgave as much as I could.
It didn't work for me. These are billed as the telling of a real life story. Let's start at the parts where they interview the people allegedly involved in the story they are retelling. They come across as not only scripted but poorly acted. The delivery is so insincere you are left scratching your head why they didn't try to shoot the scene again.
There are reenactments and they are ok enough but then I researched the episode I watched to verify if it was true and there was so much literary license applied, there is barely anything real to it. There were only 9 min left and I still chose to not watch anymore.
