AKA Close Encounters with Evil on A&E Crime... if you search the title A&E gave you would not find this which perhaps likely explains no official score for this show right here on iMDB...
After 2 episodes & presently on the 3rd (in season 1), I feel this show does a great job of mixing the experiences of the near-murdered victims along with the background story of the serial killer himself.
I recommend watching this! The first 2 episodes really paint a picture of what these victims experienced having both been tricked into a web of charisma or extreme friendliness...
This show proves that not everybody you think is normal or morally sound, is actually true. My father once told me people form their impression of you within the 1st 30 seconds. This might be true but only serves to prove that narcissistic, sociopathic or psychopathic people can easily manipulate you even those of you who are socially savvy.
You cannot judge anybody until you have gotten to know them for several months as anybody you know or make beief contact with could in fact be the opposite of whatever positive firat impressions you have of them.

If you can block out the 3 stooge podcast boys (Harry the Henderson & the Brokeback Mtn. Lib Bros.)..... you have a great documentary.
Not sure why the producers brought these 3 mom & dad basement dwellers on but they ruined what could have been a great doc series. I'm sure they regret it unless pf course there is some nepotistic reason which placed them on this show.
The other interviewees are each quite strong but the 3 dudes giggling about things like they are sharing microbrewerd beers outside Wrigley Field before they attend a pro-choice or pro-palestinian rally just trashes it for me.....

I recall being at the same theater for Ghostbusters & Indiana Jones recent sequels (which to me are in the same genre of classic cinematic movies) and this one blew those out of the park.
Really, was not expecting much going there but the story was great, what I thought would be crummy CGI was not, the actors were roghy on cue (even having missed many from the original movie) and the movie had great comedy!
I wish they were able to mix in Geena Davis (and understandably know why Alec Baldwin/ Jeffrey Jones) were non casted but they do a fantastic job keeping Jones's "Charles" character alive!
Worth seeing again in the theater- was that good!
